Richard lived a full and active life. He was a 45+ year accomplished shooter where he
participated, placed and won, several state and national pistol championships. He was
Vice President of the Cody Shooting Complex. Richard loved his motorcycling days and his
cars. He was also an avid drag racer. His favorite car to line up against the competition
was his Orange Fury Mustang. Richard appreciated humor and touched the lives of those
around him with his witty banter and jokes, right up until his final days.
Richard's career began as a young man in the flooring business. Here in Wyoming Richard
owned a flooring sub-contracting enterprise that he loved and took great pride, installing
quality flooring throughout Cody and Park County. He continued to work until a few
months before his death.
