Richard always put his family first, cherishing every moment spent with his children and considering them to be his greatest source of joy and pride. He was the fierce protector of his whole family.

With utmost patience and skill, he would venture into the wilderness, finding solace among nature’s beauty. Richard reveled in the tranquility of the woods, appreciating the connection it provided him to the world around him.
