Richard worked many years in Quality Control with his most recent employment being with Northern Precision Products in Leroy, Michigan. Richard had many lasting friendships through his years of employment, playing softball, neighbors and his classmates. He could light up any room with his jokes or stories and could strike up a conversation with anyone (per his wife, he could talk to a rock) lol. He was known to many as “Ridge Runner.” He loved fishing, playing golf, softball and spending time with his family. He will be greatly missed!
