I did not know Pablo very well, but from knowing Rose his wife I know that he was a loving husband, father and son. Always put them first in every situation. I am sorry that I did not get to spend more time knowing him as I know he was also a great friend. He will be surely missed by everyone he knows. I am sure that he is still amongst all his loved ones in spirit. God Bless

Pablo or “Nonino” as I called him, was my godfather, padrino hence the nickname of “Nonino”, my friend and a family member I will miss dearly, I can only imagine the pain, Lucy, Danny , ANTHONY and Toya must be going thru. I miss him today and will remember him tomorrow and always. He was my Nonino, and will always be remembered. A man with a heart of gold and always good humor, even when thing looked grim he put on a positive attitude and kept going. I miss you! Pepito

I met Pably when he was just15 ….he was best man at my wedding, for his cousin Pepe.
Through out the years we shared many family vacations and Sundays eating lots of Cuban food and laughing a lot, Pably was Godfather to my daughter Maria….We haven’t been in touch for many years, but I still love Pably, and always will. Rest in peace my cousin we’ll see each other again when Jesus returns..Besos….

Rose and family: pls accept the condolences of the extended Rodríguez family here in Iowa. Pablito was a great friend and lived life to the fullest. I will never forget how he helped me in my summer job when I was at Georgia Tech. Or when I was living in Los Angeles, how he got tickets to the 1982 Superbowl somehow!, flew out to LA, and took me to the game w/him. I join you in celebrating his life.

Gordi, tomorrow will be another challenging day for me and Monday will be our last challenge. I always said we are constantly being tested to see how much we can handle. I promise you I will be strong for you. I know you loved me as I loved you with unconditional love. I don’t think I would change anything we shared within our last 36 years together. I just wished you could stay a little bit longer. Rest assure, me, Danny and Anthony will be ok. Rest my love. NO MORE HEADACHES NO MORE PAIN. I will love you forever in my heart. ♥♥♥Your China♥♥♥

Pably, It was wonderful to have you as part of our family & casino partner. You picked up the “important” Chinese phrases, which always added a bit of humor to any conversation. We won’t forget the Hot Dog games & you calling “POT!” Nor, will we forget your delicious lechon asado & black beans. Glad you did it your way & got to walk a part of the Vegas strip one last time. We’ll keep the memories we share in our hearts forever.
Love,
Lana, Karen & Jose Paisano

A year will be here in a few days. Everyday has been challenging to get through. We miss you deeply. You were our ROCK. Yes, you were right. “I don’t know what I have until I loose it” I planned a Sunday mass for you with your friends and my friends with lunch at your favorite restaurant. Romeau’s. I even made a video for you which I hope the restaurant can play for us. Until I see you one day. I love you mi amor.
