Not sure what to say?

George will be deeply missed. He was a kind and generous soul. His talents were unsurpassed in his craftmanship of fine saddles. I am truly grateful for his support when I was Miss Rodeo Arizona. May God grant the entire Rios family peace and comfort during this time.

To the Rios Family,

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your family's patriarch.
I remember him as a kind and generous man with a great sense of humor.
I have no doubt he will be greatly missed.
Take heart, our Lord will look after him now.

On behalf of the Dominguez family, our deepest sympathies,
Martin Dominguez

To the Rios Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Know that he is in heaven with my nina. I have so many memories growing up when you all were our neighbors. He was a great man. He took so much pride in the work he did creating saddles, I would love when he would take me and Georgie to the shop on some Saturdays and we would always get in trouble. I send you all my prayers through this tough time.

A great patriarch of a great family. My first neighbors in Arizona and wonderful loving family. Mr. Rios was a true artisan in a world where artisans have become rare. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rios Family. I take comfort in knowing Mr. Rios is reunited with his wife and that their love will endure in heaven. God now has the greatest Saddle Maker this world has ever seen. I'm certain Mr. Rios will continue his craft in his Kingdom.
God Bless, with love...Danny Sabo
