The family would like to thank Dr. Eduardo Gomez-Vasquez and Dr. Gomez-Vasquez as his primary doctors for many years. We would also like to thank the surgeons and nurses at SAAMC for the professional care and attention during his stay for brain surgery after his fall. We would also like to thank the nurses and CNAs at Laredo Specialty Hospital. Mr. Mario Rodriguez and Staff who gave our father excellent quality attention and care in an extremely professional and caring manner. Thank you to Dr. Luis Benavides and Charles Brunner for their care and attention for our father in his last few months. Finally, thank you to the Nurse Vela, Nurse Jennifer and Nurse Perez at Regent Care Center. Also all the CNAs were so friendly and caring.All of you, especcially Ruth, made me feel so confortable. We all laughed and cried together. To Mr. Romeo and Mrs. Sylvia Rodriguez, I will never be able to express our gratitude for everything you did and do for our Dad. He thought the world of all of you.
Dad was a very private person. He was extremely patriotic. He had a very dry sense of humor that made everyone think twice. He will be missed.
