Upon retirement at the young age of 53, Richard and his wife, Connie, relocated to Park City, Utah, where he enjoyed an active outdoor lifestyle, spending his time playing golf, biking, and downhill skiing.�Dick and Connie loved adventure, planning ski trips all over the continental US and Canada, enjoying terrain on three different continents, to include helicopter skiing in Canada.Dick will be remembered as being exceptionally kind, a big teddy bear.�He loved to help people (both known and unknown to him) and host friends and family at his Park City house.�His favorite pleasure was not only to guide people to the best untracked ski runs and secret stashes of powder in Utah, but also to spend time with beginner skiers on simpler runs as well.�Dick had limitless determination and patience in teaching everyone, never angry or frustrated.
