Brink and I were so sad to hear of Fabio's passing. He was such a good man and loved Georgia and his family so much. We had not seen him for years and our paths crossed. It was as if time had stood still and we all were so happy to see each other. Hugs to Georgia and his family.

We cannot express the deep sadness and loss we feel at the passing of our great friend. We will never forget Fabio and all the memorable times we shared with him and Georgia over many years of friendship - holidays, family events and many trips to the "Taj Mahal".

He was a true friend and will be missed but never forgotten!

Our deepest sympathy to Georgia and Family,

Charlie and Karen Schibler
