James Rio

Hubba was a major part of my whole life. From the time I was born till the time he left us he was always there. He listened to my joyful news as well as my tales of woe. He celebrated with me and consoled me. He advised me and corrected me. He was my Hubby and I miss him so terribly much. I know I will see him again and that gives me a lot of comfort...but it's still very hard not to be seeing him every day as I have for about the last 15 years. I love you Hubba.

Hubba was simply the best man I have ever known. He was my grandfather, my compadre', my mentor, and teacher. He will be missed a lot by all who knew him and especially by those who were lucky enough to be part of his family. The hole left by Hubba's passing can never be filled, but at least I can rejoice in my memories of him and the knowledge that he lived "like there's no tomorrow".

Dear Michelle and Karen,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Uncle Jim, You will be missed greatly by the Farmosa's we enjoyed the times we spent at your home on Podunk Road and sharing Thanksgivings with the whole extended family and the talks we had at the end of our driveway as you went for your walks... We Love you and Miss You... Bob & Marion

Hubba,
I'll miss seeing you sitting on the Flandreau's "old homestead" porch next door to our "homestead". You were part of my life growing up and I'll miss you! You were a sweetheart!
Love, Carol

We will truly miss our Brother Jimmy. Thank you for your lifelong support of Hayden Lodge.

Uncle Jim,

I’ll miss the conversations we had sitting at Aunt Ann’s table, hearing the three of you Abuelo (Peter), Aunt Ann, and you reminisce about the old days in Spain and your earliest memories of America. Like the time that your older sisters cut your hair off to sell to a man in Perlio, Spain to be used on a statue in town. Ann said you had the most amazing hair as a child. I know the candy they bought with the proceeds was worth it! I have a few pieces of Uncle Jim’s handy...

Jimmy, We will always remember your smile, you were one in a million and will be sadly missed by all.
