Richard met the love of his life, Rebecca "Ann" Chapman, in North Carolina. They loved each other fiercely for 47 years. Richard's second love was building cars, specifically Chevy Novas. He'd take them completely apart and rebuild them in his garage. His love of cars extended to watching Nascar. He was a big Dale Earnhardt fan like most.
He also had a joy for fishing. He had spent a lot of time outdoors with his two stepsons. Richard was a kind and generous man. He'd help anybody in need.
Richard is survived by his loving wife Rebecca "Ann" Draine; sister Carol Herr of Alabama;stepsons David Williams and Chris (Becky) Williams of North Carolina; grandchildren Amber, Taylor, Kristy, and Austin; and great grandchildren Adalyn, Autumn, Jarvis, and Jaxon.
