Juanita, I am so sorry to read of Homero's passing. I was thinking of him today, and called an old number I had for him. Then that did not work, so I looked him up on the set and saw the obituary. I was shocked, to say the least. I have so many fond memories of him and you. Please accept my condolences, I wish I had thought of him earlier. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. (210-653-55560

Homero was a terrific guy. He worked for me for many years in real estate.
He was always in good spirits. He was s great dresser always dressed for business every day he was with my company.
He was a joy to be around at all times.
