his grandson, Justin Richards. Other than his family, the loves of his life 
were hunting and fishing, which he enjoyed until the final days.

In his later years, Deno acquired a second family at the Bakersfield Dialysis 
Center. The family would like to thank the entire staff for all their help and 
support over the last eight years, especially Dr. Harold Baer, Dr. Hashim 
Kazmi, surgeon Dr. Donald Loos, and family physician, Dr. Stephen Newbrough.
