Richard served in the US Army in World War 2 where he met his wife Alice, who passed in 2010. He worked in the grocery business most of his life and retired at age 62. Richard and Alice had 3 children. They loved traveling in their motorhome and went 3 times around the United States. Richard loved to bowl and he bowled up until April 2015. He loved to put puzzles together and he made frames for almost every puzzle he completed - he had over 50 hanging in his house and garage! His love for his garden and yard was noticed by all especially his neighbors, as he worked in his garden almost every day.
He will be truly missed by his friends and family. Rest in Peace dad, grandfather, and friend!
