Sad news, indeed. Cry

Our friend Ricky hasn't posted here for years but many of us knew and loved him. Some had even meet him. He was a CH activist, if you will, and worked very hard in several organizations as a sufferer and dedicated supporter of his CH friends around the world.

He was one of us. He was one of you.

Our deepest sympathies to his family.

Most Sincerely,
Jackie

We heard about this sad news by his girlfriend Natascia, she's from Russia and she doesn't speak Italian or English. So for us it's impossible right now to know what's happen to our dear friend Riccardo. Sorry I can't express myself better because I feel really bad. Zaira

Zazi, it's OK. Smiley

This just all seems so hard to come to terms with. I can still picture him in Vancouver at the hotel giving me greetings in the morning while we were having breakfast.

I also think of the times he'd call out of the blue just to say hello and see how I and my family were doing.

I'm going to miss him real bad.

my love to all who's heart is torn right now. Cry

I was just looking at his pics from Vancouver and can still see him having so much fun there with Pierra, Davide and Stefan. I still have that CD he gave out too. This is such a shock, he was still a young man!

Jackie just called and told me. It is really sad. Riccardo was a great guy. Funny that man could make me laugh. I can still hear him laughing, he had a beautiful laugh. I remember when he came to Atlanta at the convention and we invited him to our house for dinner. We were all sitting around the table and my cat walked into the room, this cat was big. Riccardo looked at the cat then back at us and said " Do you eat cat?" We laughed and told him no LOL. I also remember some great support he gave me and so many wonderful things he did here for us all.
Our lost but heavens gain...he will be singing in their choir there. He will never have another cluster !

Miss ya my friend. Cry

Rest in peace My Friend.

Riccardo will be so missed Mast
