Growing up with the Alderetes I have so many fond memories. Richard would tease you one minute and give you the shirt off his back the next. He was a great father, and I saw him put his family first always. He was a wonderful person and I am grateful to have had him in my life. I find some peace in feeling that he and my mother are up there having a grand old time and watching over all of us. Still, I am sorry he is gone. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
Love,
Sheila
