My condolences to the Cantu family on their loss of their son and brother. I have al lot of memories of growing up with BB at Holy Rosary and playing baseball at Holy Family with Carlos, Hector, Billie, Manuel, Bobbie and others. When I saw BB last summer at our 40th high school reunion we reminisced about our baseball days at HF.

It had been a long time since I had seen AC or my other Central brothers but I remember him fondly. My condolences to his family, he will be missed by many.

It recently learned of BB's passing in an email sent to my sister, Linda,  by someone from our old childhood neighborhood.  No words can express our sorrow for your loss.  Mr. and Mrs. Cantu, and Gilbert, may you find peace reminiscent of the memories you hold deep within your hearts of your wonderful son and brother.  May God's comfort be with you during you.  We love you.  Denise Contreras-Phelan, Linda Contreras-Salinas, and mother, Fara Victoria Contreras - San Antonio, Texas

We used to play basketball (1966-1968) in bb,s back yard.BB had to put that big German Shepard away or if we did not jump the fence in time it could bite our leg off! Also Mr. Cantu would let us watch star trec in color on their Zenith.

Deepest condolences to the Cantu Family and all his CC brothers who were out in force to Celbrate his Life. While there I was his only HC comrad and I felt very comfortable cuz BB was there in spirit. Hadn't remembered I had so many CC camaradas. BB my fondest memories playing stick ball with you,Gil and my brother Marc on Honey Jay. You and Gil invented the Loma Park rosin bag only thing it didn't have rosin but the sock full of harina worked just fine. Also when you and your CC road dogs shouted out Squeak!! in the LA Forum at a Spur and Laker contest, the good times at A Taste of Texas. Mi Amigo. Vaya con Dios. Until we meet again. Squeak
