Richard “Trashmouth” Tozier / Richie
A member of the Losers’ Club who is also a part of Derry’s tiny Jewish community. He is the son of Donald Uris and Andrea Bertoly. As a boy, he expresses an interest in ornithology, and his knowledge of birds saves him from being devoured by It when he goes to the Standpipe alone. As an adult, Stanley and his wife, New York-native Patricia Uris, live in an Atlanta suburb. Stanley owns a prosperous accounting business. Stanley and Patricia meet at a sorority party during his years as a student at New York State University, which he attended on a scholarship. They become engaged while they are both still in college. Stanley earns income by driving a bakery truck and later gets a job at an H&R Block, where he works before opening his own business in 1975. He and Patricia struggle to conceive a child, which Stanley is convinced they are unable to do because of him. Though he does not know it, none of the members of the Losers’ Club have children. On the night of May 28, 1985, he gets a phone call from Mike Hanlon, notifying him that It has resurfaced, which prompts Stanley to commit suicide in the bathtub. His wife finds him with his arms and wrists slashed open and the message “It” written on the wall’s tile in Stanley’s blood.

Was there a word for what they had been? Oh yes. There always was. Le mot juste. In this case le mot juste was wimps…
