My grandpa was a one in a million. I lost him so early. My Grandpa was always there for me when I needed him to be. I had a special bond with him that no one could take away. When I found out he had passed away, I was so heartbroken. I knew that one day we would all die, but I never thought I would lose my grandpa so early. My grandpa was not only my grandpa, he was my best friend, and no one, no matter how important, can fill the spot I will always have for my grandpa

However as it is written: " What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived"-- the things God has prepared for those who love him-- 1 Corinthians 2:9

I will forever be grateful to God for you and your family . You are the only guy not blood related to me that I know to be so respectful, loving, helpful, funny and so ready to do good for others never expecting anything in return, my family and I will be forever grateful to you and your family.
With heartfelt sympathy we wish you God's peace.
Our hearts and prayers are with you now and always.
I can imagine Rick and Tino singing Volver Volver and doing the grito in "La Bamba" Hasta luego Compadre!
Con cariño hoy y siempre

Mr. Solórzano, I have had the pleasure to know you and your family since I was a little girl. You were a great friend to my mom Barbara Leon. You were a great father to your kids, that I have grown to come close to especially Richard. I know that you bestowed all of you into him because he is just as amazing as you were. One thing I can say that ill always remember is your wonderful cooking, and your folkloriko dancing, and the best of you was your kind heart. You will forever be missed, but one thing I can say is this. THIS IS NOT GOODBYE , IT IS UNTIL NEXT TIME.
ALWAYS CHRISTINA & SYLVIA GUTIERREZ

I'm saddened to hear that such a beautiful soul has passed but thankful to have met you in this life. Your vibrancy and charisma always drew everyone to you and is passed on through all your children and grandchildren. You created the dance group I grew up in, you created beautiful children with amazing spirits, and you instilled happiness in the lives of many. Thank you for your loving family and for all you've done for many. Rest easy Sir, your legacy will live on. ♡

Such a privilege to have known you. Thank you for all the unconditional love, encouragement and support. So glad you were with us for our wedding and new home. Can't express enough how much I appreciate and enjoyed all the wonderful times we shared - family parties, Holidays, special occasions, Breakfasts & treasure seeking. So much fun. Thank you for all the amazing food - best tortillas & mac 'n cheese ever. Thank you for you son, Richard, and your beautiful family. I have been so blessed through you. You will be missed.

I had the pleasure of having dinner with Tina's dad and family( Tiffany and kids, Eva, Nicholas and Tina) a few months back and I will always remember him welcoming me to their home with love and warmth. The man was a natural chef and had the gift of cooking very delicious food. You can tell that him and his wife did an amazing job at raising their kids and in turn their children will raise amazing children and so on and so on. He showed a lot of love for his family and grandchildren. I pray for the Solórzano family that the Lord will continue to give strength, peace, love and comfort through this difficult time. Love, Eunice Ramirez (friend, Tina's co-worker)
