Quite the renaissance man, Richard enjoyed traveling the world with his loving wife. He loved a good meal, reading and great conversation. Richard was an outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, woodworking and animals. He recycled everything and was the king of tinkering. He was a friend and mentor to many, but his favorite thing to do was sit around his kitchen table with a cup tea, enjoying the company and his time spent with others.

Richard shared his life and was adored by many loving nieces and nephews.
