A Lot can be said,His virtures,values and morales were perhaps second to none to the people that this family consider to be true friends.And to say he will be missed,and goes with our love is surely an understatement.During a couple of situations of dire straights,Poncho and his lady Patty were willing and eager to help our family.That being said we encourage Patty and any members of Ponchos family to call upon us if we can be any help whatsoever and God Bless you.
