Sad to hear about his passing, my father Damacio Soto worked with him while farming and our family was neighbors. We have such fond memories of those days. Before my fathers passing he always shared memories of them working together on Mr Byrds farm. Again my sincere condolences to the family.
I miss and love you so much daddy. It’s hard to believe you are gone. I wish we could have held on to you a little longer. It was time for us to let you go to heaven and be with your love ones.
