He graduated from Buchtel High School in 1958 and Miami (Ohio) in 1962. He also served many years on the Blair House Board welcoming many new neighbors. Richard’s passions included raising and judging pure bread dogs, hiking many areas all over the country and being avid reader. After working numerous positions at Hissong Kenworth he retired in 2010. Throughout his life he was known for his consistent response of being “Mighty Fine” which reflected his affable demeaner. Many remember his kindness and as easy going.
