Former spouse to Mary, nee VanNoie, Craft. Loving uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Richard served in the US Navy and was very proud to be a veteran. A passionate sports enthusiast, Richard enjoyed golfing. His love for sports extended to his unwavering support for the Green Bay Packers, Brewers, Badgers and Bucks (in that order.) To know him was to hear him say "When you say Wisconsin, You've said it all." The last few years of his life he really found enjoyment and comfort at the Riverside Residence where he made many friends. Richard's greatest joy came from his family, he loved nothing more than to be at his grandchildren's school events and games. His legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty will continue to inspire us.
