Richard was very knowledgeable when it came to fixing tractors, servicing and hauling heavy machinery, working most of his life in construction and driving haul-trucks. He started this line
of work after completing John Deere School in Dallas. He loved his family to the fullest; he was always talking about his dreams for them. Richard had dreams for his children to learn as much as they could to succeed in life.

Richard enjoyed taking trips to the coast yearly, especially the extended family fishing trips.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents; and one brother, Alan Wayne Huggins.
