It is with great sadness that I read this obituary. I worked with both Richard and his wife MaryAlvin at the phone company in Clovis NM many years ago. Two of the most amazing wonderful great friends. I am deeply saddened by this news. My deepest condolences to MaryAlvin, her children and Richards family. I am very sorry to hear the news

Richard has always been such a great guy. Very down to earth. Our Lady of Schoenstatt has welcomed him with loving arms.
He and Maryalvin have been such an inspiration with their example of sincere piety, and love of our Lord and His Mother.
May God give Maryalvin and the whole family the comfort and consolation they always have provided for others.
In Jesus' Love, Jim and Toni Gnotta
