Richard proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict. For many years, Richard worked as a truck driver hauling propane for Petrolane/AmeriGas. He enjoyed stock car racing and camping at the various tracks to which they traveled. After retirement, Richard and Orlys spent summers at their property in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where they fished and enjoyed time together in nature. He also liked to watch and support Notre Dame and the Detroit Lions and Tigers. Most importantly, he was proud of his family and the legacy he helped build. He loved them dearly, and they loved him. He will be deeply missed.
