Richard’s legacy will always be dedication to his family. His strongest belief was Family First. He was a kind, dedicated and generous Son, Husband, Father and Grandfather, who would give you the shirt off his back. He worked very hard and made sure his family was always provided for throughout the years. Dad felt privileged to be on this earth for 90 years and had so many glorious stories to share of his life but was truly at peace and ready to be God.
