He loved performing with his brother Lawrence and dear friends Arnie Allred and Little George Allen. They performed at events, weddings and county fairs all over Utah and the surrounding states.

When Richard wasn't working hard, he was playing hard. He spent many memorable summers with his family at the beach house in Capistrano.
