“Today, as we come together to honor the life of my Tio Richard, we remember him not just as a Marine, but as a beloved son, brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Many of you have great memories with him , but I want to share a memory that perhaps you haven’t heard before.
When we were younger, Tio Richard had this unique way of greeting me. He would call me ‘Perica and whistle through his teeth. No matter how many times I tried, I could never quite replicate that whistle. But what he may not have realized at the time was that with each whistle, he was boosting my self-confidence, making me feel a little taller, a little prettier and helping me to love me. It’s funny how seemingly small gestures can leave such a lasting impression.
I’ll always treasure those weekends the family would get together, surrounded by his music and his impressive record collection that seemed to fill the entire living room. And who could forget his garage, filled with the most beautiful cars?
Today, as I reflect on his life, I choose to hold onto these memories. Though he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit lives on in each of us, and these memories will forever be etched in my heart.
As I imagine him entering the gates of heaven, reunited with our familia, I like to think he looked over and greeted my daughter with that same whistle. Te quiero mucho, Richard. Rest in paradise with the rest of our familia.”
