On behalf of the entire Castaneda family, especially Robert and Betty, please accept our condolences on the passing of my Dad's cousin.
We only learned of his passing last night, and were unable to attend his services this morning.
When I called my father last night to give him the news, he related several stories of good times he'd had with all of the Mesa Gaona's, both in childhood and after they all had their own families.
Again, our thoughts and prayers...
Robert (Rocky) Castaneda
