EDUARDO GONZALEZ
My Friend and my “Brother” Ed
In 1963 I was introduced to Ed Gonzalez in a professional manner, and we immediately became friends, believing in and trusting each other, professionally and personally.

Our work together included residential, multi-family, churches, community centers, schools, office buildings, and shopping centers in our areas as well as other states.  No matter the type or design, Ed was prepared and to tackle the problem.
