Richard served his country during the Korean War in the National Guard. He grew up in Providence, Rhode Island and studied electrical engineering at the University of Rhode Island and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. After college Richard landed a job at the American Bell Telephone Company.
He was the loving uncle of Deborah and Gary Brooks of Fort Pierce, Florida, Paul and Cheryl Yale of Parkman, ME, Janet and Bud Walstedt of Willington, CT, and Stephen Yale of Manchester, CT. He was a great-uncle to Lukas and Kristin Tubeck of Tallahassee, FL and their two children, Connor and Hadley, and Lindsay Sutherland of Willington, CT. He treated his nieces and nephews with the greatest of kindness.
Richard spent summers in Lac-Saguay, Quebec, fishing and canoeing with family, selling hot dogs with his brother, Paul, at Roger Williams Park in Providence and Cub and Boy Scout time at Camp Yawgoog in Hopkinton, Rhode Island. His mother, Ida, started the first Cub Scout pack in Providence, Rhode Island.

Richard retired to Destin, FL with his brother, Paul. There he enjoyed walking and relaxing on the beach, eating breakfast at June's Dunes Restaurant, and eating at Harbor Docks and The Louisiana Lagniappe restaurants. June used to say that he was "the happiest man in Destin". He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone.
