Juan A. "Tony" Candelaria

although it has been a while of the loss, he still lives in my memories of traveling with him to Puerto Rico and the many meetings and meals shared in Chicago and other places..... His oldest brother worked with my father at south works steel mills and i always loved his view point on politics in Chicago. He was very active in the community groups in the Puerto Rican Community and was admired highly as a gentleman and a respectful to all people regardless of their viewpoints. Juan...

I would like to send my condolences to the family of tony candelaria as I knew him when he was young and just about the time he got married. I am very sorry I did not get to see him alive since I had lost contact with him for a lot of years. God bless him an d his family and may he rest in peace and I know the Lord has a place waiting for him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and God bless you all.

To Tony, a man who was always there for us. You are a man who never had a frown, but smile that could light up a room. We are going to miss you so much and am glad you came back in March and spent time with us. A time we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
