Richard Elwell

Richard started teaching High School business classes then went to work for the Public Service Company. He then changed careers and worked for Farmers Insurance for over thirty years.

Richard enjoyed golf, the Broncos, dancing, music and sang tenor with the Northland Chorale. Fishing was his passion for years as he always said, "show me water, and I'll show you a fish!" He loved his family and singing Dean Martin songs, and was never late to a good party!
