Richard Erwin Harper was unlike most millionaires. He never flaunted his wealth or even allowed his friends and work associates to know he was worth millions.
College-educated, he chose law enforcement as a career and spent nine years as a Franklin County Ohio Deputy Sheriff, then another five years as a homicide detective with the sheriff’s department.
In 2018 things began to change for Richard. After losing his mother to an unknown illness and his best friend, Homicide Detective Carl Yates, he decided to give up law enforcement and move on with his life.
The changes in his life took him to Sarasota, Florida, where he purchased a home on Palm Island, Siesta Key, and became a Private Investigator.
The best change in Harper’s life was the moment he met Melissa Richardson. She decorated his Palm Island home, and they both fell in love with one another. By the end of June 2020, Melissa and Richard were married, and he had purchased a large estate on North Casey Key for his beautiful bride.
