Arnold "Chofo" Velasquez

Dear Mary & Family:
We’re heartbroken over the loss of such a wonderful man. Even though I am up here, I could always count on seeing him when we visited, listen to a story or two. He always had a way of making us laugh. He was so lovely, I will miss him dearly. May god bless you all and carry you through this difficult time.

To all the family my prayers are with you, Chofo was such a great man will miss not seeing him around,knew him for so many years. I also lost my dad this week and know how you all must feel.We were blessed with good fathers. God bless you all. Gord Ortega

To my aunt Mary and to my cousins, Robert, Andy, and Louie. We were so saddened to hear the loss of uncle Chofo. My husband said he was one of his favorite people to visit with. We will definitely miss him at family gatherings. His spirit will always be with us. How lucky you are to have him as a husband and father. We send our love to all of you.

Uncle Chofo, we know that you are at a better place and with our dear lord. But how we will miss your smiling face, stories and jokes and being the life of the party. I am glad to say that you are our uncle and we are the better for having you and Aunt Mary in our lives. We will hold on to our memories and know that one day we will be sharing our stories with you once again. Love, your Niece and Nephew, Lorraine & Tommy
