Always a hard worker, Richard's first job as a boy was at a creamery in DuBois and then as a coal miner in Helvetia, Pennsylvania. He was a long-time employee of International Paper Company (in Tonawanda, New York and Mobile, Alabama), and retired from Degussa in Theodore, Alabama. He was also

employed by Kenmore Memorial Hospital and Henry Hoffman Real Estate Company in New York state.

Richard will be remembered by his friends and family as awonderful father who was a life-long and avid do-it-yourselfer. He was self-sufficient, creative, hard-working, a great storyteller, intelligent and practical. He will be greatly missed by loving family and close friends. Interment of ashes will be at Mt. Olivet

cemetery in Kenmore, New York.
