    I have only the finest of memories of Gordo, though I have not seen him in years. I will remember him as one of the kindest men I have ever known. My deepest symposia go to his entire family. Rest in peace, friend.

    You were always there when anyone needed help. You had a big heart and your family and kids miss you terribly. You have left big shoes to fill. I’ll carry your spirit with me. See you on the other side, you were always like my older brother and I’ll always miss you. This shouldn’t have happened
