He was married to Helen Knight 40 years. They were inseparable.

Goodbye to my friends at the Virgin.

Richard is survived by his wife Helen Vernieu, daughter, Allyson Guyser and her husband James, and granddaughter Alayna and their dog Corky, who have cared for Richard the past year.

In honoring his wishes, there will be no services. A Celebration of His Life will be held at a later date in Mesquite, NV.
