My condolence to Remington family
Remington is my uncle the first child to his family follow by his second brother and then my father they are the riches family in those days.
In late 1990s they use to have connection with my father they use to sent latters and I still remember Justine's letter to my grandmother and my father.
In 2018 I found him in Facebook but he said Facebook is something public I need to have email so we can connect so easy and more secure but unfortunately we disconnected for a while due email issue.years pass and I tried to check on him but I was shock by what I saw .
He was an honor man and hard working person and I hold his name as Guet the name given to him by his parent .
Hope I can find someone from his family to connect with ..

My condolences to Remington's family. I worked in the NMSU Computer Center with Remington while attending college in the late 1980's. He always had a joyous greeting, allowed students time to study most of the time, as well as complete his own studies. I enjoyed the stories he'd tell of his worldly adventures. He will be missed.

I worked with Remington when I first moved back to Las Cruces in August of 1991 at what was called the Compter Center at NMSU. He was a joy to be around and we made each other laugh. I am truly sorry for your loss. Having known first hand the pain of the loss of a spouse, my prayers are with you Mrs. Remington. My deepest condolences to all of his family. Sincerely, Bernice Montoya
