My condolences to all his family. Mr. Anchondo was always kind when I used to go and hang around with his son when I was young. Thank you very much for always making me feel welcomed. 
Sincerely, Ricardo Meza

Mr Anchondo,  would always come over to where I’d be sitting at our family’s gathering to make me feel I was welcome. I’ll will miss our visits. He was always full of joy and energy. I remember how it amused me. I will never forget the stories he shared with me about family.  RIP

Gene Anchondo taught with the EPCC Senior Adult Program and performed throughout El Paso performing and directing the Senior Rythmics Band.

Grandpa and Grandson Having too much fun.  Thank God they had quality time.

One of the things I will remember most about my nino is how dapper he always looked.  He was always doing something with his hands whether it was building little things for the house, my Nina, or his students, updating his home, or of course playing his music.  I always looked forward to him pulling out his guitar at family functions because I loved to hear him sing and play.  He told me he wanted to leave a part of himself behind in this world through his music by teaching as many people as possible how to play guitar.  As a private instructor, as well as an EPCC instructor, he certainly accomplished that goal.  That is his legacy and I’m proud that a local legend ended up being my nino.  I’ll never forget the time he and my Nina took me to go see Fats Domino in concert.  He was on cloud 9 watching one of his idols live.  I’ll also remember how he loved to cheer on the UTEP basketball team.  It was always so much fun to go to the games with him.  Just recently he wanted to be sure the family knew our complete history.  So with his creativity, he put together a presentation to share with all of us.  I’m glad he was able to do that before going to be with our Lord.   Rest in peace Nino! You will be missed and forever in my heart.

You will be greatly missed Tio!  I always loved hearing your stories and listening to your music.  Rest in Paradise Tio, hug my Mom and Dad and Tia's for me.  I love you Tio!

You will be greatly missed Tio.  I always loved hearing your stories and listening to your music.  Here are some pictures I got from my Mom.  Love you Tio!

I will miss your singing 
I will miss hearing you call me your “artisita”.   You made me always feel special 
I love you Tio
