I remember you visiting us in Pasadena when you were on leave while in the service. I was in junior high and can remember hearing you sing or whistle while you were shaving. I remember you driving off in the family's 56 Chevy to meet up with your army buddies. I remember a young man with a quiet smile on his face. Even though life has changed us all, I will always remember my Tio, as the happy go lucky man with that infectious smile. I know God has opened his arms and welcomed you home. May you rest in peace. Love you, Anita Dominguez Kimes
