Richard attended school in Missouri, North Dakota, and Wyoming. He was employed by Bridger Coal Company for many years as a heavy equipment operator. He then worked for UPS in Rock Springs and Evanston, and later for Seward Trucking Co.
Richard was known for his stubbornness, his wit, his love of babies and dogs, and of course pickles. He loved fishing with his dad and his uncle. He was an avid Green Bay Packer’s fan, but loved all sports and would watch any event.
Even though he was extremely hard-headed and insisted on doing things his way, he also liked to joke and kid around with everyone he knew.
