Richard Bounds Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Rick was devoted to his faith and was a fun and lively man who took time to listen to music and act in theater. In his younger years, he enjoyed skiing, baseball, and football; Rick also renovated houses, traveled, and fished any chance he had. He was a corporate trainer/programmer. He will be greatly missed.
Rick is preceded in death by his father and a brother, John Bounds.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara Bounds of the home; mother, Bonnie Holmes of Kimberling City, Missouri; sister, Robin Evans of Kimberling City, Missouri; as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
A celebration of life will be planned. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks.

I am sorry to read of Rick's death. My condolences to his widow and family.
I met Rick in 2016. I liked Rick. He and I shared many thoughts on music, politics and human nature in general. I appreciated his keen intelligence and enjoyed his sense of humor. He published a novel, River Primeval, and, occasionally confided in me about another.
Rick was a good and gentle man. I will remember him fondly.
