Read MoreUncle Louie, you earned your wings many times over. I will always cherish the memories of spending time with you and your fantastic Mexican hot chocolate with Mexican bread of course. I always admired you and may you Rest In Peace. Give aunt Nellie and uncle Julian a hug from me.

I had a heavy heart when I was told you passed. Louie was the kindest man I had ever known and very interesting to visit with. So many memories, however in my early years in Topeka my parents would not co-sign to help me purchase my first car so Louie said we are going to see Mrs Robinson and I am co-signing. I have never forgotten. RIP Louie -- you were special.

Tio, I will miss our dances. But most of all I will miss your advice. Much love.

Louis Torrez grew up in Carbondale with Juana Gamino and he would tell me about how he played with my mother when they were little. When I took our girls to a wake my youngest daughter was reciting Our Lords Prayer. Louie turned around and told my daughter her grandma would be so proud of her knowing her prayers. He was a kind soul. May perpetual light shine upon him, May he rest in peace.

A wonderful man. When I went to OLG school he was always kind and patient with us when we went to church weekly. I haven't seen him in a very long time. But I will always remember his kind eyes and sweet nature. RIP Louie.
