Wanting to follow in the footsteps of his father, Richard desired to be a doctor and diligently worked hard in high-school, college, and medical school to achieve that dream. He graduated with honors from Highlands High school, honors from A&I University, and honors from Tulane School of Medicine. He interned at Robert B. Green hospital, conducted his orthopedic residency at UT Health Science Center, and served for 2 years in the U.S. Air Force as a major and in 1974 he returned to San Antonio to begin private practice in orthopedic surgery. In the spring of 1963, he married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Johnine Sue Hadaway. Together they created three beautiful children, Kathleen R. Jeff Gately, Richard P.

Over the years he has served in various church ministries and has lead many souls to know the Lord. He was a good and faithful servant for Jesus.

Richard, as your soul mate, I will continue to love you until I see you again – "Until Then Sweetheart".
