Dad,

I miss you so much. I miss calling on the phone and saying "hello father", and you reply "hello daughter". I miss driving in the car with you and listening to the Shakira song. It feels so strange to be at home without seeing you, but I feel your presence with me all the time. I am trying to stay strong and not cry, because "Escobar's don't cry". I know but it's still hard. I promised you that I would always take care of mom and I will. I will continue to do things in life that would make you proud. I will always talk to Abby about you so she knows what a special Grandpa she had. You will be missed but never forgotten. I love you Daddy!!

Love your princess!!!!

Henry,

I am so grateful that Vinnie came back into my life. It has allowed me to share the last four years with you and your family. I just wish it could have been longer, we all miss you so much.

Everyone has fond memories of you that they will treasure forever. I know I will never forget Christmas day 2006. After Vinnie proposed we went to your house and everyone congratulated us. After everyone walked away, you came back up and grabbed my hands and just looked at me, neither one of us could say anything. I was so honored that you and Mary accepted me into your family. Thank you for the beautiful wedding, I’m so glad that you were able to share it with us.

PS. I’ll do the Indian Dance for you and give Vinnie a quarter whenever he asks for it.

To the Escobar Family,
Boo Boo will be greatly missed by all who knew him and his Big Smile at Airesearch/AlliedSignal/Honeywell. He was always so willing to help you out. I also remember him on Saturday mornings close to or in front of his house when I went to pickup another fellow worker to go running. May the Peace and Strength of God be with you,

Henry will be truly missed by the Miller family.We will never forget the times he called us kids RugRats or my Dad a Fish Eyed Fool! Or sometimes my parents were his homies from Wyoming (even though they were from Ohio)!
God bless you all and we are sorry for your loss.

Escobar Family:
It was so nice meeting all of you at Little Company and what a lovely
family. Henry I'm sure is so proud of all of you. He was a wonderful friend of mine the 37 years I worked at Honeywell and always made
everthing fun. Mary, you should be so pleased to have such a wonderful life with him and now he is with the Lord and may he rest in peace.

Dear Escobar Family,

I hope that knowing Boo Boo made such an impact on so many lives might make this difficult time a little easier. His smile was priceless and everyone that knew him found it so easy to love him. My condolences to the whole family.

Kind Regards,

Boo Boo was one of the first people you met as a new employee at AiResearch...a one-man welcoming committee! He would come into the department, singing some silly song or making a funny joke - he had the ability to make you smile even on the worst of days. He absolutely will be missed by the hundreds of people he cheered every day. Peace be with you, "Babe".

Escobar Family,
Thanks for sharing a great guy with all of us. Boo Boo made our days at Garret/AiReserach/ AlliedSignal/Honeywell much more fun with his great personality and nicknames; he had one for everyone. What a guy! He will be missed by all who new him.
Boo Boo,
You are so lucky that I didn’t know of your love for the “Soaps”, because I would have really given you a bad time…maybe a new nickname.
Lots Of Laughs and Love, Yvonne

To the Escobar Family, Henry will be missed by all... Having him as a neighbor growing up was wonderfu, I could remember waking up in the morning and hearing him do his daily work out in the back yard. He had a great sense of humor and a wonderful family! He was always lending a helping hand to anyone who needed a hand... May God Bless you and your family.

Henry, we're going to miss you. Who else but you would call me blondie, especially with dark roots. You made our group smile. We'll meet again.
