Resident Spotlight: Richard Mohr
A retired University of Illinois Professor of Philosophy and of the Classics, Richard has spent a lifetime exploring ideas that shape how we understand the world.
His work spans ancient Greek philosophy, American ceramics, Inuit art, and groundbreaking contributions to LGBTQ+ studies, including writing that helped influence the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision on marriage equality.
Richard and his husband of 48 years, Bob, found ClarkLindsey at just the right moment in their lives, and that's when Richard found The Gallery here.
Through his writings, curating shows in The Gallery, charitable initiatives, and presence on the community listserv, he is enriching the lives of fellow residents, sparking conversation, encouraging learning, and reminding us all that discovery doesn’t end at any age.
At ClarkLindsey, Richard isn’t just reflecting on a life of impact, he’s still creating it.
