He married Tabitha in 1977, and they had three children: Ashly Elizabeth, Richard Jr. (Richie), and Isaiah Silvestre.
Most people call him pastor, which he considers a term of endearment, and after thirty-eight years of marriage to Tabitha, he considers himself the luckiest man in the world.
During their years of pastoring, Richard and Tabitha were associate pastors in Escondido, built the church in Mendota, and established a new church in Bonita. They retired in 2012 due to various health issues.
His experience in ministry has not been through formal education like the seminary but rather through the school of hard knocks or, in the simplest terms, a lot of trial and error. Richard has felt from God that he should present a blue-collar spiritual approach to life in both his commentaries and memoirs. He asserts that this work is not meant to be fancy or elaborate but instead a practical, no-nonsense, commonsense approach to the challenges of life, both great and small.view less
