Richard loved to fish and enjoyed attending fishing derby’s with his railroad buddies. He was a craftsman who would make anything from trailers to parts that he couldn’t find. He enjoyed seeing the many deer that visited his property, he had a love for animals and any that would wander onto the property would be made a pet. Buddy and Yodi, his pups, and Eco and Herc his cats, were just a few of the wanderers. He especially loved his yorkie Cocoa.

Richard’s daily naps while watching Gunsmoke with Cocoa and his sweet little redhead Allison were extra special. He will be truly missed each and every day.
