Richard Sisneros

Jose R. Sisneros was better known by his family and friends as Richard. Richard was born December 27, 1948 and returned home on September 10, 2021- eight days after his mother’s anniversary. 

Richard will be remembered for his love for family and friends. He was always ready to lend a helping hand. He will also be remembered for his sense of humor- he had a joke for all occasions and had the ability to always make you laugh.

Richard graduated from high school in 1968. He served in in the United States Army and the El Rito Forest Service, as well as worked in construction. He ended his career by retiring from Rio Arriba County. He made and maintained friendships during all his working years.

He is preceded by his mother Tonita Sisneros, brothers Lando and Hermino Sisneros, and nephew/Godson Peter Lee Vigil.

Richard is survived by his sister Bernice (Pete) Vigil, brothers Rudy (Lori) and Arturo (Toni) Sisneros, Leroy Salazar and Samuel Sisneros. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends.
