For all who will read of your loss, I hope they will call their mother or father, sister or brother - there's always time to do that. I sure wish I could. And Gerardo, I know you wish you could, too...
Thank you, sorry for your loss. Today has not been easy, and I do agree. CALL them. Today.

As leaders such as yourself pass, just as mine have, be assured you never leave us sir, you live forever in our hearts and souls. Your legacies will live forever in the smiles of your grand children, and be assured that your values are being carried on with the generations now to follow.
You sounded like a man I would have enjoyed to have a conversation with, as well as enjoyed to have a drink with. When I see Gerardo in the next couple of weeks we will toast a glass in honor of you, and the memories you've left behind. Rest in Peace knowing you did well sir.

Thank you, and GodSpeed,
Trace
Trace: Thank you so much for your words, and I will be looking forward to that toast to a wonderful man.

Be strong and smile, it's what he wants!
I am sure that is what he wants. Tough thing, but he would say 'that is enough crying'

Gerardo, words cannot express our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We are thankful you share so much of your daily experiences with the TRF family - we do truly feel the sorrow at Mr. B's passing.

We know he was respected.
We know he was admired.
We know he was loved.

The measure of a man is what impact he had on those he touched during his lifetime. Your FIL was one of the greatest in the eyes of his business associates (employees and competitors), friends and most importantly his family. I remember thinking when my father passed...I hope I am remembered as fondly by those who knew/respected/loved him.

We are here for you in the good times - as well as times that challenge us.

Out thoughts and prayers are with you and Mrs. G and the family every day through this time of mourning. Please let us know if we can help in any way!

S & S
