Brothers, cousins & friends. Checking out new home in Gardena.

Frank was a very nice neighbor who was always willing to help 
when needed. He repaired my heater and declined any monetary compensation.
AS his neighbor, I could always count on him if I needed anything.
He was very hospitable, accommodating and generous.
He loved his wife, Celina, daughter, Celina, and his grandchildren.
 Frank was a nurturing person who enjoyed gardening, caring for his white dove and dog. Everyone was always welcomed at his house. I enjoyed watching him ride his bike around my house to the bike route on his way to Huntington Beach. May Frank rest in peace because he was a faithful husband, caring father, grandfather, dedicated son, brother, talented worker, and Korean War Veteran. I forgot! He also used to repair/fix bikes for the neighborhood children and give them the bikes when the children earned good grades in school.  
Sincerely, 
Neighbor, Juanita V. Meraz

To my Father in law a Mexican Korean War Hero,

 I remember you telling me stories about being discriminated his your whole life even while serving in the Army during the Korean War. You chose to ignore it and used it to climb the ladder in the Army and made the rank of Sgt 1st Class and became a Flight Test Supervisor at Northrop with Top Secret Clearance.

I'm blessed to have crossed paths with you. You challenged me to be better and stronger man. To uphold my Mexican roots and never let anyone out work me. As I climbed in my career you always were happy for me, “RIGHT ON” you would say. I will always be grateful for the encouragement. 

But It’s Men like you that are scarce to find nowadays. It’s men like you that were never intimidated by anyone. It’s men like you that survived poverty, the Great Depression, racism, war and discrimination. It’s men like you that this world needs more of. 

You will always be remembered in my heart and I will make sure your current and future generations know who you were and what you overcame including all your accolades. 

Thank God that he gave you the strength to make your past generations proud and you future generations STRONGER. Now that you’re in heaven. I know God will have special plans for you, so go easy on God! 

I love you for blessing my kids in unimaginable ways.
