On September 9, 2005 in Great Falls, MT, Richard married Florence Myre with whom he enjoyed life for 13 years and 25 days, until his passing. Richard loved the outdoors and always found time to go fishing or hunt for unique rocks.  When he wasn’t talking about the fish that got away, he would often be found telling stories about his time in Vietnam, or his work at the Oil Plant. Richard also worked at the Refinery in Black Eagle.
