Richard met and married the love of his life, Marion H. Heimroth on September 2, 1950 by the Reverend James J. Richards in Union N.J.

Richard worked in banking all his life, retiring as the Executive Vice President of the Roxbury State Bank in1988. In retirement, he moved with his wife to their beloved home on the Susquehanna River. Richard always had time for family and friends being well liked by everyone he touched.
