Richard was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Our Saviour and also enjoyed being in fellowship with all faiths, seeing no boundaries and believing that God governs all. He was a kind, gentle, and compassionate man who enjoyed being outdoors, farming with his brother raising Black Angus cows, or simply enjoying beautiful sunsets and watching nature.
