Richard was most passionate about his family. He married Ruth Anne Seib in 1963 and together they raised four sons in Dallas. He also delighted in having nine grandchildren, spending time each summer to take his entire family on vacation together. Friends will remember him as adventurous, gregarious, generous and truly larger than life. Richard was the founder of Avalon Memory Care and was proud to have each of his sons work alongside him and continue to grow his many business ventures.
