Grandpa, 
It feels like a dream that you are not with us anymore. In all the different memories I have with you, I cannot think of ONE bad one. You were always able to make everyone smile and crack jokes while giving a small smirk :) Although you may have physically left us here on earth, your spirit will always live on through all of those who loved and cared about you. I know we never had a proper "good-bye" before you moved onto the next life, but that's because I will one day walk beside you in paradise. I love you Gramps.

Big Brother.,
Te as marchado pero vaz a dejar una huella muy profunda en mi corazon, siempre voy a recordarte como amigo, companero, hermano y hasta como padre. Pero donde quiera que estes, que estoy seguro que en el cielo, siempre vas a estar en mi recuerdo y mi corazon, y que diosito te tenga en su santa gloria y que tu alma descanze en paz, se que nos volveremos a ver cuando dios se apiade de mi. 
Te quiero.,
Tu hermano "PELITOS".

Grandpa,
Though I can no longer see or hear you, I know you will always be with me. You live on in my memories and will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything you did for this family. You were the perfect example of what it means to be a hardworker not just as a professional but as a family man. A quality I strive to have. I love you grandpa. 

Love, 
Josh


It breaks me heart to know my grandpa is gone. He would always take me to McDonalds after school and we would play on the IPads that they had there. It’s gonna be really hard to go on with life without him. He will forever be in my heart. I love you Grandpa, see you soon!

“Even as the sand falls,
Even as time runs out,
Even if we can’t turn things back, 
It’s okay, okay.
Even when the sand finishes falling,
Even when time stops,
Only the memories will be by your side.

Thank you for the memories.
They make me smile. I’ll try to live well,
I’ll become a better person.”

I was honored to have had this man in my life. A grandpa, a friend, a coworker, and a role model. 

"El Charlie boys!" was always the warm welcome he gave me when he saw me and was always joking around subtly and sarcastically; quietly enjoying the family's company. Always appreciated that from him since most believed him to be a serious person. One of the hardest working people I knew even up until a few months, he even made me made me look lazy haha.. but was never judgemental or criticizing and always said the right things to make you smile. I'm going to miss that..

Definitely a man of few words, but great people dont have to say much. Those around will speak for him...

I'll see you later Gramp,
El Charlie Boys


To our dearest grandpa,
      you left behind a lot of great memories starting with you whistling outside all the time. You never complained about anything. I can't remember you ever sitting down, you were always working so hard. You inspired me to always work hard for my family. You will always live in our hearts.

                                   Love always, 
                                          Nuvia  

Dear Gramps,

I miss you already and I’m never going to forget all the great lessons and talks we had. This one is tough because I saw you as a big role model for me. I enjoyed getting to the shop and seeing you work. It wasn’t work for you, you were just happy being around family and kicking it with us.  “Una coronita gramp?” I’ll have one with you very soon..

Love,
Woody

Dearest Grandpa, 

It’s hard to believe that you’re no longer with us, but I find comfort in knowing you can now rest peacefully.  I’ll always remember your playful spirit and how you could never seem to stay put. You were always a hardworking man and I admired that about you. I enjoyed watching you sit down to read your newspaper and drink your “cafécito” or complete your crossword puzzles at the kitchen table. You made everyone around you feel welcomed and it was always a pleasure to be in your company. We all love you and will miss you very much. Until we meet again...

Love, 
Sandy

Grandpa,
            I will always cherish the memories I have spending time with you. Talking over a beer in your backyard, going out in the desert to shoot your rifle, driving to three different stores just for some tortillas and a soda. I'm thankful to have had such a wonderful grandfather. I saw the way your daughters loved and adored you, and I strive everyday to be the kind, loving, hardworking father that you, my dad and uncles have led me to become. I will always have you in my heart and I thank the Lord everyday for this wonderful family that we have. Just as I know you always did. Love your grandson, "El Jegere"


Hi grandpa, It breaks my heart to accept reality that I can't just give you a call to hear your voice or stop by to just see you anymore. I thank God he gave me such a wonderful, hardworking, good hearted and kind remodel in my life for as long as he did. I'm grateful for all the years I had with you. I remember giving you a hard time as a kid from having you split me and my brother up on the drive home from school so we wouldn't fight to me always wanting to be in your tool shed "helping" you work or always wanting to repaint your gates on the windows and spring doors of your house and there we would go, off to the store just to get some paint to make me happy. We'd stop by McDonald's first though because you wanted me to have enough energy so I wouldn't stop half ways as always haha oops. As selfish as it sounds I wish I could of had you here with me forever but I know God needed his Angel back. I love you so much and will forever cherish every moment we had and spent together. You will always be in my heart Gramp, I hope we meet again.

Love, 

                        Salyna Ortiz 

Grandpa, You always knew how to light up a room. It hurts me to know I won’t be able to hear your voice or see you again but I’m thankful to God that he allowed me these many years to spend with you. I’ll forever cherish every memory, from when you’d pick me up from school to when you’d stop by my house some evenings and drop off a chocolate Nesquick because you knew that was my favorite. I loved being around you, you inspired me how hardworking and kind you were to everyone. I love you so much grandpa, and your spirit is forever with me.
