Richard dedicated a significant part of his life to serving his community as a bus driver for Sioux City Transit. His easygoing demeanor and social personality made him a friend to many, as countless individuals came to know him through his work. Richard’s ability to connect with people not only endeared him to the passengers he drove, but also left a lasting impact on the community he served.

He was proud to have served his country in the United States Army until his honorable discharge. This sense of duty and commitment to service carried through to his personal life.
