I still think of you often, you were my brother in-law and one of the smartest persons I knew. Always wondering how far you would have gone in the dept. Thank you , for all you gave up. My sister Gilda missed you so much as did the kids. But even today when I speak of you , I hold my head up high with pride and a full heart and tell everyone my brother in-law was with the SAPD.
