    Mo Razik With misty eyes, I raise a glass to you my colleague, Tico. I have known you for over 20 years as we both owned wine stores in Winnipeg. You were a fierce competitor, but also mentored me and worked with me and all other wine stores’ owners to form a strong Industry Association. You were a brother to all of us, you laughed when I called you “The King of Chile” but the truth is, you were the King of so many other things in our lives. Rest in peace my colleague, my friend, and my brother, Tico. Mo

    Working at PFW and the winehouse was always fun but my favourite memories of Tico were Monday nights during football season. Cracking bottles, a decadent spread, and a little gambling. The emphasis always on friendship and laughter the game itself never much mattered. Tico's generosity and joie de vivre were infectious. 🙏

    Karen Cornejo Memory from Simon Hiebert. Tico had the opportunity to spend a few hours on this magnificent 91 meter yacht with Dennis Washington. This $250,000,000 yacht known as Attessa lV is frequently seen parked here in Puerto Vallarta. Tico told me that Mr Washington said on Twitter that anyone who was following him on Twitter and in Puerto Vallarta were welcome to come on-board for cocktails and a tour of the boat. Sadly Tico told me about this opportunity after and not before he went. It’s on Rosie’s bucket list to step onto this gorgeous boat. Google Attessa lV for awesome photos. Cheers Simon
