Where does one even begin to recount the cherished memories of my Father-in-law, Manuel? I shall endeavor to do so now. Should you ever have been in need of assistance, of any kind, regardless of the hour, day or night, he would invariably be there for you. This, of course, was contingent upon his favorable disposition towards you. Conversely, if he did not hold you in high regard, he would ensure that you, and indeed everyone else, were well aware of it. I had the privilege of meeting him nearly 25 years ago, not long after the passing of my own father. Consequently, I regarded him not merely as my wife's father, but I loved him as a true paternal figure. I will deeply miss the moments we shared, such as sitting on the porch during Halloween, distributing candy and sharing laughter at the costumes, all while we consumed more confections than we dispensed. Another fond memory involves racing electric shopping carts around Sam's Club; I am fortunate that I never collided with anything. Regrettably, the same cannot be said for Manuel. Until we meet again, Dad! 🏁

For the Family of a great friend and co worker.  I learned so much from chili pepper over our 35 year friendship.

RIP brother,  you're loved by many and never forgotten.
