Our sincere condolences for the loss of your father. When we first heard him on the radio I told my fiance we had to hire him to play at our wedding. That was back in June 26' 1982 in Hebbronville Texas. He had Duerme Canzado as a #1 hit and he and Vida Alegre made our wedding really special. We will forever miss him! May God bless you and your family!
With much love and our deepest condolences,
Patty & Bobby Rangel from Freer Texas
