I remember "mi tio" Simon when I was a little girl in the 1970's.  Victoria Medina was my grandmother; she and mi tio Simon were cousins.  I learned to call him "mi tio Simon" by my mom Maria Viramontes better known as "La Chata".  He spent many times with my parents.  I'll always appreciate the help he gave my parents.  My parents relocated from Los Angeles, CA in the early '70s to Santa Ana, CA.  Mi tio helped my parents with the purchase of their 1st home which was about 1 street away from mi tio's house on Camille St.  in Santa Ana.  My parents were very young and not well informed so he helped them out tremendously.  He was always there when they needed help with repairs to our home.  He would never dare take any money for the work he did; he would just ask that in return my father help him out with his own home repairs.  When ever he visited he always had good stories to tell and yes he always would bring up "La Villita".  I never did get to see La Villita but he and my grandmother made it seem to be such a beautiful place. I loved listening to them talk about their old days and life experiences.  Tio Simon, you will be missed

HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED, SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, WITH OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY. EDDIE AND ELIZABETH BILL AND FAMILY.
