Richard enjoyed many jobs throughout his life, in his younger years he worked at Savin Rock, he then went on to set up and tear down amusement park rides for Chancey Brothers Amusements; He would then go on to travel the country working for Reinzo Trucking, East Coast Machinery Movers and Pedowitz Machinery Movers until his retirement.
He would tell stories about the many wonderful places he had the opportunity to experience across the country. He was a member of The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and an associate member of The American Legion.
Some of the things Richard enjoyed in life were watching Nascar, Antiques Stein collection, and listening to classic country music. Richard was a proud season ticket holder to the Pocono Raceway; He enjoyed camping at Eagle Lake in Pennsylvania, RV’ing in his mobile home, and riding his Harley Trike; above all though, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
