Otro de esos recuerdos las varias ocasiones que visite a toda mi famila en Chicago ills, esos dias que nos ibamos de pata de perro; sin embergo hoy que he estado aqui en la cuidad se que el tuvo que hacer un largo viaje, pero su espiritu estara por siempre entre todos nosotros. mi tia concha, primos y demas amigos de la familia. Ni el tiempo ni la distancia cambian el inmenso carino que les tenemos atte. Eduardo Quezada.

There are many fond memories I have of my Uncle. One childhood memory I have of Tio was the time he gave me tips to improve my math skills. Other memories that come to mind, are the many times I'd watch him dance with my Aunt Concha. They sure did a great job  polishing that dance floor.



I fondly recall watching him give high-fives to my son Pierce and chat with my daughter Raquel.



He'd always liberally share many gardening and home repair tips.



He sure knew where to find the best bargain for ice cream in the summer.



His tips and advise always came with a smile.



I will miss him.

I have fond memories of chatting with Faustino on the street in front of his house. He was usually keeping a diligent eye on Christian and Jonathon as they played in the cul-de-sac or was working in his garden.



He will be missed.

His Most favorite accomplishment was his attic deck, built solid so he could spend sunny afternoons enjoying his golden years

I will miss our afternoon talks with my uncle.
