I am so sorry to hear of your passing. Pollo, you spread your love and craziness with your presence. Running into you at the Arco gas station 6 months ago was quite a surprise, after 30+years. My oldest granddaughter and oldest daughter were quite amazed by you. I know you will be singing your oldies with the angels.....keep their heads ringing....Love, Carol Radous.

To all the family and friends of Mr Pollo, he is in a better place now, where he has no more tears or sorrow. One thing I regret Pollo is I didn't get to see you before you went, I looked in all the hospitals for the last 3 weeks, but you slipped through the system one more time! You crazy Luna tic. Get it! The day you passed I was hot on your trail, but I was at the wrong Windsor. Please forgive me Pollo, I tried hard, now your with the one WHO LOVES YOU? !! Love sis Gloria. Jimenez

Our Tio Pollo, Looking at you in this photo brings back your famous stand how you always leaned to the side knowing you were Mr. Cool. I would always remember the fact that you knew my first baby words but loving that you knew GOD always had your back- I will also miss the fact when I would see you or hear you say "WHO LOVES YOU AND MAKES YOU CRY" and "WHO LOVES YOU" - GOD LOVES YOU! No matter what path or walk in life we may choose, If we know and believe in GOD he is the promise at the end of our road. Pollo we all love you and will miss you so much. You are gone, but Pollo(Road Dog) will always be remembered and never ever forgotten. The Rock-N-Roller lives on in Jesus Name-Amen!

Luna's and Quesadilla's Forever!






Luna's Forever!!!
