Richard was born March 15, 1957 in Altoona, PA to Richard, Sr. and Catherine (Giblock) Sprouse. He married Kristine Arndt on October 25, 1980 in New Ulm. The couple have lived in Sauk Rapids since 1994. Richard was a Public Information Officer for the DNR for over 18 years, retiring in 2016. He honorably served his country in the Army from 1975-1980. Richard was an active man who enjoyed running, lifting weights, biking, reading, football and listening to music. He was a wonderful husband and father, always putting his family first. We will miss his humor, kindness, selflessness and support.
