On August 25, 1986 Richard married the love of his life, Dolores (Vogt) Gerdes in Ames, Iowa. "Their" song was "May I have This Dance for the Rest of My Life?". The couple enjoyed taking bus trips, golfing, dinning out with family and friends, and attending the Showboat and concerts at riverfront. For many years, they were members of the Fulton Country Club. Additionally, they for years, enjoyed vacationing in Florida while visiting Dolores' son, Barry. Until recently, Richard also helped count Sunday collections at Prince of Peace Church.
