sad goodbye

All of our little problems, our worries, our work and our everyday lives came into much sharper focus Sunday. Our entire crew learned with unspeakable sadness that we lost one of our own. Edgardo Ramirez, a two year Rigatony's staff member died of a heart attack on Saturday night. If you had walked through our kitchen you would have recognized him by seeing one of the hardest working people in the building with the biggest smile. His defining characteristic was that he was a joyful man, always happy, always laughing and a pleasure for everyone to work with. He was only thirty and he leaves behind a seven year old son Jair, a six year old son Jeremy, a two year old daughter Angelie and his wife Areli who is expecting their fourth child. No other words are needed beyond that and indeed none can express the shock and sadness for our crew and certainly for his family.

We are starting a collection for his family and if you wish to contribute we are accepting contributions in his name at the front desk at RigaTony's or by mail at;
