Hi Dad, It took me sometime to write this, i guess i am still having feelings of hurt and anger of losing you so suddenly . I often have thoughts that someway or somehow you will contact me saying wake up it was all a dream or that they made a mistake. To this day I still send you text messages waiting for reply, i will continue to do so hoping I can just get one more reply. I always thought we had more time, time for you to see me get married, have my first child, time for us to finalize our plans to go Argentina and Machu Pichu. Right now my life seem so different without you, getting calls and text messages to fix your fire stick or that you don't remember you passcode to your email. i may going to miss being your IT person or even having wine and drink together. Our Sunday hang out whether it was a movie or just walking around Manhattan or shopping. you have been the greatest dad I could ever ask for and I am eternally great full for everything, from teaching how to ride a bike to teaching me how to drive a car, even to you finally approving my first apartment although you was sad that I wanted to move out but you knew your baby cub was ready to spread her wings to fly. You was always my protector and only man who could love me unconditionally. I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU until the end of time/infinity. and I hope that when my time comes to see you again the love and respect we had for each other will not skip a beat. I know that i want to feel you spirit and love I can just look to the sky, and see you shining bright as a star. I love you always XOXO ~Vanessa Mejia

My deepest condolences to the family. Tony was my co worker at the hospital. I will always remember him as great friend. Always giving me good advice. He would always tell you the truth no matter what if you like it or not. One day on hes hour break from work he fixed my car mechanical problem. Every now and then I would have a nice cold beer with him. Am going to miss him. May he Rest In Peace.

Mi sentido condolencias a su esposa, hijos y al resto de la familia. Fué una persona optimista y rechazaba lo negativo. Decía que hay que vivir la vida cómo si fuera el último día. Ya no estás con nosotros. Nos queda el consuelo que estás descansando al lado de nuestro Señor Jesucristo
