Nicholas Robert Torrico

Thinking of you more than ever today. You are alive in my heart. May you and Phil be at peace...

Been thinking about you lately. It's been over one year now. I really miss you. Just wanted you to know that you aren't forgotten. In fact, I think about you all the time.

I knew Nick for only a very short time since I was older and moved away when he was in second grade. I remember when the public school teachers went on strike and a bunch of us kids picketed outside Blaine to start school. Nick held up a sign that said " I want to start my first day of school." I will never forget him waving at the cars as they came by. I was sorry to hear your news. I just remember what cute picture he made waving at the cars.

Nicky, my cousin, I will never forget you. We practically came into this world & our family together. It feels so unnatural that you're not here.

Torrico family...
So very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. I remember many a slumber party at your house, and the joy of all the kids voices echoing. May your memories be a comfort in this sad time.

I will forever remember my cousin Nicky Bob. The memories from our childhood will be etched in my memory forever. He will be greatly missed. I only wish I had more time to get to know him as an adult. Rest in Peace, Nick. I love you!

Nick, I will always remember your smile. I remember when I first met you, how you stood out amongst the rest. You were so brilliant, so thoughtful... It's hard to think of growing up without thinking of a memory of you. Even as a child, you had such a fascinating understanding of the world. I feel blessed to have been a part of your life, and wish deeply that it was not so brief.

To the Torrico family, my heart goes out to you during this time. I will miss Nick's delicate approach to conversation, and the way his eyes would light up when he smiled. Nick was truly and angel and I will never forget him.
