So Long, Riki.

A friend just passed away. He died of severe damage at the left side of his brain (hematoma), after having a stroke around 29 hours prior.

Years ago, I told Moongirl if I ever get married I’d make Riki one of the principal sponsors for my wedding. Because he’s one of the only geeks above the age 40 that I know. And he was a really good man.

So here’s to you, Ricardo Rodolfo Rafael Roxas Sunico, the coolest grown-up friend I know. You will be missed.

My thoughts go out to his family, friends and girlfriend Reitch.

    Argh! I don’t remember that. He’s a perfect choice, though.

    Bye Riki.

    Riki sounds like an awesome awesome guy. Too bad I didn’t get the privilege to meet him.

    Say hi to the Big Guy, Riki.

    Thank for the nicest compliment about my brother, Ricky. I’m sure he would have obliged being ninong if he had been around for your big event. Thank you too, for the loyalty and friendship that you’ve had for him. It’s comforting to know how many lives he touched. You’re one of the few people who knew his whole name. I don’t even remember the “Rodolfo” ever being part of his name. That was our father’s name. Many thanks. Live long and prosper. -Kelly Sunico Koken
