Richard passed peacefully at 75 years old on August 14, 2022. Born in Winters, Texas, he went on to join the Navy at the young age of 17 years old where he served on the U.S.S. Berkeley.  He did a tour in Vietnam and returned home where shortly after he married his wife Marianna to begin life as we know it with his 3 daughters, Roxanna, Racheal and Cassandra.  He lived a life full of travel, hardships, hard work and fought his way through it every step of the way.  He has a story that lives on throughout the world with people that he has met and influenced. From Presidents, to the Pope, to the man on the corner, Dad left a little bit of himself with them all.

He now leaves each of us with our own story to tell.

Richard is survived by his wife Marianna, 3 daughters Roxanna, Racheal and Cassandra, 6 grandchildren Logan, Olivia, Falon, Gavin, Graciela and Andres.  He is also survived by numerous siblings and dear friends.
