John and Family,
Juan was such a kind and loyal man to me and my Dad for many years. Juan was always loyal to Tulane University, even in the tough times.

We will certainly remember Juan and miss him greatly. God Bless Juan and the...

I will miss Juan Velasco, who I first met at a New Orleans QB Club meeting in 1981 when I was a new attorney working downtown.

I considered Juan not only my friend, but also my "expert" in Sport and Traffic Court, two parts of his life I know he enjoyed. He was the best at both. A lot of people will miss him.
