Very sad...
Wasn't he a partner with Jesse at Tres Virgenes Restaurant, too?
I hope Aldo's family find the strength to maintain with their great loss! Vaya Con Dios Aldo!

This is very sad / tragic. I remeber Xochitl passing away 3 years ago.

Wow, very sad news. As a mother with 2 young children, I can't imagine how those kids feel! My heart goes out to them. I hope there is family in La Paz for the boys. Heather

Absolute tragedy. Too young. I am so sorry.

DEP

Very sad news, I am so sorry to hear this. I had the pleasure of meeting him once when he came through Loreto. Thanks for letting us know so we can send good thoughts and energy to his children who need it now.

So sorry to hear this. I feel so bad for the young children and the family.

What a bummer:( The last communication I had from him was a U2U inviting me to the restaurant to collect on our last World Cup bet. I was looking forward to meeting him in person. I don't care about the Cazadores, I just wish this hadn't happened.

Bajahowodd - 12-16-2010 at 12:55 PM

Just have to feel so much pain for the kids. First, their mom, and now their dad. Tragic doesn't begin to describe it.

Any specifics on how this occured? I know he was diving.

DENNIS - 12-16-2010 at 06:02 PM

Thanks, Kate. It's a sad day for family and all.

twogringos - 12-16-2010 at 07:12 PM

We are absolutely in shock. Have known Aldo since 1998. He has always been friendly, helpful, reliable, but mostly someone that we really liked. We are treasuring a moment that happened on Tuesday morning when we said hello to him as we walked by him sitting outside at his favorite cafe near the city pier on Abasolo.

JESSE - 12-16-2010 at 07:36 PM

Well i am also surprised and shocked about the news. Even do our business togheter did not last, there was never any personal issues betwen us as he was a calm, hard working, smart, family man. Just a day before his dive, i ran into him in the supermarket and as usual, we looked at each other and aknowledge each other with a nod and smile. I am frankly concerned about the kids, loosing one parent is a big thing in a childs life, but loosing two in such a short time is very difficult.

My prayers go to him and his family.

May we add our condolenses to the children, family and friends...so tragic.

Gaucho - 12-16-2010 at 08:27 PM

Very sorry to hear this. What a tragedy for both the kids and the family. I hope the kids have some immediate family to rely on. I just can't imagine.

I love to freedive. I took a freediving course 2 years ago that really broke down and dissected not only the mental aspects of freediving but also the physiological changes that your body goes through when you really push your limits. I was middle of the pack at 87 feet on a single breath. There were guys going 115+ and this was an intermediate course! No less than 4 guys passed out from shallow water black out pushing their limits (it's very controlled and no one was hurt). I know Aldo had heart complications but it's a tricky sport and there are real dangers associated with it.

BajaBlanca - 12-16-2010 at 08:31 PM

DEP ciao Aldo. deveras muy triste.

Hook - 12-17-2010 at 08:45 AM

Didnt Aldo date back to the Amigos de Baja days? Or am I thinking of Fred's board?

In any event, it is said when someone so important to a family is taken from them so early. Whether it be the immediate family or the family that is the internet.

elgatoloco - 12-17-2010 at 11:19 AM

Sad news indeed. Condolences to family and friends.

We honeymooned in La Paz and ended up following a tip from Aldo on a dive boat run by friends of his. When we got to town and went to office to sign up he was there and ended up going out on the boat with us the next day. We got in the water with giant mantas and up close with whale sharks. Aldo talked to us about how much he loved La Paz and being in and under the water whenever he could.

We hope the best for his children.

Yes, Amigos de Baja (until it retired in 2003)...

I sure hope his kids are of age or else some family members from Italy comes for them.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and comments. I’ll save them as a future memory for his kids when they will be more mature.
My name is Alex, Aldo’s cousin from Italy, and I am here for a few weeks.
If anyone has any picture, story or additional thoughts to write about Aldo, I’ll be happy to receive them in order to add to a biographic collection which I am preparing for the kids. You can use directly my e-mail.
Sincerely,
Alex

DENNIS - 6-16-2011 at 11:54 AM

Thanks, Alex. We appreciate that.

David K - 6-16-2011 at 06:07 PM

Thanks for joining Nomad, Alex... Many of us have communicated with Aldo over the years on the Internet. Tragic how quickly life can end and the void leaves ripples in the universe of our lives.

Bob H - 6-16-2011 at 06:55 PM

Wow, very sad, he was so young. So sorry for the kids and his family!

BajaBlanca - 6-16-2011 at 07:24 PM
