Glenn Richard Albright was born at the family home in Indianopolis, OK on April 8, 1936 to Glenn Albright and Anna (Eyster) Albright and passed away on Monday, April 6, 2020 in Edmond, OK.

Richard was raised in Weatherford into a hard-working farming and ranching family. In Junior High, while working at a grocery store, he caught the eye of the girl who would be his lifelong love. He and Myrna Rae Griffin were married on July 17, 1954 just before they moved to Norman while Richard pursued a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from OU. Soon after graduation, he accepted a position at Temco Aircraft in Dallas, TX, where son, Scott was born. The small family then moved to Denver, CO for Richard's work with Martin Marietta. Daughter Kari was born while in Denver. In 1965, Richard accepted a position at TRW, an engineering firm that was contracted to NASA. The family moved to Alvin TX and Richard began work in the Gemini and Apollo programs. In 1972, when the Apollo program was ended, he and his family came back to Weatherford to help on the family farm. Both Richard and Myrna worked at 3M in Weatherford for many years. In 1984, Richard and Myrna relocated to Sidney, Ohio to work for the Stolle Corporation. Then, in 1992, with grandsons back in Oklahoma, they decided to move to Elk City and help with daughter and son-in-law, Kari and Roy, in their motorcycle shop. He retired in 2012, and moved into memory care at Touchmark in Edmond in November of 2019. Richard was a long time member of the Church of Christ. Even as his memory faded, his love for Myrna never did. He would tell anyone who spoke with him about his love for his Myrna.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents, son, Scott Albright, sister, Beth Harding, brother-in-law Ron Harding, and son-in-law, Roy Canard. He is survived by his wife, Myrna, of Edmond, OK, a daughter, Kari Canard of Edmond, and three grandsons that he was so proud of: Aaron Canard, wife, Nicole, son, Liam of Eastvale, CA, Trey Canard and wife, Hannah of Edmond, and Jaxon Canard of Edmond, his sister, Joi Wilson and husband, Darrel of Weatherford, Ok and his brother, Jack Albright and wife, Betty of Weatherford, OK.

A memorial will be held sometime this summer under the direction Lockstone Funeral Home of Weatherford, OK.
