I am saddened to hear of Tio Pale's passing. He was a great man and soldier. Thank you for your service Tio! I remember the special times our families spent together and they are great memories. I know you are busy and having fun in heaven reuniting with family in friends that arrived before you and that you are making them laugh with your humor. Adios Tio!

Uncle Ralph (Tio Pale to us) was always happy, with a smile for everyone. I am so happy that he was able to celebrate several of his birthdays with us. We will surely miss him.

I became acquainted with Mr. Hernandez while working at the Mcallen VA Outpatient clinic. I was one of his nurses for many years. He always had a ready smile and volunteered his time and help with so many activities. He was such an exceptional person and truly led a life of service. We all loved him. May he Rest In Peace.
