He graduated from Butte Central in 1941. Richard starred in football and was inducted into the Butte Hall of Fame for baseball in 1989. After a brief time working at the Kelley Mine, he enlisted into the Army Air Corps, where he served as a bombardier. During his time of service, Richard flew 35 combat missions as a First Lieutenant and was awarded the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1944, he was honorably discharged. In the 1950s, Richard worked for the Catholic Youth Organization where he supervised and scheduled athletic activities as well as coaching Little League baseball. Richard (a.k.a. Kind Words) worked as a residential adviser for the Trapper Creek Job Corps and eventually transferred to the Anaconda Job Corps. Here he worked numerous spike camps where he ran the canteen and organized recreation activities, eventually retiring after 30 years of service. 1943 was the year Richard married the love of his life, Alice Mary Vega, and soon after, they began their family. Survivors include five sons and seven daughters and families, 33 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, three brothers, two sisters, and a brother-in-law [survivors names omitted]. Richard was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Alice Navarro, and siblings, Harold, Paul, Henry, Mercedes; sister-in-law, Rita; and a son-in-law, Harold Norman. Richard will be sadly missed by his pet companions, Sarge and Spud. Notre Dame has truly lost their number one fan.
