He loved to whittle wood
I went to his home many times with my grandfather when I was young… He taught me how to whittle and one particular day he gave me his own personal pocket knife that he carried in his pocket… My father told me I better take care of that knife and try not to loose it because richard just wouldn’t give someone his personal pocket knife unless he really thought a lot of them… It’s been over 30 years since he gave me that pocket knife and I still have it!!!
