Richard’s paternal grandfather was Antonio Atayde Gutierrez, Jr. (the son of Antonio María Rogelio Gutiérrez del Campo and María Paz Victoria García y Atayde, or María Paz Victoria García Atayde in Filipino). Richard’s grandfather Antonio was born in Santa Mesa, Manila, Metro Manila.

Richard’s grandmother Mary was born in Tondo, Manila, Metro Manila. Richard’s great-grandfather John was a Canadian of English and Scottish descent, who was born in Ontario, the son of Andrew Pickett and Mary Ann McLaren.
