I will never forget the great times we had together eating at pappasitos restaurant in San Antonio. We would always leave that place with a smile on our faces. We had great conversations while at pappasitos and I will miss this aspect of our relationship. Melinda and I will miss him dearly--I am glad that I was able to get to know him. Rest In Peace. (Tony Hinojosa, son in law)

I love you Dad and miss you so much. Mom loves you with all her heart and misses you more than I can ever even write down in words. Mr. Blinkley and Lexi keep looking for you around the house; Mom and I are taking care of them for you.

I love you,
