Mr. Longoria was a true gentleman and as faithful a friend and supporter of Holy Cross as there ever was. He was the epitome of the Holy Cross Man. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the Longoria family. My Mother was a close friend of Mrs. Longoria and because of that friendship my memories of Pancho still resonate within me, whether at a school dance or a football game. What a pleasure and a privilege it was to have Frank serve as the trainer, someone who was associated with the San Antonio Spurs. Like many of the Brothers and Men all I know is that he made an impact on me as I continued to grow towards manhood. Finally I very much appreciated the items he distributed to the athletes which were from the spurs and which were a "little too big" for most of us. In any case he was always cheerful and definitely true to the school.

My condolences to the Longoria family your father was an inspiration to me going to Holy Cross High School. My father Russell H. Kreig sr. my mother Mary Louise Kreig who worked in the business office at the school with your mom would be deeply saddened by this news if they were still here. May he rest in peace and God Bless. From the family of Russell H. Kreig II Holy Cross Class of 75.

I have such fond memories of Mr. Longoria taking care of me and yes, even sometimes lecturing me, during our "ankle taping" sessions before my Providence HS basketball games. He always took such care of us making sure we wouldn't injure ourselves and making sure we healed correctly when we did sustain an injury. He will be missed and he had such an impact on so many people. He will be missed.
