He always worked very hard and was currently employed at Detroit Tool. He also enjoyed riding motorcycles and for his 50th birthday, had ridden his motorcycle to Sturgis for the annual motorcycle rally held there.

Richard was a good dad and a good grandpa. He was very outgoing and made friends wherever he went. He was ornery, and continued to get more so. When he married Polly in 2012, he changed his life for the better by getting close to God.
