Richard was born November 28, 1948, in Columbus, Georgia to the late James Richard Sr. and Frances Earline Ray Peak.  For four years he proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy.  He was a hard worker who loved working as a backhoe operator and tending his garden.   He enjoyed his old truck and watching Alabama “Roll Tide” football.  Richard loved his family deeply and enjoyed spending family time sitting by the fire, camping and swimming.  At the end of the day he would always make sure everything was taken care of and was home for supper.
