He was raised on the farm and educated in rural schools. He married Lorine Kessler, November 19, 1953 at the New Glueckstal Church north of Glen Ullin. Following marriage they settled on the farm. They farmed until 1979 when they moved to Hebron and Richard took employment at the John Deere implement in Dickinson and later at Richardton. Wanting to work closer to home he took the maintenance position at the rest area?s near Hebron for several years, and at the last worked for Dale Heinle on the farm. Due to declining health he entered the Elm Crest Manor at New Salem late last year. Grateful for having shared in his life are his wife Lorine, Hebron; two daughters and sons-in-law: Lavonne and Pat Schwartzenberger, Mandan; Candace and Stephen Wolff, Dickinson, ND; his three grandchildren: Cora Rabenberg, Lisa Schwartzenberger, Jessie Sickler; and five great grandchildren.
