We were so sorry to learn of our friend, Lupe's passing. We were schoolmates at St Agnes and we were all like family. He had a joyful spirit and always managed to make everyone laugh with his quick wit. Our prayers are with his entire family.

My heartfelt condolences to all members of the Lupe Flores family! I knew Lupe when both of us attended St.Agnes Catholic and Parochial school on Ruiz St. An everlasting memory I have of him is when he, Robert Fike and others got on stage during our Spring Festival and sang "Mother-in-law" before the crowd. They electrified the crowd with their rendition.RIP Lupe
