He was an avid Houston Oiler / Texans fan and loved the Texas Long Horns.

Besides his love for football, he loved his grandkids. He especially loved to spoil them at Christmas, Easter, and birthdays. He always enjoyed a big Sunday breakfast and taking the grandkids or anyone that would go. Everyone in the restaurant knew him by name. He loved his family and enjoyed family get togethers especially if music and dancing was involved. You could always find him listening to music, but his favorite artist was Elvis Presley.

Richard, who was perpetually early, always wanted to get things done ahead of time. The grandkids always got a kick out of going to his house in the summer, and his Christmas shopping would be done. His living room was filled with wrapped gifts until December.

He always welcomed anyone into his home. In his younger years all the kids in the neighborhood referred to him as “Dad”. He enjoyed having his evening beer and a shot of patron on occasion.

Later in life, he enjoyed being at the gym working out with men in their 20s and mentoring them on a proper diet and form when lifting. He would workout 4 days a week and was in outstanding shape.

Richard had a very strong work ethic and retired at the age 80 from his sales job.

He passed peacefully surrounded by his family and close friends.
