Richard married Diane Cahn in 1964 and to this union, three boys were born, Wendell, Richard Jr. and Kevin. Those who knew him well know he was happiest with family, enjoying the outdoors or a fire, or headfirst in a crawlspace making sure South Louisianians had adequate air conditioning. He was also a master craftsman in woodworking as evidenced by the many projects he completed for family and friends over the years.
In 1956, Richard enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps as an Artillery Fire Control Manager. He served overseas in Okinawa, Japan and attained the rank of E-4 (Corporal) before joining the Air Force Reserves and completed his military service in 1964.
Upon graduating college, Richard began teaching Drafting and Industrial Arts at East High School (Cleveland, OH.). He moved his young family home where in 1967 he began a career with Exxon Corp. He retired in 1986 and owned his own A/C repair business before returning to his alma mater. There he supervised the physical plant until his second retirement.
On Thursday morning, February 13, 2025, God sent an angel to bring Richard home to a peaceful rest.
