Mrs. Lopera, I just learned of Ricardo's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with him for 20 years and he was indeed a wonderful man. He spoke only good of the people he knew and worked with. I hope your wonderful memories will comfort you and the girls. He did love his family and was so proud of those girls. I moved to north fla when I retired from orange county in 2003. I heard from one of the transportation officers that Mr. Lopera had passed. He made a positive impression on every one he worked with and was very well liked. Again, I'm so sorry. May God be with you and keep you strong. Sincerely, Alice Lear
