Richard worked hard and embraced being an entrepreneur. He affectionately called himself “Sir Fix a Lot”. He could fix anything if he put his mind to it. Richard had a big heart and loved helping others. His smile would light up a room. Richard had a great personality. He loved to talk too.He never met a stranger. Richard would give you his last.
