“It is with great sadness that we cannot be there for Fido’s funeral. He was an incredible human, kind and loving to all he met. His music left a lasting impression to the Youngstown community and far beyond as guitar just sang for others. He and Nin are pillars of the community and left a beautiful legacy to his children and grandchildren. Our deepest condolences from the Vázquez Seguinot family, Aida and children. May perpetual light shine upon Fiyo and may he Rest in Peace. Jeanie”
