Tia- I have lots of great memories of my Tio...
As a kid I always enjoyed spending weekends
with you both sometimes with my mom & sometimes
by myself... I remember going 2 games & watching
him umpire & I remember how intrigued I was watching
him! As I became older, listening to him conversate I realized
how intelligent he was... I always admired the love between you both!! And when i had to find two people to be my Nina
& Nino for my babtism there was no doubt who I would ask- you & my Tio!!! I can see he has touched many peoples lives.. He was a wonderful man... Rest in peace Tio... Elizabeth & Brian Wilson

Uncle Stan,
God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "Come to me." You didn't deserve what you went through, so He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best and when you were sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back to suffer that again.

With all our Love,
Michael, Lawana, Elizabeth and Yvette Cortez

P.S.- Thank you for the great memories that you gave to our family.
