Tio Leonel. Muchas Gracias por dejarme tan bonitos Recuerdos.siempre lo voy a llevar en mi Corazon.que descanse en paz. lo voy a extrañar. Love You .

Tío Lionel, I have a lot of great memories of you as the father of my favorite cousins.  As a kid one tends to live in the moment and not understand everything that is happening. What I did understand was that spending time with you my Tia and cousins meant I was going have a fun time!  I was so excited about visiting that I would take a 3 hour bus ride to get to your house.  Great times visiting or cruising in the Mustang or road trip with too many people in the bubble top van.  Thanks for the memories.

Don Jose, mi consentido, was admired, loved and respected by his peers.  I will miss his mischievous smile and giggles.  We all learned from Jose that it is never too late to live life to the fullest.  He overcame many life challenges and because of this  I would always encourage him to write a book about his life.   He taught us all so many lessons about life.  I consider myself fortunate to have been a part of his life's journey.  


I remember sharing stories with Jose for several years as we transported him to appointment. His sense of humor and wit are still sharp in my mind. He was direct with his critiques but forgiving when we ran a little behind or things became complicated. Jose always was focused on what was right for those all around him. He will be missed.
