Richard leaves behind his sons David and his wife, Kay, and their two sons Jake and Mark, Plano; Stephen and his wife, Moira, and their daughter, Ella and son, Eamon, Flower Mound; and his daughter, Susan, and her daughter, Emily and son, Evan, Murphy, TX. He also leaves behind his sisters Sally Cope and Debbie Wells. Richard was a friend to many and a stranger to none. Always with a contagious laugh, a great sense of humor, and an even better story teller. And his stories got better with each time he told them. He was always willing to lend a hand or advice to anyone needing help with their car or home repair. Richard was an outstanding father and provider and will be dearly missed. Many treasures and happy, lasting memories remain. We know that he is in a better place, celebrating now with Sandy, Ricky, and all his other friends and family who proceeded him in death.
