My condolences to Lori and family. He was a gifted man and a treasure to Austin and Travis county. What a wonderful person who raised a beautiful family and has left such a legacy for all to be proud of. So grateful for your public service and the fact that you never left your roots behind. Salute to a great man.

Your smile was a light to all the world and your special and unique insights will be missed by all who had the joy of working and knowing you.

Rest In Peace my friend. Thank you for all you've done for our Mexican-American community. I treasure those years we met for breakfast and your wisdom that you shared with me.

Rest easy Mr. Moya. You were, and will be, an inspiration for generations to come. I always enjoyed your smile and positivity you brought to the room.

My deepest condolences to the Moya family. Austin has lost another great icon, tremendous public servant, and legendary trailblazer. Que in paz descanza, Mr. Moya.

Lori,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. Praying for you and the Moya family.

I was saddened to read of Richard's passing. We first met in 1970 , and for maybe 15 yrs or so, I saw him fairly often. We had not seen or spoken to one another for many years, but I remember him as an outstanding public servant and sure enough buena gente. Que vaya con Dios! My condolences to his family.
