Genaro was in my fifth grade class at El Rio School. I would like his family to know he was a brave, warm, kind person and there was something about him that made you trust and like him. He stuck up for other people around him. I have carried his memory with me over all these years and I was sad to read this news. Please know that he touched my life and I know he made a tremendous difference in the world. I hope one day to sit and visit with one day beneath that huge tree that once shaded the playground there at El Rio Elementary School.

I just came across this news today. So Gomez has gone to a better place, after making our world a better one. I knew Gomez since 2007 and what a character...he brightened my days for sure. I cannot imagine what his family and friends and coworkers must be going through. Sweet dreams, Gomez...until we meet again.
