Richard’s job pumping concrete wasn’t a job to him because he enjoyed it so much.

In his off time he enjoyed trail riding the side by sides up north with the girls and spending as much time as possible with his girls. He was brought up as a child going to Kaler Pond and he continued the tradition with his girls. He would just ride around looking at trees and the lights, attended a lot of family gatherings. He took trucks up and down Dodge’s Mountain (and other vehicles that were not mentioned!). He liked truck pulling.

Richard was always up for a game of “Knock Out, King of the Dock or Corn Hole.” He was such a dedicated Corn Hole player that he installed battery operated lights for night time playing. He was a coach to his girls’ basketball and softball teams and as well as followed their games. One of his other talents was that he was an awesome cook. He never came empty-handed to any gathering. He was famous for his meatballs, French fries and onion rings.

He was a selfless man, always helping others in any situation, people always called for his help. He loved all animals and especially loved children of all ages. He was called a “Wheeler and Dealer” because he was always buying, selling and trading items.
