Mr. Calderon,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dearest Martha and Family,

Becoming a friend of Joetta also meant becoming friends of the whole family. We are grateful to have known Luis and experience his kindness. It was no secret how he loved you and his children and grandchildren, and extended families. We know you will miss him so much but his legacy to all of you will live on, especially his faith and love of God. I remember how he cared for his mother-in-law, Mrs. Martinez, and how he was so good to your sister, Joetta, and her children.
God bless all of you and may Luis rest in peace. Love to all, Mando and Patricia Reyes and Family (Pueblo, Colorado)

I never met Mr. Calderon, but I know he helped shape a wonderful daughter Cathy. I trust by what I know about Cathy that Mr. Calderon must have been a great man. Condolences to the family, and especially Cathy and Ray.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Luis, but I've known his daughter, Cathy, for 21 years. He must truly have been a spectacular man to have earned the love and respect of such a dear friend. May God bless him and the entire family.
