I was calling and texting Richard's number and it was being blocked so I just happen to google his name a saw the obituary and was shocked. He did a few projects for me on my house and we kind of became friends, what a great guy he was, so honest, I really am shocked, last I had spoke with him he was going to Mexico to volunteer his time building housing for people in need, Habitat for Humanity?? gary tanis

Richard was our go-to Mr. Fix-It Man! He could do anything, electrical, plumbing, painting and was a wealth of information about most everything needing a fix or replacement. Honest, God-fearing, kind, and hard-working man! He was working on our house the day before he passed, and we are extremely sad that this talented, generous man has left us! We will think of him always as he has transformed several rooms, garage, etc at our house. God Bless him and his family. Our deepest sympathies, Ann and Stuart Dobbie
