When he wasn’t working, Richard enjoyed sports; he was an avid Red Sox and UCONN fan. He kept busy spending his time gardening, cooking, frequenting tag sales, collecting antiques, and his daily crossword puzzles. Most importantly, he enjoyed spending his time with his three grandchildren who brought him much joy. He was a member of Bethel Christian Church.
