Denver Broncos and BYU were his favorite football teams.  He loved watching boxing and the Jazz.  He also loved hunting with his brothers, boys and grandsons.

We would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of Davis Hospital for all you did for Jesus,  You guys gave it your all but it was not meant to be.  Thank you for taking care of our large family in our time of sorrow.  We all appreciate all that you did.

Thank you to family and friends for being with us in our time of need.  Thank you for your kind and comforting words, hugs, kisses, food, help and especially your love.  God Bless.

Chuy,  you were part  of my life for over 53 years.  I don’t know what I’m going to do without you.  I’ll be OK,  Rest in peace for you gave me our greatest treasure our children and they will take good care of me.   Walk just beyond the moon stop and wait for me.

To my family:  When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not here to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me.  I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.  I know how much you love me as much as I love you and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.  When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart..

A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2016 at 9 am at St Mary’s Catholic Church, 450 S  3900 W, West  Haven.  Brunch will follow at the church.
