Celestino and I went to school together until the 7th grade, he skipped 8th and was placed in 9th grade. He were very close all thru our Donna school career. I attended Pan American College and he went on to Southwest Texas State. He was my dearest friend and a big borther who protected me from the school bullies. Cele was always kind, caring and was admired and respected for his scholarly and sport skills. I moved to Ohio and than Washington, DC and continued our friendship. RIP carnal, to Aurora, and his children, family and friends, my most sincere condolences and I will miss you.

RIP my dear friend until we all meet again. You were a gentle man with a big heart for everyone you came in contact with. I thank the good Lord that he allowed our paths to cross.
