Please accept my deepest condolences. Canio was such a special person, and he will be deeply missed. I have a lot of funny memories from working with Canio years ago, especially when we used to plant tulips! I am so sorry I cannot be there to honor him with you, but you are in my thoughts."

My condolences to the Vérrico family. Mr. Verrico was very helpful to me and many younger landscaping contractors. He encouraged me to start a business and was helpful along the way. I was always appreciative of it.
