Richard G. 'Bugsy' Bogdanski entered eternal life peacefully surrounded by his family, in Harper Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. He was 64 years old. Richard was born to Richard and Helen Bogdanski. He graduated from University of Detroit Jesuit High School and the University of Detroit. Richard received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Detroit Law School and practiced law for 40 years. After early work as a prosecuting attorney for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, he devoted much of his career defending those in the juvenile justice system.

Bugsy enjoyed many activities, taking pride in his fruitful garden and a delicate golf game. He was a connoisseur of gourmet food, fine wine and a good Manhattan. As he loved his monthly feasts with his "Dinner Club" where good food and drink were always customary, it was his appetite to be with friends and enjoy their company that fulfilled him throughout his life. He had a vast list of friends. The mere mention of "Bugsy" in and around Detroit always brought recognition from someone, somewhere, at anytime. He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.

Bugsy was known for his love of family and friends, his warm and genuine affection towards all and a limitless zest for life. For Bugsy, it was always about family. He was the loving son of Richard J. and Helen P (Domienik), devoted brother of Gregory (Laura) and Bonnie (Pat). He was a loving uncle to Lisa, Ted, Pam, Tanya, Audra, Steven, Jennifer, Katie, Sarah, R. J., Anthony, Patrick, Julie and Dan and great uncle to Blaine, Brant, Ali, Elizabeth, Stefan, Gregory and Grace.

Family will receive friends at A. J. Desmond and Sons Funeral Home, 32515 Woodward Avenue Royal Oak (between 13 Mile and 14 Mile) Tuesday, March 4, 2008 from 5-8 pm and Wednesday, March 5, 2008 from 2-8pm. Rosary and eulogy Wednesday 7 p.m.

Funeral Mass Thursday, March 6, 2008 – 10:00am at the National Shrine of the Little Flower, 2108 W. 12 Mile Road, Royal Oak. Visitation begins at church at 9:30am.
