Richard was united in marriage to Arlene Wollman on October 7, 1951 at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Menno, South Dakota.

Richard was a faithful member of the United Church of Christ in Scotland, and served in various offices of the church. As a youth, Richard enjoyed playing baseball. Later in life he enjoyed being a spectator at local sporting events and was a dedicated Twins and Vikings fan. While still on the farm, he liked to go bowling. He enjoyed golfing and fishing and having coffee with his friends. Richard was a member of the Scotland VFW.
