Antonio Ricardo passed away at the age of 78 on May 2, 2023 in Jacksonville, Florida after a courageous battle with cancer. 

The youngest child of 8, he is the cool and groovy father, uncle, grandfather in the clan. A good communicator, whether delivering Toastmaster’s speeches or just talking over a cup of his favorite coffee, he can charm anyone and win friends easily. He has touched so many lives and will be forever missed.

He had a good career as a Certified Public Accountant and a voracious reader. 

For recreation, he enjoyed tennis, gardening and a good round of cards.

He is survived by his 4 children: Lillibeth, Steve Anthony, Rich Carl and Kristian and 5 grandchildren:  Antoinette, Ariane, Isabella, Aaron and Carlyn.  He is also survived by his sister, Remy and brother, Ed.
