He freely donated his time to others as a member of the St Vincent de Paul Society including terms as president and other positions. He also was a Eucharistic minister to the homebound and infirmed. Richard was married to the love of his life Doris for 68 years; she passed away in 2017. During their time together they traveled extensively in the US and abroad. They also took great pleasure in the 29 years they maintained a residence in St Pete Beach, FL where they established a large and close network of friends.

Richard served his country with the United States Army. He was a WWII veteran who deployed to Germany in 1945. He received the WWII victory medal and the Army of Occupation Medal.
