Ricardo enjoyed electronics and acrylic painting. He completed 4 years in the Navy Reserves, after this he became very ill. He suffered from severe scoliosis and parkinson's disease. He never lost his good humor and was always the jokester. Ricardo graduated from Hanna High School and attended Texas Southmost College. Our brother was a gentle soul. We will miss him very much.
