He attended school at Minnie Lake, Pillsbury, and Page. For most of Richard\u2019s life along with the assistance of his brother Buddy, they both worked land near Page ND. In 1974 Richard had taken ownership of the family homestead where he grew crops and attended to cattle until 1995. Richard was very close to his brothers and looked forward to their weekly outings. In the years between 2000 through 2016 Richard assisted Craig Burchill in raising Angus bulls. Richard was known to roam the local back roads stopping to either provide assistance or \u201cshoot the breeze\u201d with local neighbor farmers. During this time Richard had grown close to the Brudevold family and became a mentor to Jeremy. In his free time he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing cards with friends and family.
