Rich came from a large family. Father, William Nunes, mother Florence Nunes. Rich had four brothers, Donald, Jerry, Jim and Mike. Rich also had two sisters, Marlene and Emma. Rich was born in San Francisco, California and grew up in Pacifica, California most of his life. Rich was introduced to horses at a very young age. The first time he rode a horse he knew he was a cowboy. The thing he loved the most with horses was team roping. It was his passion for life. He had a dream to one day own a house that had property to have his horses on. That dream came true in 2003 when he and his wife Nancy moved to Dayton, Nevada. He had a son Lee, who unfortunately passed before he did. Rich leaves behind his wife Nancy, sons, Dwight and Tony, daughters Stacy, Roni and his favorite daughter-in-law Leslie, son-in-law Scotty, grandsons, Nathan, Keston, Jack, Dylan, Luke and hundreds of friends. He was loved and will be missed by all. May he rest in peace.
