A tribute of Richard’s life may be found at www.andersonbethany.com where you may leave memories and expressions of sympathy for his family. Carpentry work was Richard’s primary profession, but he was a very good impersonator and enjoyed every minute of it. He is admired by many for his ability to brighten the lives of others, in spite of what he might be going through personally. Playing the Harmonica and listening to War/Lee Oskar, was very inspiring and entertaining to him. Drawing, golfing and drinking his Budweiser, as he watched his favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, were some of the things Richard looked forward to. His greatest pride and passion were his children and family; he loved them more than life itself. Among other things, Richard enjoyed being around family and friends. A great son, brother and father, he will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.

I’m Free Don't grieve for me, for now; I'm free, I am following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah, these things I, too, will miss. Be not burdened with time of sorrow, I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life's been full; I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one touched. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now; He set me free.
