Richard began his career in metal fabrication in his early twenties in the Chicagoland area. His strong work ethic and determination allowed him to climb the ladder from the ground up. He worked essentially every role in the industry, eventually becoming a successful business owner. He also had a passion for golf and cars. Richard was a loving son, father, husband and friend, but his favorite role was “grandpa”.
