Richard Marin Obituary

Richard Marin, age 55 of Armona, California entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 surrounded by his loving family.

Richard was born in Corcoran, California on May 11, 1955 to James and Ramona Marin.

He also enjoyed gardening, mechanic work, putting models together, BBQ's, camping, road trips, especially going to the coast. He taught his sons to fish, even though he didn't really enjoy it himself. Richard had a great sense of humor and you often wondered by the look on his face what he was going to do next.

To the family of Richard Marin, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. My mother, Flossie Brown lived next door to your family for many years, and Richard was so good to her. My husband Ken, loved to talk to him while we were there at Moms house. When we moved Mom in with us, Ken missed talking with Richard and stopped by a few times to say hello to him. Richard was a good person, and he touched our hearts with the concern he showed my mother. Thank you Richard, from Ken and Jeanette Burrow
