Tito was a wonderful friend for 20 years.  We met through our work at Static. He was always so kind and helpful, funny and ready with words of encouragement. We shared a love of basketball and our children. It was an honor to hear your heartfelt words today at the beautiful service.  I am so thankful I got to know him and it’s so unimaginable that he is no longer with us.  I have kept you all in my prayers and will continue to do so.   Sincerely, Angela Buchholz

My deepest condolences to your family and your friends. I haven't known you long, but what an honor to have gotten to know you, your humor, your smiles and endless energy and your love for your family, for sports, sneakers and your employees. I miss you, Tito! Heartfelt hugs to your sons that you have been so proud of and your wife. Wishing them all the strength to get through this hard time.

When I received the call I was in awe he had just posted a couple hours ago ….I’m still in awe and sadness I haven’t seen Tito in many years we’ve been following each other on social media for a couple of months. It brought great joy and proudness to see all his accomplishments and how he had become a great husband and dad! He will be missed dearly and will forever be in our hearts🙏🏽

I didn’t have the chance to meet Tito face to face. Just FaceTime as Ricardo/Mika wanted us to meet. I now have seen videos and pictures and so much love. I know it would have been a good time in the same room with him…So family hold on to the memories, in that you’ll feel his love. And speak his name frequently there won’t always be pain.  Remember that pieces of him, in you do remain. 

When I saw the post online I could not believe it .
Sending my sincere condolences and love to your family .

Carina Snell and family .

I’ve picked up my phone my phone several times in the past days to write this message and have come up blank. There is so much I want to express and not enough words to express them with. Reading all the messages here, IG, FB ect….. just reaffirms what we all already knew, you were AMAZING!!! Son,Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle ….. the list is endless you will truly be missed, but your legacy will live long in our hearts and minds. You’ve earned your wings lil bro I love you and you take a chunk of my heart with you 💜

I would like to send my deepest condolences to Tito’s family.  I pray that you are able to be comforted each day.  God Bless

Sincerest Regards,

To Tito's Family,
I loved your son,  your brother,   your husband,  your cousin,  your Uncle like he was my own brother.   He was the only person in my liffe that I knew that had such  a strong work ethic, loyalty, kindness toward others,   love for the Lord,   a strong family man and finally a great friend.     He always had my back through thick and thin and helped me through the death of my Mother.  I knew with him in my corner,  I could not fail.  Due to prior obligations,  I cannot attend my dear friends service on Sunday,  but make no mistake my heart and soul will be there.     Rest in peace, dear Tito and to Ana,  Aaron,  Amari and all of Tito's family,  anything,  any time,  I promise you I will be there.    Much love and prayers that the Lord hold you close during this hard time.      
Love,   Karen Webb

#twining - that was our thing; he was the funniest guy full of energy and can do attitude. I can't believe 3 weeks ago we were talking about him buying some new burgundy pants and how his sons were doing (that he was extremely proud of) and now he's gone. He was an inspiration with his optimistic and sunny disposition and a kind smile always on his face. His kindness made all of us at work feel better as well. He definitely made an impression, at least on me; I will think of him fondly, remembering the good times. The world truly lost an amazing person on September 4th. My condolences to the family, as I know you feel his loss the most. 

Francisco, "Tito" was a great human being. He was one of the best bosses I ever had. He was fair to everyone. Funny, smart,  just the best person to be around. Even though we had not worked together in a while, I kept up with him, through his post letting everyone know his son's was his pride and joy . You will be missed my friend . Rest in Heaven, I know that is where you are. Gigi

Dear Little Brother,
I will miss you with all of my heart. A void has been left in my life. For 48 years, God has given me the privilege and joy to love you and be loved by you. You will be missed. I will forever honor your name. Your wife and children will forever be loved and protected by me.  R.I.P.
Your Big Brother

From Carla Drake Serrano and family our prayers and thoughts are with you in this difficult moment praying that the Lord will give you the strength that you need and to find the peace Tito was a very wonderful young man I have very fun memories of him when he was a little kid I always thought beautiful smile may he rest in peace

Tito, I cannot believe you are gone, never in a million years would I have expected to outlive you my friend.... You were one of the first people I met at Static, and always made me laugh, even when I didn't feel like laughing. So many memories.... but always a great friend. The one memory that always stick out, is when Lorraine asked you to walk me to my car as protection from the guy I broke up with, you volunteered but then when April told you he looked like a UFC fighter, you went into "I'll be your hairdresser friend, he wouldn't hit that guy right?" 😁 then proceeded to act like my hairdresser.... You are a great father, brother, son, uncle, friend, and my heart breaks for your family to lose such a wonderful man so early. May you rest in peace, and watch over your family and friends until we all join you one day.... 

