Richard worked for the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) in Cleveland, OH for several years before retiring and living out the rest of his natural life in Novelty. He had a genuine interest and love for nature, knowledge and a good discussion. He could often be found “playing” in his garden or digging in the dirt. He enjoyed hikes, kayaking, traveling and taking care of his cat, Baracka. He also enjoyed spending hours in the library expanding his knowledge of mathematics or history. Above all, he took great pride in his wife, Mary Ann and his daughter, Melissa.
