Richard “Tyke” was born in Hollywood, California to Nelda Gertrude Drennan and Horace “Bud” Lufkin Hulburd on August 24, 1940. He went to high school at Hollywood Professional School and graduated in 1958.

He was an Army Staff Sergeant, serving for 6 years, from October 1963 until his Honorable discharge in October of 1969.
During that time he served in Los Angeles during the Watts Riots of 1965 and in Vietnam from 1968-1969. He received The Army Commendation Medal for his Meritorious Service in The Republic of Vietnam from September 1968 to September 1969.
