Mr. Rio was a truly gifted and special person. He was smart, funny, talented, insightful and warm. Although I grew up on Wildwood drive, my wife and I met Mr. Rio a few years ago. We enjoyed sitting with him and listening to his stories about growing up in NYC (especially the automats!), and the other adventures of his life. His clocks and the other woodworks that he made were all works of a gifted soul. We will truly miss his humor, wit and amazing stories. We want to extend our condolences to the family and all who were fortunate enough to meet him.
