The family was in Detroit temporarily to help with the war efforts. They moved to Franklin, Kentucky where Richard was raised on a dairy farm. After graduating high school, Richard joined the U.S. Air Force. Upon finishing basic training, Richard was sent to Minot, North Dakota where he met the love of his life, Shirley Wolf Jones. When his military service ended, Richard and Shirley moved to the Nashville area where Richard used the skills, he had learned in the military to open a heating and air business. However, Richard’s true passion was turning antique cars into Street Rods. He turned this hobby into a career, and in his opinion, a dream job. Richard won numerous awards locally, regionally and nationally. He took great pride in getting all his projects by word of mouth and never needing to advertise. “I build Road Kings not, trailer Queens”, he would joke when others trailered their cars to an event instead of driving them. In 45 years, he built 135 cars and had been restoring a 1929 Ford Model AA truck with Cory until Shirley’s unexpected passing last summer. Richard and Shirley celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 2, 2023. When Shirley passed away the following July, Richard was never the same. She was his everything.
