He is survived by his lifelong loving partner, Shirley, his son Scott Nelson (wife Stephanie), and his granddaughter Madeline. Richard, known fondly as Dick, embraced life with a passion for both work and leisure. Retiring at the age of 55, he dedicated his time to sharing his engineering expertise, lending a helping hand to friends and family with construction projects. He found joy in the simplicity of fishing and hunting, always eager to cast his line and spend time in nature's embrace. A skilled marksman, Richard found camaraderie and fulfillment in the sport of clay shooting, maintaining his memberships in various clubs for an impressive six decades. Weekends were sacred for Richard, as he embarked on outdoor adventures with his beloved son Scott, forging memories that will forever live on in their hearts.
