Alfredo Perez

Pop I just wanted to let you know that I was named Chairman of the Entertainment Committee for the Festival De La Familia.

I have to hire over 20 groups and 3 sound system companies for that day. It is a good thing that I had the honor of watching you work for all those years in the business.

I'm trying to follow in your footsteps Pop. Big shoes to fill, but I know you will guide me through. Something about being a Perez and being a promoter in the music business...

What a year this has been for the family Dad. God's blessings and miracles are all around us. Teresa, Mackenzie, and Veronica have all been touched by His mercy and healing hand.

Though many things have come againest us, our faith in Him sees us through. I Thank both you and mom for instilling in us that all inspiring faith of God and then family.

Learning to honor the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is the best lesson a parent can teach a child.

Ok Pop,...

Well Pop I cried a river today thinking about you. But I have to say that half of the tears were because I miss you so much, and the other half were because you brought so much joy into my life that I am overcome with gratitude and appreciation for the man who raised me, loved me, and called me his son. God's fingerprints and blessings are all over my life because of you.

"El baby de Mema y Alfredo." Boy, am I lucky or what. Love you Pop..

P.S. How could we ever replace such a brilliant, strong and devoted man, who loved nothing more than his family and his music. Love you Deddy.

Hey Deddy...First and foremost I must say, "When you got it, you got it." Wow, I miss you Grandpa! I cannot believe it has already been a year. It still feels like it was just yesterday you were here with us. My Dad is doing well, he's strong, but I know deep down he misses you more than anything. I believe in miracles and the everlasting spirit, yet at the same time I know there is a possibility this guestbook is here to help us feel there is still someway to communicate with you. ...

Hi pappa. "Well,,,,are you descent?" I remember how we used to say that to each other everytime we met.

Dad, I love you and miss you very much. I just wanted to tell you that I've been going through some hard times lately, and that it's at times like these that I think of you even more.

I miss your broad shoulders to lean on, and your tender voice to help ease the pain.

But I'll gladly handle the pain, if it means bringing your memory back to me.

Forever loving...

Well dad, what can I say? It was a good/long musical journey you and I undertook nearly fifty years ago.

I remember I was about twelve years old when I told you that I wanted to play the saxophone like Isidro Lopez. Your response was; "learn to play it and I'll help you put a band together". And you did. The memories of those years will stay with me forever.

You were such an important and integral part of my life. Always there for that free, but invaluable "fatherly...

I missed you today Dad. I had so much on my mind, but I just couldn't get it all straight. That's when I would usually call you or come over. I finally had to stop myself and just think, "What would Dad do in this situation?" Believe it or not, I got things worked out. Thanks again Papa. Love you.....

Papa.. I still think about you everyday. I miss your smile and our conversations about life and family and sharing the occasional watermelon. But I know that God is good and I will see you again someday. You are and always will be my hero and example of what a man is suppose to be. Love you Dad...
