In 1963, he decided to return to Thornton and go into the farm drainage business with his dad who started the business in 1947. He and his son Lance now run the business. Following the tradition of his grandfather, Carl Floy, who went to Leech Lake, Walker, MN at age 16, Richard and his family spend time each summer at their house-boat at Moonlight Bay, Walker, MN.
