Richard Adams Eichner

Richard Adams (“Ad”) Eichner died on October 17, 2019 at his home in Alexandria, Virginia. He was 66 years old. Mr. Eichner was a native of Richmond, Virginia; he was a 1971 graduate of St. Christopher’s School; a 1975 graduate of Cornell University; and a 1980 graduate of both the University of Virginia Law School and the Colgate Darden School of Business.
