Richard was a Christian, and a member of the Linden church of Christ. He loved to fish and grow a garden. He also enjoyed selling his produce at the local Farmer's Market. He worked in the Sawmill Industry for most of his career. He took pride in learning how to run each piece of equipment. He used to say the Knuckle Boom loader was his favorite to operate.
Richard always had a smile and loved to make people laugh. He loved family gatherings and enjoyed being with everyone. He will be missed so much.
