I am sorry we never met. I know from reading in his quest book that Carlos was a good man. My prayers go out to his family and recall the good times.

The only one I remember is Reynaldo. I remember my tio Lano he lived with us for a few days back in the early 50's.

My father is Esteban Ancira one of the youngest.

Our Love goes to our beloved Tia Mary and all of our cousins at the loss of our wonderful Tio Carlos. I will always remember him as a Godly man when we would all attend Christ Revival. He will truly be missed, now we have one more Angel who will be looking over us. Love , Chavela and all her family.
