A loving and caring father, Richard always made time for his family. Richard was a very passionate teacher and coach who touched the lives of so many during the years of his career. He started out coaching Bantam League Football and carried through his passion for sports by uniting two schools and becoming the first Athletic Director at Lacache and Montegut Middle Schools. Richard was a vibrant and vivacious soul who brought happiness and laughter to all who had the honor to know and love him. Although, sports were his first love, he spent 40 successful years working in the oil and petroleum industry.

Richard’s memory will live on through the legacy he built during his 74 years. He will be deeply and dearly missed by all.
