Richard loved fishing and country music and taught his two grandsons to love both! He was most proud of his two grandsons. Their last project was building a cottage for hunting and fishing at the East Texas family farm. But most of all Richard was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend who will be deeply missed.
