For all my cousins and aunt.
To learn that my uncle Joren passed away made me very sad. The only thing I think of saying is that my uncle Joren was a faithful representative member of the APIQUIAN family which counts always with persons with a great love
for life and a very big heart.
I believe that my uncle JOREN and his brother Rogelio (my father), who passed away two years ago, are now in a new dimension an have probably reunited.
I always remember my uncle with love and will continue doing so. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.
With love,
Patricia

To my beloved Father,
He taught me many things, but the one thing I learned from my father is to be independent. He told me not to depended on others, if you want something bad enough you can do it. He always had confidence in me. There were times in my life that I would need a little help and he was always there for me. I never took it for granted and I knew he respected me for it. I always kept my promises with him, and maybe thats why he always offered his help. There are so many fond memories of my father, he was loving, caring and loved being a father, husband and grandfather. My father taught me that even though you may be a girl you need to know how to fix things Everytime I had a problem at my house he would be my handyman. But he would make me fix it. I learned how to soder a faucet, change a tire, check my oil and other fluids in the car. At the end I believe we were the ones why he held on so long. His last words he spoke to me was on Fathers day 2006, I looked him in the eye (my face two inches from his) and said, "Papa, it's Heidi, how are you today? I love you. Happy Father's Day!" "Are you going to eat?" I gave him a funny face and his look me straight in the eye with a big smile and said "Pincha Loca" Translated in spanish I believe means "Crazy girl." I laughed and my brother Andre said, "Well his memory is off today, he got that right!" He was right,because my dad and I always joked around and had some many laughs. He is a very happy person who enjoyed life and will be truly missed. I love you Papa,

Our (Doug and Tom, too) sympathies to the whole Apiquian family but especially to Joren and Lisa. Joren, I did meet your family at several times over the years - always joyous occasions. . . .
the showers for your wedding, your wedding and the showers for some of your kids. I always thought you were so lucky to have such a big, close family. I am sure your Dad will be missed but, as yours kids have said before me, what wonderful memories!

One thing that I will always remember about my Opa was his laugh. It was one of the best laughs I've ever heard and it was so contagious. I believe that is where our family got our great sense of humor.I will always remember his smiling face and I will never forget my Opa.

We will always remember "Opa" as a very warm and good hearted man. He always put his family first. He loved Oma,all his children and all 12 of his grandchildren and his great-granddaughter. He will always be in our hearts and we
know he is watching over all of us.
Love you always Pa!

I don't really have many memories of my "Opa." But I do remember him always having this kind of peppy and heartwarming spirit that always seemed to cheer up the Apiquian family. Everytime i would visit him, he'd call me a "mehoe" or something like that. And I never really understood what that meant, but it always made me feel welcome. Then when he got the Alzeimer's Disease, I saw it affecting him. He wasn't talking much. Then he started calling me Joren. He never called me Joren, and I think he got me mixed up with my father.My father's name is Joren, and mine also happens to be Joren. Because I remember him telling me stories about my dad and saying how much I look like my dad. And I knew that Alzeimer's makes you forget things, and I thought that was really cool that I looked almost exactly like my father. The thing I admired about my Opa is that he was always an enjoyable person. He was a great opa, a great husband and a great father. Another thing I loved about him was the way he handled jokes his sons played. I remember my father telling me a story about when he was eating mashed potatoes for dinner one night with his brothers and sisters. And then he flung some potatoes on the ceiling. When my Opa walked in the room he was cracking up. But he was also a good husband. When his wife(my oma) walked in she started yelling at them. Then my opa eventually yelled at them.
Now that my opa pasted away, im happy that he's in a better place. But I'm really going to miss him.

Their are many memories that I will always remember my Opa. One feature that I will never forget about my Opa, is his laugh and his simile when you would first see him. The memory that I most enjoyed with my Opa was when I was little. Me and Opa would play soccer, kicking the ball around the yard. However, one thing that I will alway remind me of my Opa, is when I'm eating broccoli. It will always remind me of him because, when I was little I didn't like to my broccoli. So to make me eat my broccoli my mom and dad would tell me to eat Opa's trees(Broccoli)because, of the big trees that grew in his yard. I will never forget the memories I have of my Opa and he will be greatly missed.

One of the best things about my Opa was how I felt when I was around him. I was always full of energy and happiness. I had a great feeling of comfort when ever I was around him. Everytime when I was younger and my family and I would visit or go to his house, he would always greet me and my little sister with big kisses on our cheeks and would say "Hola Mamasitas!!" I miss him deeply and Im happy he was my Opa.

One of the best qualities about Joren, or as I called him "Opa" was the way he enjoyed his grandchildren, especially when they were babies. He would get a twinkle in his eyes, and he would smile,talk,dance,and sing to them. All twelve grandchildren were special to him, and I will always treasure the memories of Opa with his grandchildren.
