Alfredo H. Lujan

Our condolences to the Lujan family. My mother and I have such wonderful memories of Alfredo. The Lujan family were always so kind to us. He was an awesome father. We are keeping the Lujan family in our prayers.

Mr. Lujan,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My condolences to the Lujan family...Alfredo and his mother Julieta are a big part of very fond childhood memories...I lived with my grandparents Jose (Che) & Josefina (Fita) Alvarez, on Church St. when I was a very young child. I probably went into the bakery on a daily basis, and for whatever reason, they seemed to take great delight in my daily visits and this made me feel special, and even in later years, always happy to see me and still greeted me by my childhood name, "Quetita".

Today we gathered to pay tribute to my grandfather. It was just as he would have had it, friends and family together, with good food and even better pastry (Lujan's, of course). I was so proud of the grace my cousin Hannah showed as she sang in tribute to my grandfather. I was reminded of my grandfather's service to his country as I watched the veterans honor him with rifle salute and American flag. He will be missed, for certain; and it was with certainty that I know he was loved.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We are sorry to hear of Mr. Lujan's passing. When we lived in Cruces in the 50-60s, we'd stop by the bakery for some sweet bread (maranitos). Mr. Lujan was a good family man. He will be greatly missed.

Our condolences to all of the family of Freddy Lujan. He was a dear friend to all of our family as was his mother Julieta. We always stopped at the bakery when passing through Las Cruces. We loved the bread but we deeply admired him also. Our prayers are with the family. Our mother and his mother had been friends since childhood so we all thought of the Lujan family as our family.

I was so sorry to learn of Mr. Lujan's passing. He was a kind and gentle man who loved to talk and could make a stranger a friend in one conversation. His stories of life in the Mesilla Valley were funny and informative about what was happening in 'the old days'. Many of the stories he told had himself as the 'butt of the joke' Those stories of lessons learned were the most enjoyable to me. He was so proud of his children and especially his grandchildren.

As Jesus welcomes...

"The Best Bread that I can remember ever having". I remember this man when I would buy the bread as a child. He was ever so kind and somehow he knew that the money spent at his place was never enough to buy what we needed. Your kindness has not been forgotten forgotten, I have passed it forward............GODSPEED. El Cielo recupero el angel que estaba con nosotros, te extranamos
