Richard Barela was always so kind and loving towards me. He always wanted to know how I was doing and encouraged me to be my best and enjoy life to its fullest. We always shared photos from trips we were on and he would call me a couple times a year to check in and make sure that I knew I had an open invitation for a frito pie at his house any time I was in town. Great picture from my wedding in 2017 of Richard with my old boss Ted Martinez.
