Jaime's smile could be seen a mile away. That's what I will always remember, his love for life, family, people and work. He had special jokes or sayings with everyone he met. He and my husband would always say something to each other that would make them laugh...but to this day I don't know what that was. Our prayers are with his family and know he will always be remembered. God Bless

My thoughts and prayers are with Jaime's family. I remember him as a well-liked and very competent person who always brought sunshine to his colleagues. In good times and bad, whenever we interacted he had a smile and very positive attitude. His family should rightly be proud of him. His memory will live on. God Bless.

My heart is heavy with the news of Jaime's passing. Although I have not seen him in a year or so, his friendliness is what I remember. We always spoke of family and vacations :}
So tonight when I go home, I will look up in the sky and know that one of those beautiful stars is Jaime, waiting for his family and friends.

I just heard about Jaime's passing and was deeply saddened. I did not know him well other than he was very warm and friendly. He never passed me without saying 'hi' and offering his tremendous smile. My condolences to his family.

Jaime was well liked & will be missed. He always greeted everyone with a firm handshake & a hardy slap on the back (or punch on the shoulder). I am proud to call him my friend. May God bless...

Jaime always brought a smile to my face. We had a special greeting for each other where we would say each others' names really low. We both would always laugh. He always asked about my family and what was going on in my life even though we rarely saw each other. He was a great man and I will miss his smile. My prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

While I never got to meet Jaime, I did have the pleasure of meeting his family on a recent visit to Austin. If he was as wonderful as they are, I'm sure he was an outstanding man. My family's thoughts and prayers are with Gilma, Lina, Milton & Bippy during this difficult time.

To Jaime's family, Jaime was well liked here in Motorola/Freescale. He was a very nice and repectful man, always haD a smile! He always brought joy to everyone he came accross to. I will always remember the conversations with him in spanish. He would always try to correct my spanish which at times I was wrong.. but he loved to see me get upset in a good way. I would ask him? well where are you from? and he would say El Salvador!! I would yell at him in a nice way, You Salvadores don't know what you are saying.. he would just walk away laughing shaking his head..oh Esther!! He talked a lot about his family. He loved each and everyone of you so much. And PROUD? Oh he was so PROUD of all of you, especially his children. I/We will miss Jaime!! We will keep Jaime and his family in our prayers. You all have Our Deepest Sympathy. May God Bless You all in this very difficult time. Remember he will always be with you. He is your Angel from Heaven.
