You have trained this old doc well and I will be forever greatful for your patience in getting me from "baa" to "woof". Rest well my friend!

Till we meet again.........

Enrico; a man who gave himself to the community and to those who had the privilege of working or training with him.

He is still giving. I can still see the smile and hear his voice. His positive attitude was and will continue to be an inspiration.

The only comfort I can find in loosing you is in knowing of your faith and knowing that you are now at the right hand of our maker. You now know the peace we all hope to find. Rest well Brother, we will keep an eye on the sheep.

God bless you and thank you, Enrico, from all of us.

My brother, My friend, God has called you home to watch over all of us here. You will be missed and always remembered, Rest in peace, soar with the eagles your work is done and we will carry on for you.

Enrico enriched the lives of all those who worked and trained with him. His loss will be felt throughout the region, and will his memory will remain embedded in the hearts of those that had the opportunity to serve with him. God Bless his family in their time of trial.

Enrico, you were a rare commodity in this old world - a genuinely nice, caring and loyal person. I am glad to have known you and called you friend. You'll be missed buddy.

If you were to look up the word smile in the dictionary no definition would be needed. Just include a picture of JR and the word would be easy to understand.

We're going to miss you friend.

With a broken heart, I'd simply like to share with you that I've had the distinct honor of knowing "J.R.", personally and professionally for many, many years. My girls buddied around with he and his Sisters when they were all still kids. J.R. is from a wonderful, wonderful family that is committed to making life better for other people thru their many, many acts of selfless mercy. His father is a wonderful physician and politician who exemplifies courage as he steps up, and steps out to make our community a healthier place for us all to live. J.R. had a tremendous mentor in his "POP".

Enrico Jr. had the ability and the resources to be anything in the world that he wanted to be and he chose a path where he committed his entire life to serving the best interest of other people! God had bestowed him with a calling to be a servant to his community, his family, and other people. He had a dynamite smile. the most gentle spirit you could ever imagine, and he was never bashful about sharing his Love for our Lord with you. He loved life and he loved his work! His hard work, professionalism, and selfless contributions to Task Force 7 has contributed to fostering an Emergency Services Organization for our wonderful State that is now being immulated by other States. His wonderful spirit and memory will live on forever leaving behind a terrible void.

I'd like to lift J.R., his wife and children, his entire family, his countless numbers of friends, and the Task Force 7 group, up in prayer with you.

Father God, I lift all of these wonderful people up to You in prayer and I ask simply that You shower them with Your wonderful peace, kindness, gentleness, and Your mercy. As they walk thru this valley, I ask that you especially draw J.R.'s family closer together in their love for each other, as you draw them closer to you in your love for them. We thank You for the wonderful blessing that You touched our hearts and lives with in Enricho Garcia, Jr., and we ask for Your continued protection around each of them. Keep Your heavenly angels posted at their every step and every breath and may they know that they are right where You want them to be in life as "J.R." did!

Stand long in the showers of God's wonderful grace "Little Buddy!" We love you and we're going to miss you terribly!

JR was the guy I looked forward to working with and being around. I always learned alot just by being in his presence. He will be sadley missed.

See ya brother...Rest in Peace.
