Richie enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served his country from Feb. 5, 1957, until his honorable discharge on Aug. 30, 1961. While in the service he had been stationed in Atsugi, Japan. Richie was united in marriage to Betty Lou Robertson on April 20, 1959,in Waukon, Iowa. After he was discharged the couple moved to Racine, where for the next 30 years Richie was employed at J.I.

In 1994 he started with a factory position at Global Industries in Osseo. He retired from this job only to return back to Global to work in the office. Due to ill health Richie was forced to fully retire in 2018. Richie had a tremendous work ethic and worked hard all of his life. He loved staying busy working outside taking care of the lawn and cutting wood. He enjoyed working with wood by building cabinets, countless shelves and memory boxes for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
