Richard was known best for cruising around town in his 1999 Ford Mustang. He could be mostly be found in his spare time working on it, taking great pride in keeping it in tip top condition. If Richard wasn’t in his garage he was more than likely spending time putting together models cars, or playing his various guitars and singing his favorite songs. Richard had served in the United States Army from 1973 to 1975.
As per Richard’s wishes, cremation has been accorded. A celebration of life will be held on June 24, 2023 at the Abingdon Legion at 1:00 PM.
