Sending all of you our prayers and deepest sympathies. While I did not know Mr. Riquelme personally, I know his son, and met his daughter. I know for sure he must have been a wonderful person given his children...and their wonderful children. There is clearly a lot of love and respect in the family... I hope all the wonderful memories of him wrap you in comfort when you need it most.

Our family is saddened by Mr. Riquelme's passing. We enjoyed knowing him and spending some time with him when he travelled to New Jersey.

We are so sad for our best friends, Rafael and Berna and Daniel and Lauren and Liz and Christopher. And in particular to Mrs. Riquelme.

Our love is for you and we are always there at your side. Love, Ken, Liza, Connor and Samantha
