Richard leaves us to cherish memories of laughter, happiness and love, an unconditional love, that he brought during his precious time on Earth.  He will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who enjoyed spending time with his family.

Richard retired from La Porte ISD after 30 years of service.  He loved what he did.  He enjoyed helping the children, teachers and staff at the school he worked at.  He owned a janitorial company where he employed his family members.  Richard was all about helping his family.  He loved to attend all of his grandchildren’s extra-curricular activities.  He was their number one cheerleader.  His love of music was passed down to his daughters.  He was his daughters’ superman.  He not only raised his daughters, but he also raised his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  He set a great example of how a great man should be.  We will hold all the wonderful memories dear to our hearts forever.
