In memory of

Jorgo Ruco

December 19, 1957 - August 12, 2021

IN LOVING MEMORY
Jorgo Ruco died peacefully on Thursday, August 12, 2021, surrounded by family and friends after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He loved bringing people together to celebrate all of life's joys. He had the ability to make everyone feel welcome the moment they met him and as a result had a long list of friends from all over the world. Jorgo was a devoted husband and father and always went above and beyond for his family and those he cared about. He is survived by his wife of 37 years (Teuta Shehi) and daughters Daniela (Boiken Salillari) and Arlinda (Sabrina Cestola). He also loved to spend time with his grandchildren (Evan and Owen Salillari) and was always looking for ways to spoil them. He will be greatly missed.

I met Jorgo the first week of February in 2012 where he worked and where I became a U.S. based Sales Engineer.

I worked with Jorgo every day and travelled with him (off and on) since Q1 of 2012.

He was a warm, gracious, genuine, benevolent, charming, gentle man. We became friends and he welcomed me into his family - I met and spent time with him, his daughters, his wife, his mother and son in law. Simply put, Jorgo had us all at "Hello". He is, perhaps, one of the most lovely people I have known and I was fortunate to have been his friend. His family was his life and pride. He was a gem.

Always warm, courteous, patient, helpful and wise. And many more fine qualities and attributes. I consider myself honored to have known Jorgo, even for a short time.

Ngushellimet tona per humbjen e te dashurit tuaj. Humbja e parakohshme e Jorgos eshte e madhe jo vetem per familjen por edhe per te gjithe miqte dhe shoket e tij. Ne do ta kujtojme si nje njeri te qeshur dhe gojembel.

Me mall,
