Rigo,

I'm in shock to hear this news today.  We (along with my sisters) met Rigo in the late 80's.  He was truly a wonderful person.  He always kept in touch with us throughout the years, all the way through when he opened that restaurant and somewhere after that we all lost contact.  I'm really saddened to hear he's not here anymore but I know he's watching over this loved ones.  My condolences to his family!


Rigo,
It's been 20 years since we spoke last, but thru the years you crossed my mind because I held you in my heart.
We lost touch but your smile has never been forgotten. 
A gentleman a dancer a hard worker a father and a lover of Porsche and Bucs a friendly & kind human being.
And a frequent flyer to New Orleans where we met on a dance floor. 
I am so sorry to hear of your passing and I know you made an impact on the lives of so many!
You were so respected and loved.
I do miss you and I will keep your children in my prayers.
Rest peacefully  Rigo all my love Venessa
 

May you rest in peace my friend. I just got the news today. I know it's been a few years. We had some good times in New Orleans where we meet. Love you and will miss you!!

I worked at FedEx with Rigo for many years. He had a wonderful spirit and always greeted me with a warm smile. My sincerest condolences to Rigo's loved ones.

Unbelievable!  We worked many years together at FedEx and cherished your freindship.  I am so thankful that we reunited at the gym just this past year after many years.  You were a wonderful person with a a kind heart. My wife and I just heard of your passing today and our hearts are broken.  You are in a better place and may your family find strength to get through this difficult time.  You will be missed my freind......

We will always remember your beautiful smile and your kind heart...may you rest in peace dear Rigo. God be with you!

Rigo was indeed a great dancer. I also remember how he loved those boys when they were younger. Little Rigo and chadder bear. I remember how handsome he was and that beautiful smile! I remember he had been schooled as a Dentist and I would ask him about my teeth and he was very kind to me.

I remember Rigo working out in our garage and playing basketball at the church with me. He was cheerful and kind. 
"God be with you till we meet again"!

I remeber whe you ad Pam would be upstairs and my Dad, would yell at Pam for yall to come downstairs..You were always dressed so nice because you came straigh from your job at Maas Brother to see my sister. you will be missed and know that you were loved very much, Kiss my Mom and Dad for me when you see them. Love You, Melanie

I had some great memories of when you worked at Maas Brthers as a shoe saleman when you and my sister Pam were first dating, I am so sorry you had to suffer so much in the ed, you will be missed very muh. Love Melanie

Loving father and husband. You will be missed very much. We had some great times you taught me how to disco and salsa, how you loved to dance and great at it. Our marriage, time in the Domincan Republic, then came our children Rigo Jr and Chad. I'm so glad we remained friends through the years. Your daughter Raquel has been such an inspiration to us. We thank her for taking care of you and all that she has done and love her very much. 
I'm sure your parents and brother were anxiously waiting to embrace you and glad that you no longer had to suffer. You will always be in our hearts.
