Thanks to Mr. Portillo for his advice on life when I was growing up. A good neighbor setting an example of commitment to wife, family and work. Him hopping in his Ford and going to work really stands out in my mind as do moments he shared about life when I was a young man. My condolences to the family. stay strong and support one another. May God bear your yoke through this. Fernando Medrano Jr.
