Following the death of his parents, Richard moved to Lincoln, NE.  He and his brother, Jim, owned and operated "The Pool Room" on 'O' Street.

After strokes claimed most of his mobility, he became a resident of Tabitha Nursing Home in 1997.  His aunt, Lucille Bull, was very much instrumental in getting him the care he needed.
