Richard was born on December 17, 1934, in Cady,

He married Beverly Cameron and they shared 63
years together. They move to Libby in 1958 and

Regis, and then Champion International. He
retired in 1990 from the mill, working in the
timber industry all his life.
Richard enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting,
looking for mushrooms, huckleberries and fire
wood. His greatest love was his family, friends
and very blessed to have many of both.
He enjoyed helping people build, remodel, and
repair. We used the saying "Have hammer will
travel" due to all the help he gave. He was
always giving his time and opinion. He will be
missed greatly by his family, he was loved
beyond words.
