I worked many years with Richard at Terminix. I am saddened that he lost his battle. Mr. Richard was always a bright face with a wealth of knowledge. I'm a better person knowing and working with him. James Nowlin
To Ricky, Mrs. Lucio, and the rest of the family, I’m very sorry to hear about Mr. Lucio passing. He was a great guy. I can still remember all these years later how kind and welcoming he and Mrs. Lucio were to me when Ricky and I were good friends in elementary school. I always felt like family while in their home. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest sympathies for the loss of Ricardo. We remember him from our school days. He was always very nice and kind. May the Lord comfort you during this time.
A very good friend since our years in high school. So very sorry not knowing this earlier.

Richard was a very nice guy and I always enjoyed our conversation. He was very knowledgeable about Helena history and places. He will be missed in the community.
I have come to know Mr Lucio for 9 yrs living across from him and his wife. He was always so nice to me. We often meet at the street as he walked his little dog Millie. He did always smile but when he did it was contagious. I will miss seeing him almost every day and our short talks. RiP Mr Lucio. No more pain and suffering.
Jane u and Richard always had a special place in my heart. I know u will miss your personal bug man. He’s not suffering. Love ya and take care of yourself.
I worked at Delta Cultural Center for 6 years. 2010- 2016. Always enjoyed Richard's visits to DCC for pest management back in the curatorial collections areas. We had interesting discussions about his growing up in Helena.
So sorry to hear about Richard.
Our prayers are with you Jane and family.
God bless him and all the family.and may he rest with peace and love from us all. I will forever even remember my last hug to my loving uncle. Don't be sad. Just know he'll always be close to our hearts wherever we go

So sorry to hear about Richard. He was such a sweet guy. We use to like to swap casino stories and what machines we won on and how much, and which casino had the best buffet. Loved the expression on his face when he realized who my sister was in line out Walmart one evening. Goodbye my friend.
Luciio was more than just our pest control person. He was our friend. Have never had a better person here since his illness. We have missed him . Have tried to keep in touch. He had a good spirit and was so caring. RIP Lucio. 😢 you were respected for your work ethic and your connection with your clients. Eddie and Kay Calhoun
