Our deepest sympathy to the Cruz family on their great loss. We worked with Johnny at nabisco for many years, and he will be dearly missed. Johnny always talked about how much he loved his wife and children, and how proud he was of his family. He will be missed as much as his dad at nabisco, and we are far better people for having known him. May GOD bless the Cruz family and help them through this great loss.

Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Hooper
