To The Figueras family,
I was lucky enough to have Chico work with me after his retirement. He was one of the best staff members I was lucky enough to work with who had a special way with people. We always shared so many laughs during the day and Chico was such a special person. After work getting to share a card game of pitch where the fun truly started....I would take Chico any time as a partner and win or lose with Chico it was always fun. Watching him get upset with a bad play was hysterical but he would get so mad.....a special person is in heaven probably trying to get God as his pitch partner....rest in peace my friend!

Dear Figueras family,
The memories we have growing up with your family... Card nights with us kids falling asleep playing Atari, The "Right to Life" tennis tournaments, delivering Newspapers-remember that!, Chico or Maddy would drive us... Always tons of food to eat, always laughing with the Figures family, coolest Mom & Dad around! Chico kept the most amazing lawn, so prideful! We Toupin's love you Figueras's.... You were always a second family to us... So many more memories I have.... I do not believe I can remember even one time Chico getting mad at us kids, never yelled, never told us to be quiet, just loved having his home open to all friends and family.... We always felt welcome... He will be missed.... Saying "sorry for your loss" simply does not cover my feelings... We are all truly so sad..... Love, Kim xo

My deepest condolences go out to the entire Figures Family. Chico should be very proud of the Family he created and loved. Family was his passion. I don't think there was an athletic contest he missed that involved his children. Always present and always supportive. Keep close your memories you have of him and that will keep his spirit alive forever. Rest in Peace Chico.
