To Vetrana, Nancy and Wayne, Rico will remain in my heart forver. I am so fortunate to have been able to care for him and to have met such a wonderful and loving family. I will never forget his quick humor, the smile that you knew when he was up to no good, and the way his eyes lit up when he spoke of his wife and family. I will hold forever the stories he told me and the heart he opened up to me. You all are very near and dear to me, my thoughts and prayers are with you all today and will be every day.

I just recently met Rico at the Blackstone Dialysis Center, what a great man! We spoke about Norfolk, VA where he was stationed on a ship. As it turned out, I grew up in the Norfolk, Va. Beach area. My wife brought baked goodies for us once and a while and Rico loved her cooking! When he did not show up this past Wednesday I just knew someting had happened. I will miss him, so long my friend. With our sincere sympathy to the entire family.
