“Greetings everyone, My cousin Ric Romo who is pictured on the right in the recent photograph below, next to my sister Corinne Ríos Pérez died last night or yesterday from a massive heart attack. It’s all so sudden and unexpected for our family.
For those who would be interested. NBC NEWS will be having a tribute to Ric, his service and tenure at NBC where Ric was an executive producer for NBC NEWS tomorrow Monday morning 06/28/2021 @ 08:30 am on the “Today Show.” That would be on Channel 4 for those who receive Los Angeles Broadcasting. If you reside else where you may check for the NBC “Today Show” on your local listing for the time and channel in you area. Our family is in shock over this tremendous and very unexpected loss, but we appreciate very much receiving everyone’s solicitude and condolences. The hurt and pain of losing a beloved family member that was seemingly healthy and asymptomatic is incredulous, overwhelming, and inconceivable. It’s too early to pass on any funeral arrangements. I will pass on that information as soon as I am aware of them. Again, thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and condolences. – Gilbert Ríos”
