Richard was a hard-working man who overcame a number of obstacles in order to become a successful entrepreneur. During his lifetime, he worked in hospitality, as a commercial real estate broker. One of Richard's great accomplishments was owning and operating The Inn at Franklin. Richard loved the hotel and restaurant business.
In fact, his greatest passion was working in the people business. He loved to socialize and talk to whoever would listen.

Richard was a lifetime learner. He read many books and the newspaper every day. Richard loved sports, especially football; he was a dedicated Penn State football fan, WE ARE!
Richard was a family man; he attended all family events, games, plays, graduations, birthdays, etc.
He was a cherished father, grandfather, beloved great-grandfather, teacher, partner, and friend to many. He loved spending his days with his great-grandchildren, who he lived with. They were the light of his life and brought joy to him each day. Richard would always say, "Life is an adventure!"
