Richard owned his own successful painting business, Richard H. Brown Premium Painting and Decorating for the past 45 years. He was an avid golfer and was a member for several years at the Seven Oaks Golf Club; he had his pilot’s license and enjoyed flying airplanes but most important to Richard was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
