His career with Atlanta Richfield took him to California, where he met his wife Connie. His career in engineering took him and his family to California, Washington, Colorado and Kentucky. In 1980, he decided to put down roots in Joliet, IL buying Western Sizzlin' Steak House Restaurant which he owned and operated for 18 years.

He is also survived by his siblings Mary Albert of Prineville, OR and Bill (Karen) Sigman of Prineville, OR. Also, he leaves numerous nieces and nephews. Richard was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. His positive outlook on life lifted those around him even at the end of his battle with cancer. He will long be remembered as a source of strength to all who knew him. Richard enjoyed life to the fullest, traveling to Europe, Africa, South America and most of North America.
