Resident of the Month
Richard Di Ricco
This month, we are excited to highlight Richard as our Resident of the Month. A lifelong resident of Sacramento, Richard dedicated 37 years to Wonder Bread before retiring in 2006, eager to embark on new adventures.
One of Richard’s foundest memories is visiting the drive-in theater on Fridays and Saturdays. After the show, he would go to the pizza parlor for pizza and beer, creating lasting memories with friends and family that he holds dear.
Richard’s choice to move to The Oscar brought him closer to his daughter-in-law and family, allowing him to spend even more quality time with loved ones. He particularly appreciates the community atmosphere here, noting how friendly and welcoming everyone is.
In his spare time, Richard enjoys puzzles, reading, and watching movies, especially on Turner Classic Movies. He has a keen interest in history, documentaries, and Animal Planet is a favorite! He also resonates with Mark Twain’s quote: “Life is just one damn thing after another.” This reflects Richard’s positive outlook, which he brings into every part of his life at Oscar Senior Living.
The most significant lesson Richard has learned is the importance of being a good person and helping others whenever possible. His utmost happiness stems from the gift of life and cherishing moments with his wife, Helene, as he enjoys his favorite pastimes.
We feel fortunate to have Richard as part of our community. His joy, kindness, and optimistic spirit truly brighten our days!
