Mike,
You did a beautiful job. Your father was the kindest, sweetest and absolutely genuine members of our family.
I am proud to have been a part of his life.

We have many great memories of Uncle Mike (cousin to Bertha Salcido) and Aunt Pat and the one that always remains with my brothers and sisters was the fun we had at Munz Lake. Mike and Pat will always remain in our hearts!!!

I miss driving to Whittier to help him out around the house, listening to old stories about L.A., and arguing about issues. extrano sus ojos que brillaban con carino

Remarkable! An electronic guestbook...
Bless you all who came to my Dad's vigil/funeral Mass/gravesite. You can not know how comforting it was to have you there; for us, and to honor my Father. I know of others who would have been there, but were unable to attend. You were with us in spirit.
He would have loved this time of year. Walking in cool-jacket weather. And its election time too; ballot measures, lots of letters to the editors, and plenty of news items to keep his mind sharp. He read the Times daily, and remembered everything. -Michael & Rose-

One of God's angels who touched people's lives with God's love so gracefully and gently that we didn't even realize it. Pray for us Uncle Mike, because we know you are in Heaven, and Home.
We love you.
