He worked locally before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1941. He served in Burma during World War II. After the war, he returned to White Salmon, where he married his sweetheart Dorisann Stratton in June, 1946. Richard and Dorisann moved to Yakima for several years, where he was an agricultural inspector and later owned and operated a Mobil service station. In 1960 the family moved to White Salmon, where the couple raised their four children and he took over the family cherry orchards. Richard was involved in many community activities over the years including PTA, American Legion, church deacon and choir, and Elks. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, golfing, woodworking and especially spending time with his family. He was an avid Mariner fan and always looked forward to spring when it would be baseball season again. When Richard retired, he and Dorisann enjoyed living at the beach and traveling before moving to Tacoma in 2003 to be near their family. In 2006 they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with family and friends. He is survived by his four children, Janet (Bill) Tassler, Peggy (Gayl) Glascoe, Rick (Denise) Balsiger, Rob Balsiger, six granddaughters, 10 great grandchildren, and sister Dorothy Hoogstraat. Special thanks to Dr. Davis and staff at Allenmore Hospital in Tacoma for their outstanding care and compassion.
