You will be missed Tio, a hardworking and honest man. I remember all the times visting with my Mom to see my Grandfather Alfredo and Tio Pablo and all the family in Coachella, going to the ranch. How on every Easter the whole family, all nine brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews would go to the mountains and spend the day. How we would all go down to Buckeye, Az and visit the all the family who lived in Phoenix, You will be missed.
