I remember visiting him at his ranch and having half a lemon to dip in sugar as a treat to beat the heat. My brothers and sisters enjoyed trips out there as well.  He was a wonderful Great Uncle.

I remember a couple of trips to his Ranch when I was little. I remember a horse, and an oil pump being on the property. I remember we would dare each other to touch the electric fence that kept the horse penned in. He was a kind man from what I recall. I wish I had gotten to know him better.

I remember that trip as well and it was a huge hog and yes we were scared of it the pig we took out there was a black and white pig and my dad thinks it had escaped from the slaughter house that was close to our house I remember every one chasing it all over the block and when we finally caught it my dad used his belt to make a leash then they decided to take it out to uncle Juans farm I wish over the years we had spent more time out there but I will say those hogs were huge the size of a cow lol 

you will be missed Uncle Juan I hope you are holding your sister in your arms in heaven give her a hugs from us we will miss you both forever 
Love your Great Niece Dorothy

One memory that I can always recall is when I was a child of 4 or 5 years of age, going to visit Uncle Juan at his Ranch to deliver a pig we had acquired earlier in the year.  I remember walking up the trail that lead to the pens and seeing the biggest 'Hog' I have ever seen in my young life,  Forget the fact that it was my first 'hog' I had ever seen, but that 'hog' was as big as a Volkswagen Van.  (It may have been that at that age everything was huge but from what I recall that 'Hog' was huge)... 

Sure I had seen piglets and pigs before but I was in awe over that hog.  I remember Uncle Juan joking that he could put a saddle on it and we could ride her if we wanted too...(I'm sure he was joking)
 I stood 5 feet away shaking my head 'no'.  No matter how in-awe I was over that huge hog he nor my parents or siblings could convince me of getting near that hog.  I wasn't about to get that close...  

You will be missed Uncle Juan but the memories that we have will always keep you close to our hearts... 
Love always, Your Great Niece AnnaMarie
