Richard had a beautiful voice, He sung at the 9am Sunday masses at OLPH church with our daughter Michele (Cisneros) Wokoek and George Carson playing the guitar. He is now singing with the choir of Angeles in heaven. We treasured these memories Fernando and Kathleen Cisneros

So many great memories of Rich. I'm sorry I just heard of his passing on March 31. Always a good an loyal friend.
