As a young man he loved going to jackpot roping and rodeos. He was a loving husband and a father like figure to many and was known as Papa Dick to all the children. He was a volunteer Fireman at Jarrell Fire Dept. He worked for Centex Propane and Georgetown Feed & Mill (Threeway Feeds) until he became a full time, Rancher. He loved to ride his horses then he took to riding 4-wheelers, which were his legs, after he started having knee problems. He was a hard worker. He would get up at sunrise and not end his day till sundown every single day. He wore blue jean coveralls all his life. He was a simple man but had a huge heart! He cherished every moment with his family and friends, letting nothing stand in his way. We would like to express our gratitude for ALL the wonderful caregivers who took such great care of him.
