Dear Family, Friends, and the Philippine Swimming Community,
It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of our beloved colleague, mentor, and friend, Coach Richard Gonzales Luna.
On behalf of Finis PH and the ASCA PH Swim Coaches, we extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family and loved ones.
We were truly blessed to work side by side with him for many years, officiating the Finis Swim Championship Series (long and short course), Palarong Pambansa, and Batang Pinoy. His dedication, expertise, fairness, and warm spirit left a lasting impact on Philippine swimming and inspired us all.
Richard’s legacy will live on through every swimmer and official he touched. May God grant him eternal peace and comfort his family during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy and gratitude,
Coach Vince
Finis ASCA Coaches
