Tio Juan was the most patient man I have ever known. He loved everyone especially his children. Any place that I would run into him, he always had time to talk and ask how I was
doing. Tio you will be greatly missed. I know there was a party in heaven when you arrived!! My heart aches for his wife, children, and loved ones. Rest in peace. Love your niece, carol vasquez
