A father is more than just a dad. He is the soul of all the family. He is the husband to his wife, her very best friend and her lover. He is the unsung hero of his children. He is their mentor, their teacher, their buddy, their way of life. The lessons he teaches will always be remembered, the love he shares will always be treasured and the time he gifts will be immeasurable. He is a living example in his community. God bless the Saenz family as they lay "Nicho" to rest. May he rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon his soul. Amen (All of our love, Abbey and "Mountain Man" Santiago Algiene-Garcia from Colorado)

Leo, My prayers for you and your family as you process this difficult situation. Your father was a great man, my mother and I remember you two coming over to sing my mom the Mananitas for her birthday. You guys played and sang for a couple of hours and made my mothers day she still talks about that birthday. You are a great friend and I ask that GOD watch over you and your family. May God Bless you.

I remember in the early 1970's playing many a weekend at the Rocket Ballroom and listening to Nicho and his accordion. And many years later seeing him playing with his Sons and grandchildren.

His music and great smile will be missed in the Fort Worth Community.

My prayers to the family. You can always be proud of this great man.

I remember growing up seeing the Saenz Family singing and dancing and laughing all the time. You all have been there for us just a year ago when my daddy past. I know our hearts ache for them all but I can't wait until we can see them again in heaven and join in the happy party. My prayers are with you all. I love you all.

Like roses in a garden,
Kindness fills the air,
With a certain bit of sweetness,
As it touches everywhere.
May he rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him as he's reunited with his "Rose" once again. Love and Blessings always.
Hope and Mag. Ortiz
