Phil & Sherrill:  We tried to contact you personally, to no avail.  We are so sorry about Nino.  It was shocking to read about it in the paper.  Nothing can adequately extend our sympathies to you.  We hope that in time you will be able to deal with Nino's loss.
                                            C. W. & Margaret Lartigue

Dear Friend, I am sorry to hear of your passing! Whats comforting to me is to know one of our last conversations was about Christ. I know you're home with our Father. Your probably singing to him. I love you and know that you're truely missed! Keep shining and smiling!

Negri family, I am sorry to hear this news.  Know we are praying for you all. What a wonderful way to celebrate his life with a KISS memorial.

 Although I have never met Nino we obviously had some common interests. May you rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to his family.

My deepest sympathy to the Negri Family & Friends.  Although I never met Nino I know that he will be sadly missed by all of you.  May Nino rest in peace.

Iam so sad to hear of Nino's passing.  Although we hadn't crossed paths recently, he was a dear friend of mine in high school.  I will always remember his kindness, generosity, and good nature.  I will keep your family in my prayers.  If you are interested i can email you some photos from our fun times spent together,  Feel free to contact me, and again I am so sorry for your great loss.

Hello there...Sorry to hear about Philip's passing. Although I don't know if I ever personally met him, we are from the same area and share a common interest...KISS.  

A Facebook friend posted this on my page because she knows I'm a fan. I reposted on my page also, so don't be surprised it this guest book lights up !

If I'd have known sooner, I would have stopped by and tossed over some KISS Confetti I have stored away from Baton Rouge in '79.

Oh well, enough from a stranger. We'll all meet up with Phillip again one day.

My love gos with you Nino, remember thanksgiving was our special day and  I'am thankful for you as a"special" nephew see ya....My love and prayers to the family, I'am here for you.                                                                     love aunt edith

The short time I have known you, you became a brother to me. Your integrity, your free spirit and your open heart were diamonds in a World so rough. You are missed bro....

RIP, Nino.... I haven't seen you in a while but it seems like you haven't changed a bit.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Lizzy, I am saddened by your loss. Even though I haven't seen you, or your dad in months, I know that you are the Sun of his universe. I was always impressed by the love, and pride, he had in you. More than anything else, he wanted you to be happy, safe, and to realize all of the positive potential you had within you. He also did not want people with crummy attitudes to negatively affect your positive self-identity. I know your dad can't wait to see your smiling face in your college yearbook. You will be on the page with a caption saying you had the highest GPA of anyone in your graduating class. It should also say your dad's love for you is the main reason your smile is so big! Your dad would always talk about your sweet personality, and that anyone who didn't appreciate it needed an attitude adjustment! I am now going to say something both of us want you to do. YOU GO GIRL!. Your dad is counting on you to keep his spirit alive! Please don't ever forget all the good times you had with him. I hope you continue the tradition of bicycle riding. Not only because you did it with your dad, but because it is relaxing, and healthy for your whole body, especially your brain. I was fortunate to have known both of you. I know you are going to make it. Please don't stand in your own way, like I once did to myself. You deserve all the happiness life has to offer.
Emile

My thoughts and prayers are with the Negri family.  I knew Nino in elementary school and middle school.  He was always a sweet and kind person, I remember him so well.  I pray that his daughter find peace in her heart and will remember all the great times she had with her dad.

Dear Nino,  There are no words for us to adequately express our sorrow.  Our hearts are broken because we don't have you here with us, but we know that your spirit will be kept alive forever in all the great memories of the many good times we shared.  Your life and love has left an indelible imprint on our hearts.  Let your spirit spread healing, peace, strength and comfort over your family and friends so they may endure and persevere through this mournful tragedy of now living our lives without you here with us.  You were and are such a gentle, kind and loving spirit and you will never be forgotten.  We'll see you on the other side.  Love and Hugs,

Phill and Sherill,

To the entire Negri Family: Our son John Miley has been friends with Kevin for over 3 decades. John, Kevin and Nino used to hang out. I cannot imagine, as a family, how horribly devistated each of you must be. Our prayers, some healing thoughts and some dynamite music go out to each of you.

SHERRILL, PHIL, LIZZY, KEVIN, ZACK, LINDA and all the NEGRI Family: -- NINO and all of you have been my "other" family and dearest of friends. I am terribly saddened that he was called away so soon from his Earthly Home here with his family that loved him so...  Nino was a "genuinely" kind, gentle, talented guy; and a wonderful, proud "Dad" to his sweet daughter. I pray with all my heart that all of you find the strength in remembering the good times and happiness he brought to so many in his character and in his love of music.  And take comfort in knowing that we will all be reunited with our passed loved ones when we meet again in our "Heavenly Home" of eternal peace with no more struggles, pain, grief or suffering ever again.  And I, as many, will "Miss you Nino." Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, always.  Much love to my Negri family/friends--

R.I.P. Nino. I will miss you in my life. My Heart goes out to Lizzy and the Negri Family. I am sure i will see you again someday. Rock on my brother. Don't worry, We will take good care of Lizzy. I know you loved her so much. I thank you for the 20 plus years of Friendship. We will miss you dearly.
                                                                                       Jerry & Leslie, -Metairie, la.

Rest In Peace, brother. I'll see you again on that eternal stage.

Dear Negri Family,

I was heartbroken to hear of Nino's tragedy.  He was a good hearted person and seemed to be a great father!  We chatted on facebook not too long ago and he told me that Lizzy was his world.  Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Phil & Sherrill

It's been many years -- We were so sad to read what happened.  We can't imagine what you're going through.  Our thoughts are with you.

Nino,I will always carry you in my heart and in my memories.  I first met you when we were in high school at EJ but I loved getting to get to know you better in our twenties.  You were always such a sweetheart!  I never heard anyone say a negative thing about you and I never heard you say anything negative about anyone else.  You will be missed tremendously!  I love you, Nino, and I will always think of you fondly.

Phil and Sherrill, John and I were so saddened to hear of Nino's death. We are so sorry. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you both and your entire family. John and Ginny Resor

RIP Nino 
My prayers are with you, Lizzy and Jamie.

Nino, you were a true friend to me and was always there when I needed help.  You are very much loved and will be missed so much.
