Chico rest in peace our good friend.
We were fortunate to get to know you and share our time together.
We always look forward to our September fishing trip. You will be missed but we know you will be with us in Spirit.
Much love from the September Cannons fishing crew
I don’t use the word Friend lightly, but Chico was my Friend. We became friends immediately when he moved in next door. He would literally do anything for me and I for him. Rest in peace, Chico. I miss you already, and will forever. I’ll never forget you.

So sorry to hear of my long time friend Chico passing. We were best of friends back in the 60's on Pine St. We lost track of each other for over 55 years. But reunited two summers ago. The look in his face when I walked up to him at the Flea Market and told him who I was will live with me forever. I think he stood there for 30 seconds in disbelief. He said he too had wondered what ever happen to me. I am so thankful our mutual friend Fran Harrington let me know where to find him. I went back couple of times and sat with him. And came up to Baldwin a couple of times. I am some thankful I got to reconnect and he could meet my wife. And how much he talked about "Family". RIP my friend. I will never ever forget you. The times we had growing up. And the more recent times we just sat and chatted between customers. And that look in your face when I told you who I was. And shook your hand and the bear hug after 55+ years. RIP my friend. Deepest condolences too the Gomez family. Mike and Judy Stonex.. .
Chico was my brother's best friend growing up in the 60's. They were always together. If Bill wasn't at Chico's, Chico was at our house. He was one of our family and we were all upset when his family moved to California. I'm glad Chico and I reconnected when he came back to Michigan. Apparently, he turned into quite the cook, because he would text me pictures of the delicious dishes he'd made and invite me for dinner. I only wish we could have seen more of each other and I'm sad that I didn't get to say goodbye. I can imagine Chico and Bill up in heaven right know laughing about all the crazy things they did as kids and I'm sure he gave my mom a big hug too. You were a brother and a friend, and I will miss you.
