I’ve said it before, but I will say it over and over again. Mr. Hernandez was a great man. I have always been in awe of how he was to his amazing daughter and his beautiful granddaughters. There is nothing that he wouldn’t have done for them. Mr. Hernandez even though I don’t see them that often, I am always thinking of them and keeping them in my prayers as I know how much you loved them. The most important thing to you is that they are taken care of and looked after. Just know I will always be here for them and would do anything for them as they hold such a special place in my heart. Miss you dearly.



Daddy, this doesn't feel real. I already miss you so much! You were a strong proud man who valued your family. You didn't speak many words but the words you spoke were meaningful! Your straight forwardness and your witty come backs you passed on to me! Thank you for everything you taught me and did for me and my girls and all of your family! I truly am " Daddy's girl!" I can hear you telling me to be strong so that's what I will do but it will be hard without you as you were my rock! I will be there for our family as you were. You were the greatest man I ever met and our superhero! I love you Daddy ❤️❤️

I love you Robert John 

I have gotten to know Bobby very well over the last 9  years, because we lived next door to each other.
Bobby was a a good man, who enjoyed BBQing for his family. It was easy to see the great love he had for his children and grandchildren, and of course his delight with his great grandchild Lincoln.
Bobby was soft spoken and never wanted to impose on anyone. He was a man of action, not words.
It was always obvious that he adored his family, and that they loved him.
Bobby is already greatly missed in my household, it just seems impossible that he is not next door watching Sunday Football right now.
Bobby will be missed tremendously.

Grandpa I’ll miss you forever. I’m happy you are with grandma now watching over us.

I miss you uncle Bob... I will forever be looking for you at family parties Familia Por Vida 🇲🇽🇺🇲🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸

I first met Mr. Hernandez when I was in high school with Chrissy.  I would go over to the house on 18th Street and either eat or pick-up Chrissy in my green, Ford Fairmont station wagon with a stick-shift (AKA the Pickle).  Marie as sweet as she was, would always greet me with a welcoming hug and chat.  Mr. Hernandez would say “hi” or kind of smile to greet me, but outside of that, never really spoke.  If you didn’t know him, you really wouldn’t know how to take it or what to make of him.  Is he always so quiet?  Is he just one of those grumpy dads?  Over the years I would see him if there was a party for the girls, Mariah and Siarah (who both and always will hold a very special place in my heart) or some other holiday/occasion/event, and every time, he was still just very quiet and not saying much at all - but always still friendly.  After being around him for so many years - and feeling comfortable enough - I would eventually begin to hug him when I would first see him, and of course hug him before leaving an event.  
Once I became older and a parent myself, I finally understood exactly what kind of man this gentle giant was – this man of few words.  He was saying things all the time, just not speaking them.  His ACTIONS said it all.  I stopped paying attention to what he was or was not saying and began paying attention to what he was doing.  Whether he was cooking or cleaning up, or just some other way to help with "whatever" it was.  Because the "whatever" didn’t matter to him.  If it meant something to you, it meant something to him.  He was a “hands-on”, caring and attentive father to his daughter and those beautiful granddaughters.  He was always there for them no matter what.  So selfless, so kind.  Those are the memories I will always have of him.  I will miss him dearly.


Grandpa, you were the greatest man in this entire world. I look up to you in so many different ways. You taught me how to be strong and to always keep my faith in god. I will forever cherish the memories we created. I’ll never forget the laughs , the smiles , every time you held me when I cried. I thank you and grandma for helping my mom raise me and making me into the women that I am today. I miss you more than you could ever know. But I’m at peace knowing you’re with grandma again. I love you so so much. Your baby Siarah ❤️

Grandpa I just wanted to thank you for always being there for every part of my life. Thank you for always supporting and encouraging me through all lifes milestones. Thank you for all the life lessons you have taught me but most importantly loving your family unconditionally! I love you Daddy with all my heart! 

Bobby I Looked up to you growing up. You were confident in yourself and in your abilities. Rest In Peace. 

Sorry to hear about the loss of Bobby
 I'll remember him as a quiet  and friendly soul. I saw him at quick trip only a few weeks ago and we chatted.  I'll always remember our interactions.



what a shock to hear by good friend and teammate had passed. we shared some good times during our softball days and remained friends for life. I will miss him but never forget The Sheik!!!
