I met Richard when he worked at Purdue's Wade Utility Plant before transferring to Utilities Distribution. He was an all around good guy with a great smile and kind personality.

I worked with Richard in the Tunnel Gang at purdue for many years. I retired from there in 2015 and Richard retired 1 year later in the summer of 2016. I never saw him again. So sad...He was a GOOD man and had a great smile. RIP my friend.

The memories I hold in my heart is Dicks kind soul. He was always so welcoming, easy to talk too, and his smile. It’s so devastating that he was taken. All my love, thoughts, and prayers are with you girls and all the family. One thing is for sure, he loved his daughters and all his grandkids to the ultimate fullest!! Love y’all!
