So sorry to hear of my cousin Richard's passing. My prayers for the family during this difficult time. Richard growing up in Center and me growing up in La Joya I didn't get to know him until I got stationed at Ft. Carson in the early 70s. We became good friends to Richard and Mae. Good memories of him and Ramon, Joe, Benito and the rest of the family.
