Sweet Enrique.... I worked as his assistant for 7 years. My first job in OB/Gyn. I loved being his right hand person in the clinic. I would wonder why he wasn´t seeing the next patient only to find him on the phone calculating how much his sticks had risen overnight. He was such a sweet and kind man. I shared my lunch with him often. He did have a twinkle in his eyes, always. I went to lunch with him a couple of years back and it was so fun to see him. He was a class act and I will never...

I am so very sorry to hear of Dr.DeCastro´s passing. What a Lovely, class act. I worked with him for well over 30 years at Good Sam and could hear him humming a little hum down the hall before I could see him.He had a certain joy and light that not many people possess. I know he had a strong faith and hope it gave him comfort as he transitioned. So much Love and solace to his Loving family. It was a true honor to know your Dad and grandfather.

I remember Rick from the days before computers, when we who delivered and cared for babies at Good Sam were all close colleagues and friends, interacting not only professionally, but chatting casually and sharing stories. Rick was always an affable, fine gentleman, as well as a superb clinician. As the years went by, I had pleasure of getting to know some of his children, and learned how devoted and proud he was of his family as well. I am deeply sorry for your loss, but we, his...

I have some wonderful memories of working with Rick in the Pilates Studio at the MAC. He was always so funny and so capable! He was an inspiration to all of us!

I am so sad to read of Dr DeCastros passing! He was a true gem and delivered my daughter 49 years ago. I'll always remember how he brought me flowers after my daughter was born. He was my best doctor for years and I'll always remember his handsome face and smile May he rest in peace.

I´m saddened to hear of Dr. DeCastro´s passing. He was my favorite doctor and alway enjoyed his whistling outside the door to let you know he was there. His smile and twinkling blue eyes alway put you at ease as well as asking question on family or what trips we had been on. When he retired I missed him but I´m happy to hear he had many fun years ahead to spend with family and friends! My prayers are with you all. You have a wonderful father.

I worked for Dr deCastro years ago. I remember him as always positive and upbeat. His patients adored him! Condolences to the devastating family.
