Dear Anne,
I want to offer my condolences to you and all the family.
I remember my visit 2015 to your and Rigo’s home and what a lovely Italian dinner we all enjoyed.
Also your and Rigo’s visit to Canada 1992 on your 25 wedding Anniversary, together with your Scottish/Canadian cousins we had a great gathering. George’s and I then visited Scotland July of 1992 to celebrate our 25 wedding anniversary . Rigo contributed his delicious garlic bread that evening to our celebration, all happy memories we will never forget.
Rigo is now enjoying his well deserved just rewards and will be taking care of you Anne and all the family. Rigo was remembered Easter Tuesday morning Mass by our Pastor Fr.Gabriel Chinnaperiannan at St. Charles Garnier Parish in Kelowna,B.C. Canada . 🙏⛪️ Fondest love Patsy.

Dear Anne and family

We are so very sorry to hear the terribly sad news. Rigo was a wonderful person - a real gentleman - and we will remember him with great fondness. A brilliant Math teacher who’s books were truly inspirational. Rigo will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

Our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to you and to all the family. Our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time -

Grazia Biagi, Willie Gibson and family.
