He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. Richard was also a man of faith and was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed nature, and fishing. He also loved country music and dances. Richard will be remembered for his devotion to family, his hardworking nature, and his kind and caring spirit. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
