Dawn, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Although I did not know him that well he appeared to be "Quite A Character". He was fun to have around because you never knew what might come out of his mouth. My condolenses to you and your brother and sisters and your Mom. I just now read my e-mail and saw the news of his passing. Please let us know if you need anything. -Willie and Helen Garcia

Dear Rosemary. I enjoyed knowing you and Francis while I was employed by the USGS in San Antonio. He was always happy and cheerful. He also was a good Hydro Tech, a good friend and always a gentleman.

I always remember Mr. W. doing his Elvis impersonation on the dance floor. Just standing in 1 place the whole song, shaking his leg. Good times, & good memories! Thanks for sharing your family with us!
