Richard Ruggiero Rodriguez

Richard, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and proud veteran of the United States Army passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He lived a life defined by dedication, strength, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear.

Above all else, Richard cherished his family.
