I am the daughter of Teresa (Ricardo's girlfriend) I had the opportunity to meet Ricardo and thought he was a wonderful man. A blessing my mother and to my family. We are all thankful to have met a man so loving like Ricardo who could always put a smile on our face. Although Ricardo's life was cut short, he lived a great life and I am confident that he is in a better place now. My prayers are with his family.

Today I honored a soul that was loved and appreciated by so many friends and family. I'm moved by the outpouring of emotion and prayers and it was an honor and a privilege to sound off Taps at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery for a fellow Viet Nam Veteran.
Our prayers go out to the Graciano family.
In His Service,

I was fortunate enough to work with Ricardo at IKON.I left in 2001 and Ricardo and I have spoken once a week, every week for the last seven years. My heart breaks for your loss and the fact that I will not have that phone call to look forward to anymore. Ricardo, may you rest in peace my brother.

Your father loved you greatly! He told us on many occasions of his love for you. Ricardo was a good friend and God loved him well. We laughed often. He never failed to check in to see how we were doing. We are sorry for your loss,but we know he is free from worry and pain in his new home with God.

I worked with Ricardo at AT&T over 10 years ago and we still talked frequently. He visited me often at work and we would talk about old times and people we knew. He always asked about my family. My favorite memory was last Christmas he called and left me this wonderful voicemail about how much he appreciated our friendship.

My condolences on behave of Graciano family - Niece Roxanne and Yvonne Graciano and Family, Sister-In-Law Sylvia Graciano & Late brother Guillermo "Willie" Graciano. Maricela, Franisco and Family,
I am so very sorry for this great loss! Richard was a very Honarble man, severed his Country Proudly. I last saw your Dad durning Veterans' Day celebration downtown monument standing proudly along with other Vietnam Vets. Always with a smile, a joke or two. Shared many stories and always took time to make sure me and the girls, grand-kids were ok after your uncle "Willie" passed on. Richard's smile will always remain in our hearts.

Rus and Family. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad was a wonderful man who always went out of his way to make sure everyone had a good time. From the Parades to the awesome Mexican resturants, he always took the time out of his day to take care of his friends. Ricardo was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed. I will be thinking of you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met him on the San Jose ACTS retreat. Wonderful person. I saw him about 3 weeks ago at the Jims on Hilderbrand, He gave me a great big hug and had a huge smile on his face. Talked about how much the retreat meant to him.

I first met Ricardo when he first moved to McAllen. He showed up at our Scripture class one evening. From that very first class Ricardo's personality made it seem as if we had known him for years. This class has been going on for about 15 years with many of the same members so you can imagine what kind of person Ricardo was for him to be so well liked and accepted. Ricardo was an opend minded individual when it came to religion and current events and was not afraid to ask questions or challenge an opinion. I only knew Ricardo for a short period of time but I will always remember his stories and his presence in our class. May he be at peace at the place we so often discussed at scripture class.

I got to know Richard a little better when he was down here in the rio grande valley working for Lexis Nexis. Although we both graduated from Burbank H.S. (he was two years ahead of me), I got to know him when he came to my office to sell me the on line law library. As we spoke we suddenly realized we came from the same high school and we knew the same old high school buddies. He became my friend and we often saw each other at church. My wife got to know him as she was in the same scripture class in McAllen. God Bless him and all of his family. He was very proud of his family and often spoke of them glowingly. May he rest in peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My favorite memory of Ricardo was when he used to live in the apartments on Military Hwy. One thanksgiving, Ricardo and RUs had their video camera taping a show like COPS and catching Marco Polo (the cat) trying to steal a turkey leg from the table. That was hilarious. Ricardo was always happy, no matter what life brought, and most of all, Ricardo loved his family very much.
