My condolences to the Familia Franco. I met Babo through my Compa Russell. Babo was always so respectful, even when I came across him many years later. Although I had to tell him who I was, he remembered me visiting their home with my son, Little Gil. Then we picked up where we left off. :) A very talented gentleman. En Paz Descances.

May his memories bring you peace.
Con un fruente abrazo a toda su familia,

Yvanna my heart is broken. It's hard to believe your dad / my brother has passed. I'm trying but I still can't make sense of this. I know he is now in Gods hands surrounded by family and friends. He will now be your guardian angel sitting on your shoulder watching out for you and the baby. Remember Yvanna that we love and that you are not alone, family and friends are here for you always. God Bless us all. Miss you Babo.
