I am truly sorry for your loss and the loss of a man who was quiet, but strong and generous. He was someone you could count on. We really enjoyed his visits with Susy every time they came to visit . My husband Freddy and he used to hang out whenever they were here. Freddy always spoke of the good times they had together. I lost Freddy in 2009. I know they will be together and enjoy each other's company along with my brother Pablo. There will be an empty space in our lives now that he is not here with us.
