Aunt Andrea, Terry, Billy, Chris,

I'm very sorry for the loss of your husband/dad, my uncle. I have a lot of really good memories of him in our younger years on holidays riding bikes in the desert. I have always remembered how hard he worked throughout the years and as I got older, I learned to really respect his work ethic. I remember his smirky smile and his laugh...Good times which are missed.

I'm very sorry. With Love, your cousin.

After all of those years of trying to teach me so many lessons, your efforts are finally moving thru me, and will only continue to gain more strength.
Love you Daddy...

I was talking to God today and smiled when I thought of all the things you were probably tinkering with up there, gates, golden streets and harps. Your memory will continue as Chris uses items of yours to make our home happy and safe. Love You, Denise

Your life and spirit inspired me throughout my life. You were the strongest man I ever knew. I'll miss your smile, good heart and funny stories everyday. No matter what I faced in life you taught me to face it head on. Love you Daddy...

Have a good flight old buddy! You were one of the best! I'll never forget the day we lite up the sky on east Mcdowell and made the head lines. Bet no one in your family knew about that one. It has been one hell of a party. Glad you were part of my life.
Carlos Ontiveros.
