Much like John Brennan’s comments I was also in Ricardo’s class in OCS. Alway felt a closeness to him as we both served many years of enlisted service before going to OCS. He was deservedly an honor graduate from our class and it’s impressive to see his leadership and desire for excellence did not sei after his military career. Condolences to his family.
I just learned of Ricardo's death. I had the privilege of being in the same class at Officers Candidate School. He was a very impressive man. I see from his obituary he continued to live a very full and productive life. It was an honor to know him and I am sorry for your loss. John Brennan OCS 1968-02
I am sending prayers for peace and comfort and strength for the family during this time. I enjoyed being neighbors back in the day about 1970. We had family get-togethers and shared some holidays. Rick was a great husband and father that I saw. I didn't know so much about him and what all he had accomplished. Thinking of you all..Joyce Bloom(Warbis)
