On June 16, 2007, Richard married Dreama Joyce Stiles at Hardware Ranch, Utah.

 

He was employed as an aircraft supervisor at Hill Air Force Base, retiring after 40 years of service. He had a very strong work ethic and was very respected by his co-workers for his straight forwardness and mentoring. He made many lasting friendships.

 

He was one of the last of the old-time cowboys and an avid lover of his horse, Duke, better known as “that old paint horse”.  He was a simple but very kind man, if you were his friend, he had your back for life.  He enjoyed hunting and loved wildlife. He spent hours riding and spending time in nature and the outdoors.
