Richard was preceeded in death by his father Ramon Tarazon, Mother Amelia Tarazon, and cousin Rosemary Morales.
Richard was not only the youngest but the only boy of four children. His sisters are, Irene Castaneda, Betty Saldivar and Sally Cordova. The Tarazon family moved to Fresno which is where Richard grew up to be a good man.
He joined the army and was rewarded the Purple Heart. After the army he got a job at Duncan Ceramics making pottery. He went on to have two children Rick and Cathy. He also was a grandpa to four grandkids.
After many years he retired, and went on to open his own pottery business. After 2 years of doing that he became ill. As the years went on he had lots of hobbies! Every Friday he would go and eat breakfast with his veteran friends. He also would meet up with his sisters and take them out to table mountain to eat. He also enjoyed gardening, he had a variety of plants.
As fate had it Richard got in touch with Lupe. They were a couple 25 years ago, it was like love at first sight all over again. They got married and they were the happiest couple. Richard was the love of Lupe life. They couldn't wait to be husband and wife. They were married 9 months and in those 9 months his family grew. He was now a grandpa of 9 grandchildren.
Richard and Lupe loved one another they were the perfect example of how love is suppose to be.
Richard was a husband, a father, a grandpa to his grandkids and a grandpa to Lupe's grandchildren, a brother a uncle and a great friend and he will be greatly missed.
