Reflecting back you had always been a very special person to me when I was younger and even as an adult. You were in my eyes the most kind-hearted, easily going person with the winning smile. Your laughter was contagious and I’ll never forget your funny giggle and your gah-lee’s. That’s how I will always remember you. My kids still see you as Tio Gollo the ice cream man. They loved you. Visiting with you last year 4/4/23 in Fargo, I would have never thought that would be the last time I’d see you. You looked so good and happy. We enjoyed every minute of it. I will miss you. Our family is heart-broken and very saddened by your passing. Thank you for being my uncle.
Our Heavenly Father has called you back home to reunite you with your family. May you rest in peace.
Love Oscar & Sylvia Ortiz 😪🙏
Our condolences to the family. May he rest in peace! We will miss Our Beloved Uncle!!
Greg
Was a gentle soul of a man who had a heart of Gold. I was just child when I first met Greg and My biological father walked out on my mother & turned his back on his kid for a new Wife & 2nd batch of kids. Greg always was kind & patient with me. Over the years we stayed in contact and he filled the void I had in my heart for a father and was always there for all my lifetime Milestones. From a listening ear to heartfelt advice to being there to give me a way at my Wedding in 2012 and even took on the rule of adopted Grandpa Greg to my two sons.
Thank you for sticking around
I love you Dad
