Richard met the love of his life, Terri, 36 years ago while Country & Western dancing at the Caravan. That chance meeting sparked a lifelong bond, and the two have been inseparable ever since—sharing laughter, love, and countless memories together.

A man of many passions, Richard found great joy in sports and community. He played softball for years with coworkers and friends, participating in five different leagues. He and Terri also spent time together on several bowling leagues, combining fun and companionship. Golf was another of Richard’s favorite pastimes, and he especially looked forward to participating in fundraising tournaments with his son Andrew in support of the girls' teams.

One of Richard’s greatest joys in life was coaching his son’s teams throughout the years. His dedication to supporting and guiding young athletes was an inspiration to many, and his impact was felt far beyond the field.

To his grandchildren, Richard was simply the best. Known lovingly as “Grandpa and PaPaw,” he had a special gift for connecting with kids—always down on the floor playing games, especially UNO, and sharing in their joy. He rarely missed a game or event, showing up with pride and enthusiasm whenever he could.

Richard was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather. His kindness, sense of fun, and unwavering support made him a treasured presence in the lives of those around him. He leaves behind a beautiful legacy of love, laughter, and selfless devotion.

He was the best grandpa, PaPaw and dad any kiddo could ask for. He will be forever remembered and deeply missed.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents; granddaughter, Mackenzie Segura; and sister-in-law, Deina Shuffield.
