Padrino,
I was so fortunate to have had you for a Godfather. Because of you I experienced first hand what a lifetime of friendship is like.. You and my Dad shared a brotherhood and camaraderie like no other. It was always such a pleasure just to be around you all. I will never forget the grain hauling throughout the night when that boxcar tipped over. My experience as a trucker back then proved to be most valuable. To this day my brother and I can still remember the sights and sounds...

Today my family is grieving for we have lost a beloved Godfather, Compadre, fellow combat veteran and the very best of friends. Although you are gone from our sight, your memory will live in our hearts forever. Your kindness, generosity and honorable nature will never be forgotten. We could always expect a warm smile and a good laugh with you. We are comforted in knowing that this is not the end, but only the beginning of a new life. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord....
