Not sure what to say?

El made the halls of where I work a joy. I always looked forward to bumping into him in our work travels. With just a smile, a word or two and a glint of his eye, you felt special. that's a hard feat in this busy day and age to take that split second to reach out. One thing that came up again and again at his service was that he lived BIG. The moment we stepped out of that service, we felt that enthusiasm and positiveness that he had. It was everywhere. Life IS precious, but what is...

So sorry to hear. El was a great guy. Positive, happy and wltty. He did a lot for kids and was liked by all. I'll miss you Buddy

Dear Dannen Family,
I was not able to come to the service on Saturday, but I wanted to express my deep sympathy. I had the pleasure of working with El on a variety of issues related to the utility company that I represent. I instantly took a liking to him - he was a great man, fair in his business dealings, fun to be around and always made me smile. He will be missed.

Sincerely,
