Not sure what to say?

I was extremely sadden to hear of the loss of such a great friend & mentor as Mr. Cirilo. I have known Mrs.Bea and him since I started at Sams club over 20 years ago. He will not only be missed by me, but the entire Sam's Club family. Our prayers goes out to the Arteaga family and may God grant you peace during this difficult time.

I only met you a year ago, but you definitely made an impact on me. Whenever I helped you at the bank, I always perked up because you always greeted me with a genuine smile and always had a great life story to tell me. I know you lived a full life and will be leaving an amazing legacy behind you. My thoughts and prayers go to the Arteaga family. We'll miss you Cy.

Cirilo you were a great man and will be missed.

Mr. Arteaga was a respected employee of the Postal Service when I lived and worked in Wichita, Kansas. I remember when he was the senior clerk on the seniority list. He sorted a lot of mail into that letter case. I wish you a good journey Cirilo. My condolences to the family.

vaya con dios, mi amigo.

My sympathy to all the family.

To the Arteaga family:
I want to send my words of saddness with the lost of Cirilo. He was a very good friend of my grandparents, when the early Mexicans were starting to build lifes here in Wichita. He was one of the fewer Mexicans, who kept the history on the Mexican people here in the Wichita area. He was a very caring and good person.

Mr Artega,
Always friendly and supportive. Model citizen and pacesseter for the Hispanic Community. You will be greatly missed! Our Sincere condolences to his family.
