Al, Gabe and the entire de la Cruz family I truly regret I will be unable to attend the celebration and remembrance of the life of your brother Lorenzo. For me it is more than losing a friend more like losing a big brother or family member. The de la Cruz family was like family for me growing up in the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s and all those wonderful memories flash through my mind that bring smiles, laughter and sadness in Lorenzo’s passing. It brings to mind these words by Neil Young song One of These Days “I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter to all the good friends I've known. And I'm gonna try and thank them all for the good times together. Though so apart we've grown” With love and sadness, Butch
