Richard was an incredible soul who left unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and an invincible spirit that touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.
He was a man who found joy in the simple things鈥攚hether it was a quiet afternoon on the lake spent with a fishing pole, gathering around a poker table with friends, or sharing a meal with loved ones. He liked to cook and was very good at it; his secret ingredient, of course, was love. He loved his country and flew the flag any chance he could.
He had an amazing work ethic, giving 23 years to his company. He was very good at working with his hands and built his wife an amazing home for them to share wonderful memories. His warmth, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his wife, family, and friends were unparalleled.
Always the first to offer a helping hand or a kind word, Rich had a unique ability to make those around him feel special and valued.
