I will remember him for his great smile and laugh, which was contagious to everyone. he was a man of many talents, that I wish I had more opportunities in life to share with him. The one thing about my grandfather that I remember most, is when he stepped out onto the dance floor. from salsa, merenge, cha cha, to ballroom, fox trot, and the gig, he drew everyone's attention to him and his partner, as people were in awe how great and elegant he made dancing look.
I love you and you will be missed Grandpa Termite. I'm thankful for the time we got to spend in these most recent years.
With Love & Blessings,
Brandon Sejera

Termite, I've always wanted to visit you, but never knew where to find you after we lost touch. I remember when I use to babysit for the kids when I was in High School. You could have gotten me a job at Vandenberg AFB, but I went to San Francisco instead. You will be missed my good friend. Eddie and I enjoyed the times we spent with you. Now you're in a better world. You can say Hello to my parents for me and to all the others that you are now with. Love you, Eddie & Roni
