Ricardo was such a great guy! He was friendly, outgoing, and great with students! He often spoke of his wife,  a teacher.   His absence is still greatly felt!

Dear Evangelina,
I was so saddened to hear of Ricardo’s passing.  Cherish the many happy memories you and your children had with him.  I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.  May he Rest In Peace in Heaven.
Love,
Ruth Ecklund

Evangelina,
Please know that your Hueneme Elementary family has you in our thoughts and prayers.  I am heartsick to hear of your husband's passing.  I will have you and your family in my heart .  I hope you will find comfort in the many joyous memories of happy times together.  I'm so terribly sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace Ricardo...its been years since I've talked to you...but you were always inspiring and always in a great mood...I will always remember the stories you told me...rest in peace friend..😥

My sincerest condolences go out to all of the family.  I worked with Ricardo at Driffill school where he was a pushin intervention teacher for my students.  He also subbed for me at Brekke and later at Lemonwood.  He was a kind and caring human being and I was always happy to see him.   He always shared news of his family and spoke so highly of his wife and her teaching career.  He will be greatly missed.  Much love to his family.

I would like to share this memory of my colleague, Ricardo.  It is in the form of a job recommendation, but it says a lot about him.

To whom it may concern:

I have had the pleasure of working with Ricardo Jimenez at Driffill Elementary from 2005-2007.  While at Driffill, Mr. Jimenez has worked a push-in teacher and a substitute.  Only the highest caliber candidates are chosen by our principal to work in the position of push-in teacher, and Mr. Jimenez quickly rose to the top of the ranks.

Mr. Jimenez’s primary job description was teaching in Sheltered English Immersion and primary language classes (Spanish), but he has also distinguished himself as a team player willing take on any challenge.  In addition to his normal duties, he was always willing to take on whatever job the school asked and proved himself flexible and adaptable to any situation. When no male teacher could be found to teach Human Growth & Development to the sixth grade boys, it was Mr. Jimenez who volunteered.  When there were no subs, he uncomplainingly left his regular assignment to fill in.  Again when we needed staff to help with testing, Mr. Jimenez was there to save the day.     

Ricardo Jimenez is a dedicated professional who has many strengths that will carry him well through the teaching profession.  He is a very knowledgeable educator with a wide variety of experiences.  He is bilingual and understands the needs of English learners. He relates well to students from disadvantaged backgrounds and has a talent for inspiring and motivating youth.  Ricardo Jimenez is a highly regarded professional who would be an asset wherever he goes, and it is without reserve that I recommend him for a   teaching position.
