Richard had a very long life and seen many things. He was in the Merchant Marines and Army and fought in World War ll and the Korean War. He worked at McCarthy Ice Cream for over 20 years. Then moved to Arizona in 1978 where he worked as a automotive mechanic for Maricopa County.

Richard was the best at fixing things he was always working on some kind of engine whether it was on a car, go-cart, lawnmower he always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together. The best part was Richard was self taught on everything he did.

Richard touched everyone he met in life. He will be remembered for his patience, kindness, loving spirit. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
