Dale Sanchez Obituary

Dale "Rick" Richard Sanchez was a Hi-Desert mason of 35-plus years. Year in and year out, he made his living performing one of the most difficult jobs in one of the most challenging environments on this earth. He enjoyed his privacy, living near the hills and mountains of the Sand to Snow national monument. He was a simple man, and kept his life in the same manner.
His most prized possession will likely have been noticed by many on the local desert highways. The T-Bird is hard to miss.
He is survived by three children and two sisters. We all miss him. To his nieces and nephews, he was always known as that cool Uncle Rick. He played a big role in all of their lives.
Here's to seein' you down the highway, Dad. Rest easy.

My sincere condolences to Rick's family! I hung out with Rick's from the late 60s to the late 70s. Practically lived at his home in Anaheim all during high school and after. Had great times cruising in his blue chevy van. He will be missed!
