He was an advocate for at-risk youth, jo development programs, and was a steadfast champion for organized labor.
My condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren, staff and to all those lucky enough to call Richard a friend. Rest in Peace Supervisor Valle."Valle is the second member of the five-seat Alameda County Board of Supervisors to die in office in recent years.
