I'm saddened to learn of Carlos passing. He was a very close friend to one of my friends (Lorenzo Aguilar). Lorenzo would always speak very fondly of Carlos and considered him as a brother. We would often be in conversation together. I often think of him as very good acquaintance.

My sincere condolences to all the family. Being born in Weslaco, I knew him and his siblings well. We were all very good friens. We went to St Joan of Arc and then to Weslaco jr.High and then to High School. He was a wonderful person and a very good dancer. I feel very sad but I know he is in a better place. Love you all, Mary (Rosario)
