- Richard was born in Sioux City on Jan 21, 1919, to Silvester and Elnora (Lower) Walburn. He attended Riverview, West Junior and Central High School, graduating in 1939. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II in the European Theater aboard the USS Menges DE 320 as a motor machinist mate.
- On Sept. 2, 1950, he married Jean P. Kutil. The couple made their home in Sioux City. He was employed at West Side Dairy, A.L. Galinsky Fruit Company and Great Northern Railroad (later Burlington Northern) as a fireman. He was promoted to engineer in 1950. He retired in 1980 after 38 years with the railroad.

Richard loved working in the yard, feeding the birds and the animals, including the horses, and tinkering around the house. He loved spending time with his railroad buddies and having coffee at Harvey's and the Horizon. He was especially close to his great-great-nephew and niece, Connor and Whitney. His eyes would light up when they entered the room. He will be forever missed.
