He is survived by his dear wife of 56 years, Annette; daughters, Teresa and Cindy; and son-in-law, Will. Before his military career, Richard was a double major graduate of East Tennessee State University. He retired from the United States Army from Joint Special Operations Command as a Senior Military Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Analyst. He lived in many locations with his devoted family in his faithful service to this country. He enjoyed his worldly travels, the outdoors, and was an avid fisherman, bowler and golfer. His purpose in this life was well served and it makes those friends and family left behind happy to know that he made a difference and that he lived and lived well . . . A graveside service will be held with full military honors on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at 5:15 PM in Glenwood Cemetery. Those attending are asked to meet at the cemetery by 5:00 PM.
