Richard spent his childhood in Austin on Norwalk lane and attended O’Henry Middle School and graduated from Austin High School in 1966. Joining the US Navy, he served in the nuclear power training program. Returning to Austin, Richard became a Journeyman Electrician belonging to the IBEW Local 520. He was a proud descendent of the “Texas 300.” For a time he was a member of the Gypsy Motorcycle Club, a recent member of the Centex Tin Lizzie Model “T” Club and a faithful member of Christ Redemeer Church in Granite Shoals.