Sending my sincere condolences and love to your family . Praying that God will wrap you all in His arms and provide you with the comfort that you need.

My beloved cousin tito although you are my cousin I have always looked up to you as a big brother. you were always there for me when no one else cared to be. that was just the kind of genuine and caring person u were. A man who would sacrifice himself for the people he cared about. You would trade your good day for my bad ones in a heartbeat and because of that,  I am forever indebted to you . I am so heartbroken that it is your time to go but I strongly believe you are  just making another sacrifice. God bless you and rest in heaven king.           Love Ruben 

Our deepest condolences goes out to the family! 

Love you, Tito The Thin Man! 🙏🏾❤️

My condolences and prayers to the family and friends. Praying God will carry you all through and may Tito’s legacy and memories keep your spirits lifted forever within your hearts.🌹🕊

T, 

Words cannot describe how I feel right now. I am gutted, and all I hear is silence and all I see is emptiness. You were my other half for 48 years. You were my wonder twin. 

The only thing that overshadows the pain is the memories and the love we shared for those years the lord blessed us with your presence. I wouldn’t change that for anything. We laughed together, cried together, fought each other as kids :0) and all that did was strengthen our bond as twin brothers.

You motivated me and inspired me in ways you’ll never know. You were THE BEST FATHER I have ever seen in my life. You also were an amazing uncle to all your nieces and nephews. You showed Imani, Andre and Abby nothing but pure love and they loved their Uncle Tito so much. More importantly, you were an amazing person, brother and mentor to Aaron and Amari. I also have never seen a couple more in love than you and Ana. I told you many times that I wish I had what you had…again, you made it special. 

I will forever miss our talks, your jokes, your presence, your brotherly love, and your constant push to be a better version of yourself. I will always keep your memory fresh in my life and will be talking to you here and there for even though you are not here in the flesh, you’re with me in spirit until I come and join you and we could talk about how the Knicks still suck ;0)

Rest In Peace to my A1 from Day 1, and don’t worry, we’ll be here to support Ana, Aaron and lil Amari. 

I love you with every fiber of my being!!🥹

Til we meet again bro 😌

Dre. 🫂



Easter 1998, One of THE BEST uncles my children were blessed to have. Love you Uncle Bebo ♥️

You will always be apart of me and
 hold a special place in my heart! We wanted to do so much and you always told me we got time. I wish God could redeem the time Bestie. Words can not express how much I miss you. You were a blessing to so many.  One if the finest and best dressed brothers I knew. The world will never be the same. It gives me comfort to know that I'll see you again someday friend.

Take your rest,
Pat

My work brother my Fayetteville state university brother. I will deeply miss you. You kept my head on straight at work while we were stressed. We always talked about homecoming at Fayetteville state and always bought shoes lol.  I will miss you brother.

Greetings to my brother & friend Ricardo Phillips & family.  I would like to send my sincere prayers and condolences in the passing of your beloved brother. May God grant to each of you comfort and peace during your time of bereavement.   Please know that I am praying for you as well as with you in these times.  

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed because His compassions fail not. Great is thy faithfulness.

Francisco, I remember when my daughter Jennifer and her family moved in and we were all unpacking the u-haul, you and your wife and son were the first to walk over, introduce yourselves and welcome them to the neighborhood. Of course my husband felt he knew you and already liked you before you came over thanks to your NY GIANTS sticker he saw on your car. My grandson, Eli, loved running up and talking to you every time he saw you.  And, I'm sure you can see from where you are that he now runs to your brother thinking it's you and with a big smile says hi Mr. Francisco. I get choked up every time I think about you being gone. You are so missed. You have a wonderful family looking out for your wife and son at this most devastating time. Please find comfort that as time goes on, there are really caring people in the neighborhood who will reach out and help in any way they can with your family. RIP

Condolences, Thoughts and Prayers to the Family.

You were an amazing man! Your positivity and light would brighten my darkest days when I'd feel inadequate, unloved and unworthy. Friend, encourager, cheerleader, colleague, inspiration and my heart. If your friend brings you closer to Jesus, keep them! You're irreplaceable, I miss you tremendously. Love you forever! Till we meet again! I'm going to miss you!

We are so very sorry for your family's loss. Mr. Francisco was a favorite on our street and our girls always loved to stop and chat with him. He was always so caring and interested to hear about their days. Francisco was always so proud to share news of his sons, and always asked after my parents who live out of state. He was such a wonderful, kind man and we will all miss him. 

Our thoughts and love are with you.

The Harrison family 

We are so sorry for your loss. We are heartbroken for your family and will keep you in our prayers.
My sons always loved running to the top of our front yard to say hello and talk to Francisco. I'm so thankful for his patience while they talked his ear off. He will be greatly missed.

My family and I would like to send our sincere condolences to the Phillips family.  Rest easy BKOG.
