Linda & Family,

I opened the paper today to see that I had lost an old friend.

Back in the late 70's I worked as a salesman with Felix at Fiesta Ford.
During those days we were good friends, and as the years passed we would occasionally run into each other and it was always good to see and talk to Felix.

I'm very saddened to hear of his passing.

God bless the family he started.

It seems like just yesterday I was writing in the book to Junior and the
family about Dad. And then this morning I open the paper to find that
Junior had passed away. God must have needed another good man
in Heaven to help.
I am deeply sadden to here about Junior. I was a great friend and a
wonderful person. My God comfort all the Family. Prayers are with
everyone at this most difficult time.
