Sunday, June 19, 2016Jean's West, a denim company, Fashion Conspiracy, a juniors' line, and United Sporting Goods.Mr. Wyman retired from Edison Brothers in 1988, returning to Baltimore and keeping a second home in Jupiter, Fla. He became a limited partner at First Manhattan Co., a boutique investment firm, in New York in 1989 and worked there until his death.Relatives said Mr. Wyman donated several million to charities around the region, including to the Associated Jewish Charities, Johns Hopkins Children's Center and KIPP Public Charter Schools. He also donated to his alma mater, the Park School, and a 44,000 square-foot arts wing at the school bears his name."I think he felt that he had been incredibly fortunate and it was incumbent upon him to do what he could to help others," said Jean Wyman, a daughter from Baltimore. "He was very interested in education policy and what could be done to improve the system for a majority of people who couldn't attend private schools."George Dover, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center, said Mr. Wyman and his wife donated money to open a new nursery."He felt very strongly about children and knew that both their health and their education were essential," Dr. Dover said. "His wisdom and his advice, in addition to his philanthropy, I think will be significantly missed."Mr. Wyman was seen as the patriarch of his large and tight-knit family, relatives said. He became a second father to his three nieces and nephews, including Mr. Abrams, after their parents died at a young age.When they were children, Mr. Abrams said, he and his brother accidentally sparked a fire in the house and Mr. Wyman came home and saw what happened."I was crying," Mr. Abrams said. "My goldfish and my stuffed rabbit were on the second floor. He climbed the fireman's ladder and retrieved them for me."Relatives also spoke of the advice and financial support he would provide to his extended family."We would call Dick for any kind of help with any kind of financial stuff," Ms. Moser said. "Our family is top heavy with women and Dick was the man growing up."Mr. Wyman enjoyed reading, golf and tennis, and was a member of the Suburban Club in Pikesville and the Lotos Club of New York. He was an avid card player and enjoyed playing gin rummy and bridge with friends.A funeral was held Friday at Druid Ridge Cemetery, with a memorial service at the Park School.In addition to his daughter, Mr. Wyman is survived by his wife of 30 years, Judith Wertheimer Wyman; a son, Frank Wyman of Short Hills, N.J.; and five grandchildren. A marriage to Marjorie Weinstock ended in divorce after 25 years.cwells@baltsun.com...
