He also received the State Farmer Degree. After high school, Richard attended Kansas State University Veterinary School and graduated in 1973. After college, Richard lived and practiced veterinary medicine in Pasadena, California, for more than 25 years, until he was shot and then returned to the area in 2004. After his return, he worked at Marysville Livestock for a short time. Richard raised shorthorn cattle and liked racehorses, cats, dogs, chickens and rabbits. He enjoyed games that challenged his mind, such as bridge, chess and crosswords. Welding and woodworking were also some of Richard’s hobbies.
