OBITUARY
It is with a heavy heart that we report the passing of Octavio Diaz on the morning of Saturday, January 30th, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Tavo was an incredible husband and father, and we are thankful that he was able to retain his kind and caring demeanor up until his final days. The family will miss him dearly. If you would like to honor Octavio, we request that you consider donating to the Alzheimer's Association...  see more

    This is one of my favorite pictures both Lisa and Tavo smiling, as always. This is how I want to remember him. He is in my heart.

    Tavo was a great guy. He always had a smile on his face and was willing to assist anyone if they had a problem or an issue. Because I worked for Gary for a number of years, he frequently took me to Marlboro CC and we'd run into Tavo waiting on us to tee...  more

    To my very best friend. I miss you terribly. A life well lived but cut far too short. It has taken me a while to write this, longer than I would have ever expected, but so many memories to gather up. I remember our times together at Marlboro Country...  more

    Gary and I used to spend our Friday nights at the club having drinks and dinner with Tavo and Lisa. We always looked forward to our weekly dinner and talking about what happened during the week. It was always inevitable that Gary and Tavo would have a...  more

    Gary, Tavo, Dave Sullivan and I were playing in a charity tournament and I remember us making the turn to play the back 9 when we found out that we were on the leaders board. The team was playing really well and it came down to the last hole where we...  more

    I remember the times that Tavo came to visit Gabe at our house in Hyde Park. We sat together more than once in the back yard, under the tree, and had a few beers. He liked to talk about Mexico, and I asked him about how he grew up. I remember him being...  more

    I am one of Gabe's friends from growing up in Stow. I've spent a lot of time with the Diaz family over the years, and I will always remember Tavo's warmth and generosity. One of my favorite memories of him is when Gabe and I would play soccer growing up,...  more

    I will always celebrate the love of my parents - truly a romance story that transcended cultures and countries. I am so grateful that my Dad passed in the loving care of my Mom. That is exactly how he would have wanted to go.
  • Nicole  Diaz
    My Dad was such a generous and loving person. He was happiest when he could support other people and being groups together. Such a warm and loving spirit. I never had any doubt that any place I needed him to be or any thing I would ask, he would give...  more

    Tavo is my favorite uncle. Ever since I was a little girl I always thought he was so good looking and cool 😎, he drove a Mustang and had great hair 😉. Always cheerful, I enjoyed our long chats, I miss him.

    I am Gabe's friend from the time we were students at RPI, in Troy. I met Tavo during a visit to Troy, and we got to talk about Mx city, music (he also liked son jarocho, as I do), and other things. I remember those chats, both in person and online,...  more
