Charlie, Bobby, and Miguel, my sincerest condolences and I pray that God gives you comfort to know that my Tio is now with my Tia which is all he ever wanted. I have fond memories of how he patiently sat there and explained the game of football to me, even though I know I was bugging him with every question I asked and how he taught me the difference between at '55 and a '57 Chevy and how NEVER to by a Ford. I have a lot of respect for both him and my Tia because they lived their lives the way they wanted to. May he now rest peacefully.

I love you guys and I'm here if ever you need anything.
