Richard retired from International Harvester and The University of Tennessee in Memphis. He was a car enthusiast and spent many evenings in the garage helping others with their cars and building his 32’ Chevrolet. Richard lived most of his life in Memphis, TN while only living recently in Cookeville with his son and family. In his last years, he enjoyed spending time with family, sharing his love and knowledge of cars with others as well as attending The River Community Church and having the opportunity to hear his son, Steve, preach on Sundays. Richard’s life is a testimony of the goodness of God who is faithful to all who desire to be in relationship with Him.
The interment will take place in Memphis, TN.
Richard enjoyed supporting some of his grandchildren who have served at Lighthouse Christian Camp over the years.
