Aniel, was a very friendly wonderful man who always said “Hello and how’s your family?”  whenever we saw each other shopping.  The last time we saw each other was at the Rancho Del Rey Home Depot when he  and his wife Becky were shopping for some paints. I couldn’t believe that it would be the last.
Aniel was a good friend, classmate and a fellow United States Navy Veteran.  May you Rest In Peace. 

To the family brother Gamaliel, please accept my sincere condolences.  May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Becky, my thoughts are with you and the family for the passing of Aniel. Seeing you both at fundraising events & at our mutual friends’ pad, I never thought the dinner invite last October in your beautiful home will be the last meal & chat with him. He was in his good & happy mood & that cheerful moment is what I will remember most. May his soul Rest In Peace. For you baket, please take care of yourself because you have the family & friends who love you. 

Thankful to God for your friendship Aniel! I will miss our conversations and just hanging out listening to the oldies/goody songs of the past. You have a kind and generous heart.  Tessie and I will miss you immensely! Until we meet again! Tessie and I and our family send our prayers, our love to Becky and family. 

Was Station together in the Navy Newport Rhode Island.  Our Condolences to the family.

My wife , Josie and I knew Aniel in many high school reunions. that Aniel and his wife , Becky had attended . Most memorable for me was when I attended one of the weekly gathering of mostly retired navy and other  guys from other services such as the army for me.  I saw the good person and  brave side of   Aniel who depended me from being  bad mouth by "a candidate Trump follower" who basically called me "stupid" in front of 10 people at Starbucks in Plaza Bonita. When Aniel and others  heard the bad language being used against me,  Aniel stood up to depend me. Aniel told the foul mouth guy that beside being in the army service, I am also retired licensed professional mechanical engineer. The bad mouth guy shut up and stop shaming me in public.Aniel, my friend and high school Co graduate, I sincerely  appreciate your heroic action to depend me against that foul mouth  guy. Thank you so much for being a brave guy and depended me in that senseless situation and I will remember your heroic act for as long as I live. May God bless and grant repose to your soul and may you rest in peace with our Lord God Jesus Christ  in heaven.  Sincere  symphaty and deep condolences  to your good family.  Amen. Ping and Josie Arellano
