My father JOSEPH CANO FLORES was at home with all of us FLORES kids in Oracle, Arizona when we received the news of cousin Eloy, getting shot, I had never seen my dad cry so much, besides the time when his brother, my uncle Jimmy Flores and his whole family died in a car accident. Cousin Eloy all the way to just before my father's death he spoke of you both as U.S. Marines and the love you both shared for God, Corps and Country.
Rest in peace cousin Eloy .
