I was so saddened to hear about Richard. He was a nice friend to my father who always made him laugh. I will always remember him at the Azteca Golf Club tournaments cracking jokes and always smiling. Say hello to my dad Richard, I know you have him laughing about the good ole times at the Monte Carlo Club. Rest Easy and say hello to my father Ernie Facio.

My deepest condolences Raquel and Ricky for the passing of your dad. Uncle Richard was an extremely funny man and had the biggest smile ever. He will be greatly missed.
