Richard loved being outside hunting and fishing. He earned marksman awards while in the US Marine Corp and carried his love of guns and targets through in his other passion of shooting Trap and Skeet. Although disappointed when they drained Bonny Reservoir it was a minor hurdle in his road to a boat launch as other lakes were found (they were just a little farther to drive to). Richard loved animals and nature. He owned quarter horses until he left Colorado for 18 years to work and retire in California. Richard had many hobbies over the years. Another hobby Richard enjoyed was flying remote controlled airplanes. Although he was never married, Richard loved his nieces and nephews like they were his own children.
