Richard served in the US Army and his time enlisted was marked by a profound dedication to his country. He was stationed in Kuwait during his service. Richard was a loyal employee who dedicated 30 years of service to Mini Mix. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. Richard became a father figure to many that enter his life without hesitation.
