Biography

Richardson Dilworth’s passion for civic reform carried him from Philadelphia law offices to the mayor’s office, where he marshaled urban renewal and championed fairness in municipal government.

He remained a thoughtful counselor to future leaders and a familiar figure in Christ Episcopal Church, resting now in its churchyard with the same determination that guided his public service.
