Ed,  Sandy and Julian, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I did not know Pancho only from what I seen on Facebook which Sandy posted. Ed you were a great son and you trusted your wife to take care of your dad. That means a lot, Being a caretaker isn’t an easy job, but from what I could seen Sandy did it with Grace and love and honor. And all his postings on Facebook, he never once looked sad or uncared  for he looked loved, and taken care of. Rest in peace Poncho. 
                ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

I had the pleasure of meeting Pancho personally and in the short time I got to enjoy his company, his charm and wit left an impact on me, I will always treasure.

Ed, Sandy and Julian, 
Words can not express how deeply saddened we are with Pancho’s passing.   Sandy, the commitment you made to care for him, far exceeded what would have been given to him anywhere else. The patience, home made meals, all the outings for haircuts, pedicures, lunches and everything in between was admirable. There’s a reason he called you his little girl; because he knew and appreciated all you did for him.  Ed your dedication to ensuring your father was taken care of, in every sense,  was a true testament of what a great son you were to him. It’s evident from knowing Pancho, what you learned in your upbringing because it’s how you lived your life everyday.  
The days, now, will be different that is for sure.  But remember God will never bring the winter, without the joy of Spring. Though today your heart may cry, tomorrow it will sing.  Your parents are together once again, forever.  How happy they must be!
Julian, cherish the memories! That’s something that can never be taken away. 
Your Colorado family sends love and prayers to you all!

My fondest memories will always be from Julian’s graduation in Kansas! We had so much fun and so many laughs! All from Pancho and Paul’s jokes! You will be missed Pancho.

I will miss my friend "Pancho", although we never met in person, I felt that I knew him well. I speak to sandy everyday on my way to work and through our conversations I spoke to Pancho.  Whether wishing him a good day or a goodnight and vice versa, he always had a nice thought for "Tienda". My fondest memory which just happened this year, he sent me a Birthday Video, he was already not feeling the best but still managed to make my day special. I will cherish this video and my friendship with him forever...I will miss you my friend......Tienda ❤️

Sandy and Ed Julian and all the family sorry about Pancho's passing he was a great man to talk to  I made him laugh he made me laugh he was enjoyable to talk to  I will miss his talking to him it was enjoyable I used to tell him let's go dancing when I get there he would say no no no no he was fun to talk to  God bless you puncho I will miss you.. rest easy my friend I will see you on the other side someday and we can talk and we can talk and we can dance in the heavens forever
