At 7:00 am on January 21, 2010, Richard Perales Jr. passed away and entered into heaven to be with the Lord. He was a beloved husband, devoted father, courageous brother, good buddy, and through it all, one heck of a fighter. Richard leaves behind his wife Oralia, his two sons Roger & Richard, daughter- in-law Carolyn, his brother Luis, and three beautiful grandchildren. He was a hard working, courageous man who strived to provide for so many others, yet enjoyed the simple things in life; like watching the Dallas Cowboys and shining his shoes. He will be greatly missed by all those whose lives he touched. Visitation will be at St. Benedict Catholic Church, 4535 Lord Road on Sunday, January 24, 2010 from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. with a rosary at 7:00 P.M. A funeral mass will be celebrated at 10:00 A.M. Monday, January 25, 2010 at St. Benedict Catholic Church with Rev. Eddie Bernal officiating.
