I loved how now matter the distance or time flew by He never forgot my birthday, always called at 6am, early for me.. but I still loved it.

He always reminded me he was my father and not my stepdad.

Next one not a favorite but something I always remember..

When I was younger he got me a clown doll for Halloween, when I looked up at it, it scared me because that’s after IT and killer clowns was popular lol kinda funny memory.I loved from him and Mom came a huge family 💕 (Nikki)

He would always call me on my bday at 7am to tell me Happy bday and he loves us. When I would call him I asked how are you? Do you need anything? He would say beer and a woman. When I was little he would sit on his lazy boy and I would sit on the floor between his legs and we would watch tv and I would rub my hands against his hands I love to feel the roughness on his hands and he would let me as long as I wanted to. On his birthday he knew I would make him chocolate cake but he would still ask me are you going to bring me cake.(Blanca)

I remember when we were little at Escalone house he would wake up on Sundays and make breakfast for all his kiddos and at noon he would sit down and watch the Dallas Cowboys game. I also remember him sitting in his truck listening to music Augustine Ramierez, Vicente Fernandez. Little joe and many more but I was the bartender at the window. (Chole)

I will always remember my dad when we were young he would take us to the lake and give us rides on his boat and we had to wear our orange life vest. Always had friends over & there friends. He would take us to the park and buying us Churxh’s Chicken. He would let me stay home from school as long as I cleaned the house -(Libby)

My dad was always concerned about us and worked so hard to support the family and would always tell us he loved us. (Paula) 

I remember my grandpa going to visit us in Corpus Christi and I would say grandpa grandpa he would turn and walk towards me and say you call me Joe “G DAMMIT” Joe lol because we were at the beach and there were girls around.
