Having just heard about Nufo, I apologize for the delay in expressing my deepest sympathy to Nufo's family for their loss. He was a truly great friend and always made everyone smile. Although I had not seen Nufo for many years, he was never out of my thoughts. Please accept my condolences.

Nuf...
As I sit here tonight wondering, Why? My faith tells me that God needed you to spread some of your unforgetable laughter up in the heavens and decided it was time for you to come home.
You have some amazing friends...All of whom are going to miss you so so much! I always knew you had a special gift with people. Whether it was your ability to brighten up a room with your entertaining catchphrases followed by your contagious laughter or your simple emotion and passion you shared for the game of baseball.
You know something, as great as these characteristics were about you, I realized something today...these qualities you were blessed with were all by-products of a larger, greater love...A genuine and unquestioning love you had for your Family and Friends...and I was not suprised to see how many lives you truly touched and how many people were honored to call you an extraordinary and loyal friend.
As far as your Familia is concerned, that's easy my Brother! I can without question speak for all of us when I say that you will be missed immensely...your laughter will be thought about infinitely... and your big heart has touched us all permanently.
In so many ways I have always looked up to you---that will never change.
Godspeed Nufo, Godspeed!
Your Litte Bro,
Eddie Spaghetti
