Ricardo C. Munoz had a deep-rooted history of experiencing the world and its cultures. He traveled and performed with the Ballet Folcorico Nacional Aztlan de Mexico de Silvia Lozano and Ballet Nacional de Mexico touring Mexico and Europe. Bonham Academy received the remarkable opportunity to bring his knowledge, abilities and legacy to its students. Because of this, Mr. Munoz and Bonham Academy were among the first schools to teach Folclorico, its origins, and its traditions to multiple generations. His passion, experience, and sense of humor touched thousands of children and their families. As a model of our bi-cultural, bi-literate community at Bonham, he accepted students from all across San Antonio into his program. In addition to teaching at our school, he shared his passion by teaching at Sofia's Dance Studio, San Antonio Dance Academy, and Image Dance Company.

On Monday, November 28, 2022, Bonham's beloved Folclorico teacher of 15 years was hospitalized. On Friday, December 9, 2022, Mr. Munoz passed from this life and has entered into eternal life.

Mr. Munoz leaves Mr. Gary Dunlap, his partner, with medical bills, funeral expenses, and the social-emotional stress of losing a loved one.

We are asking our community to donate any dollar amount and share this link with as many people as possible. All proceeds will go directly to Mr. Dunlap in this time of need.

We genuinely appreciate your support in raising the money to assist Mr. Munoz. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Oralia Garcia
