My Uncle Julian 

What I remember about my uncle was when he saw me he would say your one of Jennie"s girls.  

He had the gift of making you feel special when he talked to you.  

He had a love for his family and it showed.

Rest in Peace Tio.




Our deepest sympathy goes out to the
Mendez Family. No words can’t express how sorry we are for your loss.  May he Rest In Peace.

Wow, 91 
My Dad lived a good life. He would be the first one to let you know. We’ve had plenty of time to make memories, that’s for sure. One of many happy memories was him seeing me have my children. 
The funniest memory was our trip to Hawaii where Mom had never been on a plane, she was scared. But Dad was ready like always. Busy taking photos of the hula girls & Mom getting worked up. He loved swimming out to the reef with Freddie & looking at all the colored fish. Dad enjoyed swimming in general. He took many trips to Huntington Beach with Uncle Marcos & his family. They always took a swim before they started barbecuing. Always good food & fun. We will surely miss our beers together, but we’ll carry on. 
“Ready for a cold one?”
Rest In Peace Dad ❤️
We love you, 
Pat & family
Popeye I am going to miss you

What could I say about my Great Uncle. He was always like a Father to me when I was growing up. He kind of straightened me up when I was growing up and we had a lot of conversations when I was going down the wrong path. There was never a true friend like my, Uncle and person I've ever had in my life. The best memory I've ever had about him is when I asked him if he would be my partner in a fishing tournament in Los Cabos and didn't hesitate to say yes but had to clear it with his boss ( My TIA  Margaret) I had to soften her a bit first. 
God did we have some fun for 5 days. I still have that memory of him catching fish and drinking beers the last 2 days he got sick the first day fishing. But after that be killed it fishing and was like a kid trying to catch the 1st Wahoo to win the tournament. Dam was he so happy when he hooked up with one and lost it. On the last day I remembered when we were sitting by the pool with all the team and our team leader gave all of us a Havana cedar and he told me don't say anything to my aunt. God I'm going to miss him. He was a great uncle, Friend and partner who guided me in my life. I'll miss him

Grandpa, From The ocean to the Azusa canyon to June Lake, fishing with you from when I was very little up to a few years ago to our last family trip to Mammoth and June Lake will be the most fond and proud memories I will always cherish, you thought me the most about it. Being up in the Canyon when a Bear came from across the river and you kept calm and said to stay calm and for us to get the hell out of there. Going on our little trips to Quick Buy  Azusa City Liqour to get your scratchers or Home Depot to buy more wood or more of what you needed. When I would walk into the back gate everyday from St Francis of Rome and you would ask me if I was playing Hookie. Putting part of our Walkway next to the driveway in. Teaching me everything you knew. You will be always there next to me in my ear. All your little sayings  will always remain. Thank You for being my Birtday Buddy for 32 years. They won’t be the same without you. Life won’t be the same without you. You will be surely missed. 

My heart goes out to the family.
 It has been many years since I last saw Julian and the family. I will always remember my father Manuel talking about him and all the things they did. They were good friends up until my father past last year. I remember when I was a kid and going over to the house to visit. Like all kids we all went to the park or to the school to play and sometimes got into trouble. It was fun times and something I will never forget. 
Life is very short and we should always try to stay in touch with family and friends. Julian and my dad Manuel will be reminiscing about the past and watching down on us as they are in a better place. 
I pray for the family in their time of grief and hope for the best.

Michael Rosales and family


Let’s see where do I start. I remember when I stood over my uncles house. I was between 11-12 years old and we did what kids do get in trouble. That day we snuck in to the golf course Steven and Mike we’re going to show me how to play golf. Well I went first and hit the ball then it was Steve’s turn and he hit the ball and clobbered me on the head with a golf club. There was blood everywhere and we went back to the house and showed my uncle. My uncle gave Steve A (trancazo) , then he looked at my head. He said it’s only a flesh wound just put pressure and the bleeding. No stitches required. To this day I’ve never played golf. When we would go over often times the adults would gather up and talk together and the kids will go play but he would make it a habit of coming over and talking to us and we have a conversation. I remember my uncle made click Clack‘s and he also made a fishing pole holder with a buzzard on it to this day I still have it. I want to end that he is in the great feast of our Lord and with some of his love ones.

Uncle Julian was an awesome man and a courteous neighbor!

I will always remember the smile on his face when he arrived home after a ride on the “Goldline”.   It was his first and only “Goldline” ride.  He was very tired from that trip, yet he said he was “glad to have lived to do so”.

The enthusiasm he had for life and God was infectious!

Julian’s zest for life was displayed through his family traits. His love, care, support and providing security for his family is a true legacy.

Rest in peace uncle!

Love,
Anna & Art
