I would like to share some of the sayings and lessons my grandpa has shared many times with me:


La Trucha

When I was younger my grandpa told me to be like la trucha.  I was confused when he first said this and asked my uncle what la trucha meant.   He told me to look it up but that it was a trout.

My grandpa told me that La Trucha wasn't just a fish that it is a very wise fish.  He told me to always be wise like La Trucha


Another lesson I learned from my grandpa is to be a hard worker


Hard Work

One day we were sitting in one of his favorite restaurants, Goveas, and my dad had brought up that I need to get a job.  My grandpa told me that in order to be successful in any job that you have to start off at the bottom and with hard work you make it to the top.  He told me to get a good education because he said that would help me get a good job and to always remember that the lazy man will always work twice as hard.


Don't Worry Be Happy

One of my favorite sayings my grandpa told me was don't worry be happy.  Anytime I was sad or upset about something he would say don't worry be happy.... you got it Toyota.  It would always make me feel better 


I am glad that I could share my grandpa's life lessons with his friends and family.  Thank you for coming to celebrate the amazing life my Grandfather, RAMON DURAN, made for himself, his family and everyone around him.

Nino,
You hold a very special place in my heart. You treated me as a daughter, and I loved you like a father. I know that you are finally enjoying your retirement, because you no longer have any doctor appointments... I will miss your words of wisdom, your kindness, and your generosity.

To the Duran Family my deepest heart felt condolences to you.. my fondest memories r doing them side jobs with You, my uncle Ramiro, n yours sons... May you rest in peace BIG RAY

Padrino, Thank you for your friendship,  generosity, and hospitality, throughout the years.  You always made me feel at home at your house.   Especially thank you for your friendship with my Dad at the end of his life, Today is the 12 year anniversary of his death.  You reminded me a lot of him.  He too was a hard working family man, with a special needs son.  Also, thank you for your friendship with my Mom these past 12 years, she always liked having conversations with you.  If you see my Dad John and brother Ronnie up there tell them hi for me. Que Dios te bendiga!

You've been such a blessing in my life & to my family through out many, many years.

I'll miss you but, with the faith that I carry I'll be sure to be strong and smile as I know that you aren't far away and are watching over your many loved ones and me.  

May you rest in peace padrino and please give my family members in the heavens with you a big tight hug.  Don't you worry yourself as I will make sure that the tears my nina sheds are those from the good times & joy we shared at your house.  BUUUUUUENAS

I will always remember Tio Ramon as a solid figure of respect, admiration, and wisdom in the family. He loved life and love to share himself with others. Perhaps the greatest memory I will always cherish is his ability go give subtle yet powerful advice to others. Although I hadn't spoken to him as often as I would have liked, the few times I had I can say he made a very lasting and positive impression on my life. I will never forget his words of wisdom. He will be very dearly missed; and, very fondly remembered. -Marc and Cristina Araujo

Dearest Ramon,

I will always remember you as one of the sweetest, kind-hearted and giving men I have ever known.  I will be forever grateful for the way you loved Max and Sam and taught them to love others and to always help others in need.  I feel blessed that I had you in my life.  Please give Juan a big hug from us.  Love Lisa. Max and Samantha❤
