Richard Daw Obituary
Richard served in the United States Air Force and later dedicated 13 years of service to the County of Sonoma before retiring in 2014. Following his retirement, he relocated first to Rochester, NY, and eventually made his home in Las Vegas, NV.
A proud Raiders fan and Air Force veteran, Richard embodied perseverance and resilience throughout his life-qualities that reflected both his personal journey and his unwavering spirit.
He is survived by his daughters, Esther Morris and Melanney Daw; his son-in-law, Michael Morris; and his beloved dog, Roxi.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. For inquiries, please contact Esther at 1-707-889-0966.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.

I loved your dad we laughed so many times times together. I had him over for dinner and what did he bring? A Hugh bone for my dog.
