The memories of shared moments and encouragement clearly left a lasting impression. It’s beautiful to keep that connection alive in my thoughts, even as you have moved forward in your resting place. Forever in my thoughts Deloria letter Q!

my favorite memory of my Uncle was at my high school graduation. He was my photographer, he took so many pictures but i wish  i had one with him. he was so proud and happy for me, he blessed me with a $50 bill, which was a lot back in da days… lol
he didn’t want me to be a statistic and end up on the streets so he was very tough on my siblings and i, i mean tough love👊🏾 he didn’t spare the rod!! his tough love taught me real love and forgiveness.. He taught my husband how to be a hard working man, and how actions speak louder than words. t”ThankYou Uncle Big Piney for giving James a chance in the refinery, You opened that door for so many people. my famILY and i will forever miss you Uncle Pesa 💙
we Love and Honor You. 
Good night Uncle Pesa, 
we’ll see you in the morning.

I met Pesa in 2018 as a casual longshoremen we were both the letter Q . He would always encourage to try jobs at least once and he was always there to motivate me when I didn’t feel like doing the job. Pesa always talked about his family especially his children to me and life at the refinery of course. When he finally got in as an ID he would always smile and give me a hug and say your time is coming be patient. He will be forever missed and always remember as my Buddy Pesa In Letter “Q” Rest well ! My prayers and condolences go out to the family and I pray for strength during this difficult time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Perry aka. "Pineapple" will be greatly missed by his oil worker family. Perry and I had some great memories working together in Southern and Northern California and even a fun job in Hawaii. Perry was an OG of the trade and a rare breed. His vast knowledge and kind heart was bar none. Much love uce! 

Your braddah...Kalani Cobb
