Not sure what to say?

Teresa, how very sorry I am to read of Alvaro’s passing. However, as people of deep faith we believe that our beloved ones are enjoying the rewards of lives well lived.
With deep affection,

We can still hear his laugh, still see his wide smile when he watched the neighborhood children, and still feel his immense love of life. He and Teresa set the ultimate example of a loving marriage, kindness toward all, and a deep abiding faith. Rest in peace dear man.

Love and prayers,

Jim and Susan Doss

Friend of loving daughter Elizabeth and co-artist of hers at the Red Door Gallery in Richland Center Wisconsin, On behalf of friends of hers, thank you for allowing us to convey our sympathy to her and her family.

How lucky are we to live in the age of Mr. & Mrs. V?!?! He was a constant presence of happiness and energy. Always so excited to see you and exchange some joy. Our entire fam has been exchanging warm memories of Mr. V. Here's to a life beautifully lived. Peace and love to the entire fam, especially Mrs. V!!

So sorry for your loss You’re all in our thoughts and prayers. May God grant unto him eternal rest.
Love you.

Cedric and I are sorry for your loss. While I never met your Father, his loving spirit shines through the lives of his family. A beautiful life. A wonderful legacy. May flights of angels wing thee to thy rest.

I remember him teaching me along with the neighborhood kids the game of soccer. He was a very good and kind man.

Mr. V is a legend. Always smiling. So kind. Called me Timoteo. I remember his voice.
We were so fortunate to have the Ventamilla family as our neighbors. Our thoughts are with all of you!

What a dear man. I have fond memories of playing soccer at Rehm park with him and his family. My love and heartfelt condolences to all the Ventimillas. Long live the neighbors of 800 south Wesley Ave!
