I can't believe it's been 9 years since your passing cousin. Seems like yesterday I would visit you and with Arturo we would go to the 7-Eleven to play arcade games and get nachos. I remember you hanging out with me while working in gardening with my dad and going to Titos Tacos for lunch. We all miss you very much and I'm sorry I never got to meet your family or be part of your life as we got older. Rest in peace primo.

Jose and I met a few years back when he first opened his State Farm office in Venice, California. I was working and living on the property as the night security and asst. property manager. We became instant friends and I also became a client. He was an amazing person and I will miss him.

I will always remember my cousin as that kid I used to play hide in seek with as children. It's been over 20 years since we last spoke as we grew apart, but he was never forgotten. I miss you primo and I'm sad I never got the chance to see you grow up to the fine man you became. My condolences to the family.
