Reynaldo served his country in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam. Our father was a very honorable man who took pride in everything he did.

The family wishes to thank all the people who have supported us with prayers during this time. Daddy, we love you and carry you in our hearts, forever. "Qu Vo" - "Take it Away" May the Road rise to meet you, May the Wind be always at your back. May the Sunshine warm upon your face, May the Rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
