Richard was known by many nick names over the years, as a young boy he was known as ‘Atdam’ then Mr. Parker from Hoskins Ford in Smithers called him ‘Apple Johnny’ then it went to ‘Apple dude, Apple doodle, or noodle, or ‘strudel’. Sometimes all three together, he would start laughing every time. Throughout the Bulkley Valley & Lakes District he was known as Elvis.
