I still think of you Tio/Uncle Alfredo. The numerous conversations that we had about your boyhood days in Hebbronvillle, Texas were memorable. How you became a good Vaquero/Cowboy by going on corridas/trail ride along the Texas highway camping overnight under the stars. The early morning cattle trail continued to the railroad pens and next morning stocking up the railroad cars going to meat markets up to Fort Worth. How you met Tia Nicha and deciding to make a new career in the oilfield in Texas and Louisiana fields and offshore. Raising a family and never forgetting your deep American roots dating back to late 1700s & early 1800s. You fulfilled your American dream. I'll never forget your can do attitude and laughter.

This is special, to have memories brought back to mind in subsequent years, such as this. Though we didn't know Mr. Alfredo, we do know one of his sons, Fernando Flores and are very fond of him, so we want him to know we think about the loss of his dad, whom he dearly loved. God bless you, Ferd, and all of your loved ones. Viv & Mike

We miss you Tio Alfredo. I miss talking to you about your American Vaquero/Cowboy days. You and Tia Nicha worked hard to raise a wonderful and beautiful family of love and dedication to succeed in their endeavors.

What a gentleman and gentle man. One of the figures in my life that served as the image of a perfect father/husband. He will always be so to my brothers, sisters, and me. We were separated from the little pink trailer by only a gravel drive, but felt as much a part of life there as his own. I'll never forget his story of me learning to ride a bike. He told it to me nearly every time I saw him. Such wonderful experiences growing up. He will be missed and remembered. Prayers, Lydia, Gracie, Freddie, Ferd, and Ray. RIP Mr Fred and Ms Neecha (sp).
