Richard and Kathie raised their two sons in Edmonds, Wash., where he worked in the Aerospace industry. He loved remodeling homes, creating custom cabinetry and even designed and built an Insulated Concrete Home.

There was always time for family and Richard spent many evenings, afternoons and weekends attending Aaron and Alan's various musical concerts and sporting events. High priority for Richard was taking the boys salmon fishing on Puget Sound.
