Oh the memories I have of Ferd and Elnore. We all went to beauty school together. I worked at Fernando 's for awhile till I got my own salon. He was always so funny and had a heart of pure gold. In 2014 we filmed a movie on his property and Ferd & Elnore were so kind. We are forever grateful for having this opportunity. My heart breaks for Elnore and the family. My tears fall for the loss of this incredible man. He was one of a kind and will never be forgotten. RIP my friend

So sorry for the horrific loss of your husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother Fernando. I knew them from his hair salon, neighbors of our friends, and school. I had seen him and Elnore at Trackside Bar and Grill in the past few years. Waverly lost another good man. Take good care of his beautiful wife. She will miss him greatly.

I. Will never forget the great memories I have of working for Fred and Elmore and all the great parties we had. I was so very privileged to know all his siblings also there worderful four children. Our Christmas Parties are something to remember also. Thanks for the memories. They were very supportive when my sister was killed and when my husband died they came to the funeral. We were are like family. All of us girls had children about the same ages so my children have great memories also. Ferd, thanks for the memories and I know you are in Gods hands. Till we meet again. You will be missed
