Dear Nino, Well this is a stunner. Our hearts are sad that life overcame you at such an early age. I remember you when you were just a big eyed teenager. I thought life was going better for you since you went to Florida. You sure sounded good the last several times we spoke. We hadn't heard from you lately but knew one of your sons was coming to stay with you and thought you were busy. Farrah, Justin and Chad please know how saddened we are for you're loss. Your dad was a good hearted man and we'll miss him.

Nino loved his children, and came to understand how much his Father in heaven loved him. May the healing love of the Father fill his family and friends with that same awesome love.

My heartfelt condolences to Nino's family... Nino and I were best friends back in our high school days and years playing in the Surfers Drum and Bugle Corps. I am sure the world was a better place having had Nino and his unique personality for 57 years. He will be missed but never forgotten... til we meet again my friend.
