Richard was a graduate of Roosevelt High School in Dayton, Ohio. He served in the Navy from 1961 through 1965. He started with Delta Airlines in Dayton in 1966 and relocated to Atlanta in 1976. He retired from Delta in 1995 after 29 years of service.
He was preceded in death by his parents Tom and Helen Moreland and sister Jeanie Jackson.
