Name: Martin Funeral Home West
Address: El Paso, TX

My favorite memories growing up are going over every weekend . My uncle was teaching me how to drive standard. It was a tiny red car. After stopping at the gas station. He would say…. “ Alright Lil fella, here’s the keys, Now get in captains chair.” And for every car that passed me he would say…. “now hurry up and catch that old lady that just passed you!” He always said something to make me laugh.. I will always remember my “Uncle John” He always knew everyone, everywhere we went. 
This guy truly was “A Good Neighbor!”  
When I told him I was going to be a Real Estate Agent, he said….” I can tell you’re gonna do great lil fella! “ 
Rest in Heaven “Uncle John”, Thank you for wonderful and memorable memories. For being that example for me, and for being that person I could easily looked up to.
