Ricardo N. Morales

Born January 3, 1932, to Francisco Morales and Sofía Nuñez. Ricardo entered into eternal rest on December 2, 2025.

Welcoming him into heaven are his parents Francisca and Sofía Morales, his beloved wife Rosa Zarate, and his sisters Francisca (Chica), Emilia, Sofie, and Gloria.

He leaves behind his loving children:

• Rosemary Lara (Pascual)

• Jesse Morales (Diane)

• Yolanda Olliff (Russell)

He was proudly blessed with 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Eloisa Gonzales and his brothers Jose Morales, Ernesto Morales, and Ramiro Morales (Cynthia), along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who loved him dearly.

Ricardo was a hardworking man all his life. He retired from L.C.R.A. and continued doing what he loved — taking on side jobs, mowing, building foundations, and staying busy. He enjoyed music, dancing, good company, and finding honest ways to make a dollar. He loved to dance, loved to talk, and he never met a stranger. That’s who he was. 

He left us with the same advice he practiced every day:

“Save your money, buy land, and always keep cash on you.”

A lesson we will carry forever
