My sincere condolences to the Macias family. Your dad will not be forgotten - and I will never forget his laugh - and his love for the Giants. He was a lifelong, faithful friend to my dad Andy and my mom Juanita whom he called everyday on my dad's birthday and the anniversary of his death - which by the way was also March 3rd! Two lifelong friends now reunited in glory!
God bless each and everyone one of you.
