Richard Michael Mello

October 14, 1955 - December 6, 2017

Richard was born and raised in San Francisco. He recently retired from the City and County of San Francisco, working at the Port of San Francisco for 40 years.

He enjoyed their travels to Florida, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Reno. They loved the sun, the pool, the ocean and they loved to travel. He also loved and had very fond memories of his closest nephew, Justin Roman and niece, Jeanna Roman and often spoke of the special times they shared.
