ROMO, RICHARD R. Age 62, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend passed away on December 12, 2014 surrounded by his family. He attended the University of New Mexico earning a B.A. in Political Science. He then went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from the University of New Mexico in 1986. He was a member of the New Mexico State Bar Association. Years later Richard opened Romo Law Firm in downtown Albuquerque. His unbridled entrepreneurial spirit led him to launch a successful e-commerce lingerie business, in early 2000 with wife Lisa. His energy, sense of humor and undying (and sometimes frustrating) love for the Dallas Cowboys will be forever missed- not to mention the biscochitos he made with his children each Christmas. Richard is preceded in death by his father Napoleon E. Romo and sister-in-law, Charlene Romo. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Lisa; daughter, Lauren Elyse; and his son, Richard J.; and his beloved cat, Jinx. He is also survived by his mother, Alice Romo; brother, Simon and wife, Nora; brother, Vince and wife, Cheryl; father and mother-in-law, Gilbert and Marlene Gonzales; sister-in-law, Gina Ikeda; brother-in-law, Lawrence and partner Irene; as well as many nieces and nephews. Mass will be celebrated on Monday, December 22nd at 10:00 am at St Jude Thaddeus Church: 5712 Paradise Blvd. NW, Albuquerque NM 87114. We wish to thank the UNMH Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit for their excellent and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to UNMH NeuroSciences Department.
