DAV Hardware City Chapter 8 and the Golden Kielbasa Veterans Open mourn the loss of Major Ed Riccio, a true American hero. "Rick" was our 2014 honoree, and we well remember that day when we, and more than 250 people at Tunxis Plantation, had the great privilege to show our appreciation and respect. I fondly recall spending a good deal of time with Ed in his basement prior to GK 2014, as he told war stories and we went through boxes of photos and mementos. He was clearly proud of his service...

I would like to extend our condolences to the Riccio family. Although I didnt know Mr Riccio very well, I knew of his bravery displayed in the past wars and of his dedicated service to his country. I know his family loved him dearly which is really most important of all. Hold all of your memories close to your heart Eddie, our prayers and thoughts are with you.

As a young boy growing up in Bristol, I was drawn to the Amoco gas station on Rte. 6 with the airplane in the garage and became friends with Ed Riccio. He had a model of a visible P&W Wasp engine that operated so you could see how it worked. Later I worked at Pratt in Southington and rekindled my friendship with him. He was a great friend and teacher who will be truly missed. Rest in Peace old friend, You earned it.

Mr. Riccio, You were a kind and honorable man, who served his country and community, and loved his family and friends. I will miss you very much.
