'''Richard Haller''' is a Pensacola businessman who owns [[Richard Haller Food Service Equipment and Supplies]] on West [[Romana Street]]. He is the husband of [[Nancy Haller]], dance instructor at [[Ballet Pensacola]] and eldest daughter of Pensacola businessman [[Norman Willenzik]].
Haller originally worked at [[Pensacola Restaurant Supply]], or Penko, co-owned by his father-in-law, Norman, until his death in [[1990]], until [[2002]], when an economic downturn forced Norman's brother, [[Oscar Willenzik|Oscar]] to let go about half of his employees. Among these were Haller and sister-in-law [[Marcy Friedman]]. [[Michael Friedman]] also left the business at this time, but was not let go.
Haller eventually founded Richard Haller Food Service Equipment and Supplies. He took a few Penko employees with him, including brother-in-law Michael for a period time.
He is a member of [[B'nai Israel Synagogue]], where his sister-in-law, [[Marcy Friedman|Marcy]], is treasurer.
His children have all gone through [[Pensacola High School|Pensacola High School's]] rigorous [[Wikipedia:International Baccalaureate|International Baccalaureate program]], except for Noah, who dropped out of it after his sophomore year to go to [[Booker T. Washington High School]]. He later ceased enrollment at that school to be home-schooled and dual-enrolled at [[Pensacola Junior College]] for his senior year.
