He loved to build anything out of wood and repurposed pieces of furniture. He repurposed several pieces over the past few years to look brand new. He loved breaking the piece down to the bare wood and building it back up to be perfect.

Richard also loved American history and going to museums. When visiting historical sites, he was always able to provide more information then listed. His impressive knowledge about history seem to come directly from an encyclopedia.

Making people laugh was another one of Richard's talents. He did not take himself too seriously and loved to be the life of the party. He was a talker, and to know Richard, you had to accept he liked to talk

There were many facets to Richard Lee Harrington, Jr., and some will remain a mystery. He will continue to be loved and will always be missed.
