I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace in your hearts. Please accept my condolences. I have been looking for this family for years.

My deepest condolences to my bestest friend Layla. I love you. 

Red, my all time favorite memory of you is when I first met you as a friend of your beautiful daughter Layla. You welcomed me with open arms into your home and made me laugh hysterically! You were always such a joy to be around. You will be missed. 
Also my mom joined you up there recently. Her name is patty. Take care of eachother in heaven.  

“ I just wanna be able to see your face forever” , I’ll never forget those words coming from a 73 year old man who still had his daughter 1 year old picture in his wallet. Yeah that would be my dad he loved me so much and I absolutely adored him. I couldn’t ask for a better dad honestly . I love you dad whole bunches, the love you gave can’t be forgotten or compared. Nobody will light up when I walk in the room like you did. With me forever you will be. 

Meeting my brother in  law , Dave came with Rosie to Madera to meet my parents. At that time they lived in San Jose. 
  Like I said Rosie was coming home to visit and I don't know if she said anything to anyone but she brought Dave with her I remember someone saying Rosie's home. I was in the living room got up off the sofa and the opened in the  dining room and Rosie came in and right behind her followed a tall Red Headed guy with long hair. I thought who was that with Rosie and it was clear who he was because he has a gift in his hand and walked directly up to my my mom and said, "Hi mom", gave her a kiss on her right cheek at that time my father  watching all along look at Dave and Dave turned to him shook his hand and introduced himself to my dad and said nice to meet you sir. 
 Dave made a good  a good impression with both my parents. It was surprising to see that my dad like him . He was smiling at Dave as Dave  introduced himself.
 I have never to this day ever seen anyone show such respect and carry themselves like my brother Dave did that evening. He was so respectful and polite to my mom. It was the nicest  greeting I ever seen in my life and I am yet to see one that could compare. I like him instantly . He treated my mom like see was royalty. You had to be there. Forme it was a feeling of pride the way he was with my mother. Dave you are a gentleman above all that I have ever known. He is the nicest man you could ever meet , giving, caring,genuine and as real as real can get. My brother in law was like my other brothers he is my brother and I will miss him forever. I LOVE you with all that I am and will ever be "Big Red". 
  God rest you soul and rest in heaven's peace. 
      Your  brother,
                     Ruben

My cousin Dave was a great guy. I remember as a little kid we would drive from Pacifica to visit my Aunt Vi and Uncle Jim in San Jose. Dave was older than us but we would love when he came by his parents house while we were there. He was the awesome cousin that would ride up on his Harley. He once took my little brother and I snipe hunting in the hills. We each had a burlap sack and Dave told us to beat sticks on the ground until they jumped in the sack. More recently Dave moved up to Tuolumne County and we were able to see him again. He was always laughing and joking around. A few years back my parents started having health problems and Dave had moved into a room in their house and vowed to help them out as long as they needed him to. He wanted to help them out because they had helped him out at one point in the past. My dad passed and Dave kept his promise as he stayed with my mom until health issues required both Dave and my mom to leave the house. I know his last days were spent with his daughter Layla and her family and I believe it was great for him to be “home”.
You will be missed Dave and my brothers and I thank you for taking such good care of Mom and Dad . Maybe we’ll meet up again in heaven. So long cousin.
