Gaspar, very sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I will always have the stories you would tell, and that is great. I will certainly miss "Big Al's" homemade olive oil. Take care brother!

Gaspar, I don't know if you remember me, but I was your teacher in the 6th grade.
I've ALWAYS wondered how and where you were.
I am sorry I found you because of your beloved father's passing.
It seems like only yesterday when you were in my classroom, and I met your sweet mother at conference time.
Teachers somehow remember the best and the worst. You and your family stood out as one of the very best in my 35+ years as an educator.
Please accept my sincerest condolences.

To my loving father, I miss you so much. You gave our family the love and guidance in life. You are the strongest man I have ever known. You provided for all of us with all your heart in everything you did. You are loved by all. You are now watching over us as we grow to be just like you. May God always bless you. You will never be forgotten. We love you always.
