Americo "Rico" DiPetrillo Jr.

Of all the memories that I have of my Uncle Rico...the one thing I will miss the most is not being able to hear his loud, scratchy voice yelling "Hey sweetheart!" just before the big bearhug...I love and miss you Uncle Ricky!

Uncle Alan, and whole family,
I am so sorry to hear about Rico. I was so shocked to hear. He was a great person. My prayers are with you all. I know how hard it is to lose someone dear to your heart. Just remember, he will always be with you looking down! If you need anything I am here!

Dearest Nadine,Children and my Cousins', Saundra, Georgianna & Alan,

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I remember visiting Uncle Rico and Auntie Evelyn's beach house in Coventry, RI where Ricky would try so hard to get me and my sister Linda up on water skiis. We all laughed and cried, but I never made it, Linda did.

My thoughts are fond ones of the great families we all shared together long ago. Rico, give our love to all our parents' and grandparents', I'm sure...

Uncle Rico.You were not only my Uncle but, my second father.You always knew when i was upset or needed to cry.Now i am crying from the pain of losing you.You always made me smile and laugh.Even though you loved to yell at me and Kellie.I have so many wonderful memeories with you.You asked Sean and I that day in my house to look over your children.Uncle they will always be looked over by family and friends!I always looked forward to seeing you at the camp every weekend and when i went their...

Rico,
You will be sadly missed, my brother. You will never be forgotten, never forsaken. We will do our best to look after your loved ones. See you at the big one.

We buried our brother, and still ask why, his life was cut short, no answers have I. We stood at attention, and saluted all day, trying not to cry, to that end there was no way. Now the service has ended, the chapel has gone dark, and of my friend Rico, I will miss his spark. For I will always remember his daunting smile, or a COUPLE TWO TREE jokes, that made me laugh for awile. So rest in peace my friend, and take comfort in the fact, that we will always remember, and always look back.

To My Uncle Allan Aunt, cousins and Ricos family and friends,

I only got to meet Rico a few times, what I remember about him is the sense of humor he had. I know my cousins spoke of him allot while we where growing up, and I knew him to be one of thier favorite relatives. He brought many smiles and a sense of security to those he met. I know the way this happened was not fair, and nobody was prepared. I know god must of had something pretty important in mind for him. Someday we will...
