As a Navy veteran of the Korean War, he served on the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge (CV-33), which earned two battle stars during the war and the nickname "Mighty Kay." A Delta Air Lines Pioneer, Richard traveled extensively for both golf and leisure and had an innate talent for fixing things that, like his swing, came naturally to him.
