It's with immense sadness I announce the death of one of my best friends, Aldo Riggio, 55, of Santiago.
Aldo was a citizen of three countries: the DR, Italy & the U.S. Aldo was a veterinarian by profession, maybe the best in Santiago. He was a nationally recognized breeder of excellent Yorkies. He had a large clinic in Miami for years before moving back to Santiago after the death of his father. Aldo was also a entrepreneur, one of my riding buddies and a no-nonsense guy with a rapier wit.
Aldo's grandfather was one of the founders of the Aguilas del Cibao. Aldo served as a Director of the team, and his daughter was once the teams "madrina." He was the proprietor of La Lena, a VIP restaurant on the third base line at Aguilas games.
He died two weeks after bariatric surgery. Early cause is thought to be a thrombosis that reached his heart.
Very sad day for many in Santiago. The funeral will be Saturday.
