Papa,Thank you
Thank you for being so authentically you,and saying exactly what you meant  & not caring what anyone thought. Because of this you give me the courage to speak up & to be myself.
Thank you for holding me accountable and leaving me countless voicemails you would say “Caballero,where you at!? You said you’d be here at 9am...yeah right!”
 Because of this I learned to take responsibility for the things I say & do. 
Thank you for bringing unconditional love into my childhood,and giving me beautiful memories to cherish forever.
Because of this I will try my best to do the same for my children.
Thank you for always reassuring me,and listening to me blab about who knows what. You taught me to dream and to believe in myself enough to follow my dreams..
What brings me peace is knowing you are no longer in pain,no more terrible hospital food,no more surgeries or dialysis. 
Papa thank you-
For the many ways you blessed this family,your legacy holds a very special place in all of our hearts.I Love you papa! 
-your grand daughter,

To Gilbert,  You will always be remembered and in our hearts forever.  

Gilbert has been the best brother in law to me.  He captured my sister Cathy's heart when I was just five years old and I have been part of their growing family ever since. He loved our large family and became part of us.  He stood by Alex and I, as we married, as the best man. That's how wonderful and loving he always was.  

The memories are vast and full of fun adventures,  life's greatest blessings and hardships too.  He always showed concern and was a man of action.   He is cherished and forever part of our village we call family.  Standing together this village will truly miss him and honor his memory.   
With all our love, Monica and Alex 

Compa,I'm going to miss you. You were not only a fantastic neighbor,but you were also one of my very best friends. I'll always remember the great times we had fishing, golfing,and our " world famous" poker games... After a few beers ( and sometimes a shot of tequila or two), we would solve all of the worlds problems.  There are very few men I've met in my life that had as much true love in their heart for his wife and family.... He was so proud of you all. To say that the world will not be the same without GILLY is a great understatement...  Someday in the future, I'll see you again my friend.... And I call you my friend with great pride.... Your entire family is and always will be in my prayers. Until We meet again Amigo .....  Jim Bennett

Dear Gilbert,
Over the years we have shared so many awesome memories with our families and friends.  We became compadres when we baptized baby Cathy.  Over the years we went on many camping trips together and fun day escapes to the casinos.  We even took a trip to Hawaii together; a trip we'll never ever forget,

One of our last day escapes was a drive to Oceanside Beach. We started with breakfast,  Then we walked the pier.  Later, of course we had ice cream.  Then we drove to the casino, gambled awhile and then had dinner at comp's favorite restaurant.  

Gilbert, you have been a true friend as well as a compadre.  During our darkest hours you and Cathy were always there for us.  We will never forget you.

Love you,
Steve and Linda

One year at campland, while everyone was asleep. It was about 6-7am.. my papa and I cracked open a beer and talked for a good while. He shared so many awesome stories with me. A moment I’ll cherish forever. ❤️
