When one of his children or grandchildren needed help, he was there. His love of country brought him into the service and reflected in his great appreciation of American history. Richard had an affection for animals, especially his canine companions. Whenever an animal was in need, he provided. He has also been a lifelong Eagles fan, always thinking the next season could be the one!
