Born in Carrier Mills, IL on March 17, 1932, he was the son of Leroy and Corinne (Hart) Hunt. Richard attended schools in Waukegan, IL.

He was employed as a Carpenter/Millwright and a member of the Chicago Carpenters Union Local 448/250, during which time he was involved in the construction of the Zion and Pleasant Prairie Power Plants.

Richard was a lifelong learner. He enjoyed weather watching, loved nature, planting trees and was a true steward of the land. Most of all, he treasured all the precious times spent with his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, in addition to family and friends.
