To Delores and all the Archuleta family, I'd like to express my sincerest condolences. I just found out about Dick's passing. I will always remember how thoughtful he and his brothers were to their cousin Regino Archuleta (my dad) and my mom, Rose. I'll never forget his warm and friendly smile and mannerism towards me and our family throughout the years. He and his brothers were there for us when my Mom and Dad were called home in 2013 and for every other family occasion. I'll never forget the courtesy and good upbringing they've always exhibited. Thank you for the wonderful memories primo. I'm sure you're enjoying good times now with all your family on the other side. Give my parents and family a hug for me. Rest in Peace until we meet again, CHARLENE

I remember Dick as a very helpful railroad employee. In the late 70s and through the 80s he monitored our supply of Silverton Vacation Guides stored at the depot and made sure the racks were kept supplied.
Very friendly and helpful. My condolences to his large and I am sure loving family.
