I’ve known the family since I was 6. They’ve always been a 2nd family to me and Mr. Salinas has always been a father figure to me. He always called me by last name because it was so “white” and always tried to make me yawn when I saw him. He always had jokes and tried his best to bring a smile to anyone he met. My heart truly aches that he is gone, but I know he will always be with us. I love you all!
