Growing up with "Grandpa" in the neighborhood was a blessing. He always waved as he walked to get his morning paper and the conversations we shared while he waited to pick up his Granddaughter who was one of my students from school everyday. Our neighborhood will miss him terribly. My family and I send our love and prayers to your family, may you all find peace knowing we will all remember Grandpa forever.

To the Renteria Family, my prayers and condolences are with you all. Having grown up in the same neighborhood with the Renteria family, my memories were that of a kind, gentle man who kept an eye out for all in the neighborhood. Every day he would walk throughout the neighborhood and talk to those he met. He certainly helped to keep us kids in line! Oakleaf Drive won't be the same without him. Rest in the peace of Our Lord, Mr. Renteria.
