To the entire Gonzalez family, my condolences go out to all of you for the loss of such a wonderful man (Juan). My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It was a pleasure knowing and talking to him while my son played football and baseball with the T-Birds. May God Bless each and everyone of you. Mr.G you will never be forgotten!

Gonzales family,
Be at peace knowing Juan is with the Lord. God has called him to his home and has left us with many great memories. I had the honor of knowing this great man 42 years of my life. And I never missed an oppurtunity to learn from him. To talk with him, was a history lesson on dedication and devotion. He is the ultimate role model for children and adults. To know him was to respect him. You will forever continue to inspire and affect my life. My deepest condolences for Cata and all the family. Love always, 
Raul Bernal.

Mr.G thanks for the great memories of being part of the T-Bird family, we didn't know each other that much but I knew how you cared about the people around you and I know now you are resting peacefully. RIP Mr.G

Loving and missing you everyday especially calling me almost everyday to get your mail, change light bulbs, throw trash, go grocery shopping or buy lunch for you and grandma on weekends, etc., but I would do it all over again.  Thank you for being a father figure to not just me but to my girls as well, for picking them up everyday from school, taking them to Mc Donalds on Fridays since they were three years old all the way to highschool. Thank you for all the long talks and conversations telling me your life story and even your secrets, giving me the best advice about raising my children, life, money, having respect and my love life.  I never felt like I couldn't tell you anything you made it so comfortable to tell you everything. Because of all the times we shared you have made me a strong woman and always telling me not to worry and the bad times will eventually pass.  You always made me feel loved and proud of my accomplishments being a single mother of three and I know you respected me for that.  I will miss you pulling me and calling me aside at EVERY family party or event to talk to only me about not to drink and drive and to catch up on my life. Grandma always said I was your 7th child and how you weren't my grandpa, but my father. She always told me how you were so worried about us even though we are minutes apart. For being a stubborn man you had a heart of gold never wanted a story, but to get right to the point. I could tell you things no one else knew about me and you would never go gossip to tell others and I respected you for that, our secrets always stayed our secrets.  I cant imagine life without you, but got to stay strong for grandma and my girls.  I will keep going in to the direction you wanted me too and push my girls to be the best they can be and stay on them, like you always said no one is perfect and people will fail you and your children will mess up from time to time, but to always keep my head clear, be there for them no matter what even though they might not need you at that time. You always said you felt like you can rule the world as long as you had a good, clean suit on your back, money in your pocket and clean shiny shoes!! All I can say is that I will do my best and still talk about you just like I have been, to be proud being the granddaughter of a legacy a man dedicated to the youth of El Paso and Mr.Southside!!!! T-Birds for life!!! Love your headache and your lucky number 7 Ms. Maxine Gallegos, Melanie Amber Yanez, Alexis Rene Yanez, and Andrea Nickole Hijar.  IT WAS MY PLEASURE!!!!!
