Wow its hard for me to grasp with miguel only being a few months older than me.i moved to south side in 81.Met miguel at bus stop and became friends pretty quick.He introduced me to alot of my friends in the neighborhood.I spent alot of time at the olivero house.I got a few memories ill never forget.Once a week in class one of us would say ‘ok how much you got’.we would pull our money out and see who had the most .He always won lol.Another time were in my garage and my mom asked one of us to close the garage door.Miguel did but hit the new hot water heater and knocked it over and dented it a little which wasnt a big deal.Miguel reached for his wallet to pay for it and take it home.Mom wouldnt let him lol.             I love you and gonna miss ya brother

Miguel you was a good friend I have so many memories with you but the one I remember the most is the time you and Gary and me and a few more buddy’s were in a fishing boat and your crazy ass chased a beaver up stream for like 2 miles until the beaver couldn’t swim anymore he got out of the river and you’re crazy ass drove that lil boat of yours right next to him getting the boat stuck in the mud right next to that angry beaver scared the crap out of me then I’ll never forget what you said to me jump out and push us back in the water while I was face to face with that angry beaver and this is just one of many crazy stories I have with you brother I could go on and on
