Not sure what to say?

First my condolences go out to the family. He was a big part of my family as my father was part of the church as well. El Santo Nombre the name of the group. Zeferino was part of my family since I was about 4 years old. Always looking out for my father, Andres Nuñez. Come to find out I went to school with his daughter, Marissa. Que descanse en paz Sr. Zerafino.

On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences on your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that Jesus is now at peace.

Sincere condolences to Zeferino's family. I met Zeferino when I first cam to Chicago with the farmworkers. We had free office space in his Comite del Cardinal. Later after the boycotts, I worked for him doing immigration and job placement work.

Thankful to have worked with Mr. Ochoa, both at ALAC and in the Immigration program at Catholic Charities. I hold in memory his commitment to justice and his living his faith by example. Thank you, Mr. Ochoa, for sharing your gifts in such a meaningful way. Prayers for him and his loved ones. Dalia Rocotello

Sending my deepest condolences to the family. I met La familia Ochoa at St. Francis church. They know me as Chabelita and I was around 10 years old or so. Sr. Ochoa was always very nice and supportive.

My name is Lorena Cabrera, I met Mr. Zeferino Ochoa in 1990. I was hired to work with him as a secretary at ALAC (Archdiocese Latin American Committee), that was the name of the program back then, now known as the Immigrant Service Program of Catholic Charities. I worked with Mr. Ochoa until he retired in 2002. He has always been a gentleman. I have some great pictures but unable to upload in this page.
