Priscilla R.Blancas was Proud to have Freddy As An Uncle.

I think about you all the time grandpa. I miss you so much and hope you’re watching all of us. Thank you for being such an amazing man in my life. 

I hold precious memories of both Mr and Mrs Cruz during my high school years - full of dancing! So many dance celebrations I remember attending with them. 
I recently lost my uncle Frank who used to double date with them in their courting days! I believe it’s likely my Uncle Frankie welcomed him into heaven with a firm and lively handshake! 
Thank you Mr. Cruz for your loving and nurturing giftedness. 
My condolences and prayers for Mrs. Cruz and your whole family. 

A life well-lived. That is Tio Freddy's legacy. From my childhood and into my old age, our uncle gave of himself to others - helping family, friends, civic organizations, and even people he had never met. His generosity was a product of his love. Most of us who knew him are indebted to him for favors rendered, but more so for the love he gave to us. His huge smile was emblematic of it. It said "Welcome! Join us. Happy to see you." Few made me happier to be alive. Even fewer had such generosity of spirit and time. To say his absence left a hole in our hearts is to understate it. Yet the memories he left us will help heal it. That's what a life well-lived does for us,

My condolences to the Cruz family from mine.   I remember Uncle Freddy as proud of his military service and patriotic to the USA.  I remember how he honored and kept the memory alive of his brother Manolo who died at age 19 in Italy during battle of Salerno in World War 2 by participating with grandmother Mamita as a Gold Star mother every year.
But above all, I honor Tio Alfredo as a man of honor and wisdom, who gave advice to my mother to Not leave my father, and to do what was right, advice she ignored.
Thank you Tio, for speaking words of wisdom even if people refuse to listen.

Love your niece,
Sylvia 

There are so many wonderful memories with Grandpa. I'll always remember all the creative things he would make for me. From a little drivers license and seat belt for my pink power wheels, jeep. He was the best grandpa I could ask for. Always so loving, patient, and kind. He always had wonderful stories to share. When Erick was born, he was so happy and showed him so much love and took many pictures, and created beautiful, long-lasting memories. I'll forever be grateful to have experienced a wonderful grandfather like you. You have set the example of true love ❤️

I will miss you grandpa, love you ❤️. 

I will always celebrate my dad's life. Love you DAD. I will miss you very much.

Some of the fond memories I have of Mr. C is when he used to go to Clardy Fox Elementary on the different National Holidays wearing his formal military uniforms. It always impressed me how honorable he conducted himself and was giving back to the community.  Another was a song he would play and sing (The Donkey Song). Such a blessing to my family and I. 
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

From my earliest memory I adored my beloved uncle. I'd call him almost weekly and we'd talk for up to an hour or more each time. We'd discuss all sorts of topics and loved to talk about computers. We shared so many things in common. Everytime I visited El Paso I'd make sure to visit him and Tía. They both came to visit me frequently in Las Vegas. He was the personification of goodness, love, compassion and kindness. My heart is broken that he is gone. My family and I send Querida Tía and all our cousins our deepest condolences and prayers. And I'll forever cherish the many loving memories. I love you, beloved Tío! 

The happiest memories were of just seeing you at family gatherings, your guitar and you singing the Christmas donkey song. I never forgot. RIP uncle Al and Thank you for your service to Country, Family and most important to God.  You’re home now.

Can’t wait to tell Vincent how much his great grandpa loved him. ❤️ We love and miss you, Grandpa. 

Beyond grateful to have so many memories with my amazing grandpa ❤️

We love you grandpa. There are so many stories to tell about you and we can’t wait to celebrate your life and how you impacted every single one of us. Thank you for everything. 

Last year, grandpa wanted some help coloring his coloring book. At a certain point he was so proud of what we created together and said “AHHH… beautiful, beautiful little girl” and looked up right at me. Grandpa showed love in so many ways and this moment is something I will remember forever. Love you grandpa
