Armando I MISS YOU SOO MUCH!! I have worked with you for the past 4yrs. and you were the first one to welcome me to the unit and gave me a hard time but joked about it. We developed a strong friendship over the years and I will cherish all the great memories we had. I know that you are no longer suffering and was tired of fighting all the pain that I would see you in. Rest in peace my friend!

To the family of Armando Gonzales. I want to say I was his friend, even though we didn't talk often, but when we did, it was like picking up where we left off. I remember him from Pueblo High School days and how fun it was to be around him even though I was two years older. He used to jokingly tell me I should hang out with friends from my class; well I think he was joking. I can still see him in his green apron when he worked at Lucky's Food Store and his contagious smile. Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days. Our most heartfelt condolences. His smile will shine on forever. Stella and Rick Hernandez

Armando my friend, you will always be remembered as the light of the party, from the day I first met you in 1994 at our mutual friends wedding. Over the years we would all get together and have lots of laughs. Its such a shame, you had to leave us so early, however God has you now and you are no longer suffering. Rest in Peace.......Love your friend, Joe - New york/Arizona

Gaining the respect of musicians and dancers to lead them in their craft is a true gift. You lead quietly but so effectively, smiling every step of the way. I was recently reminded by someone of what I always heard you say during our encounters, "quiet in the arena, thank you". Now you are quiet among us and we will forever be grateful for you.
