I'm so glad we were able to get back in touch over the last few years. I had the opportunity to have a relationship with my cousin again after many years of not seeing one another. He was a very caring person, very sweet. I know that he was an amazing person and the world was a better place for having him in it. He was a shining example of a life well lived despite many obstacles. The great love that everyone has for him is as big as the loss that is felt in his absence. I feel grattitude and pride to have been able to call him my cousin. I remember the mischievous gleam in his eyes and his loving presence.

I met Ozzie when I was 18. We were friends through our dating years, watching each other marry and rejoicing in each others children.
As couples, Oz and Adriana, Jon and I got our scuba certificate together. We would horseback ride, hike, and just enjoy experiencing life. We did more camping trips than I can count. Ozzie was a gentle, loving and patient man. He would help anyone with anything as he often did. I am so sad for us and will miss him terribly.

I am attaching a song from utube and I truly believe this is his situation now.

Ozzie, the day you left,
I never, never expected!
If only I could just, once more hold your hand and tell you I love you.
that day was busy for you -- doing what you loved most!
Your had an artist' knack for transforming buildings into beautiful places.
buildings were your art canvases and your tools were the art brushes.
no one can understand why?
no chance to even say goodbye!
but deep inside I know that you will be happy...
cause you are with our mamasita and dad.
I will always remember your goofy laugh and mischievious ways.
people, I know will always have good things to say about you till eternity.
brother so dear you were..letters you wrote that I shall never forget  thank you for loving me.

I will always carry you close to my heart.

We will miss you, and I we will always love you Ozzie.

Ozzie,

Such a great guy! I will never forget your kindness over the years and your ability to focus on my interests and not yours. You exemplified the spirit of selflessness. Jim and I enjoyed meeting you during our visits in Chicago and California. You were a wonderful father to your girls and devoted husband to Adriana. I know you are reaping the rewards of all you did here on earth. You will truly be missed but now enjoyed by all your loved ones in your new heavenly place. Thank you for being such a good friend. I will miss you.

Love Anita

You were not only my brother, but you were like a father to me. I looked so forward to you coming over to eat. You were just satisfied with a bean taco or some rice. Oh yes, especially the flour tortillas. I would just sit there watching you eat and enjoying you savor my food. My elbows on the table and my hands against my cheeks, just smiling and watching you take a bite after a hard long day. You were my everything. My heart is now broken in a thousand pieces. I was hoping after donating the kidney I would have had you around for another 20 years. You gave me a card and wrote that you were grateful for what I did for you. You didn't have to thank me my sweet Ignacio. It was such an honor. Love you and will miss you forever and ever. Your perfect Patty. That's what you always called me.

Happy Birthday Uncle Ozzie! I was JUST talking about you this morning with Wyatt. He said he doesn't want to grow up and not be a kid anymore. I told him, "Well Uncle Ozzie got older, but he never stopped being a kid at heart!" I shared about all the silly things you would do and how I loved that you brought that out in all of us. Happy heavenly birthday. We will be kids at heart for you today <3 Love you!

Your memory will remain with me forever. You were a special person that I was connected to by the grace of God. You were kind to me and I will never forget you and the 10+ years I had on this earth getting to know you. You were a true friend and brother. I love you Ozzie and hope to meet you again when I leave this world someday. May the souls of the faithful departed Rest in Peace. Amen

"Iggy" at Lakeview Learning Center

September 17, 2014

I met Iggy in 1983 when I was the Director of Lakeview Learning Center (City Colleges of Chicago) and Iggy, as I called him, was my engineer.  He was so professional and top quality.  He became a friend and confidant.  When I met my husband, I confided in Iggy and he also told me about his love, Adriana.  He came to my wedding, and I will always remember his smile and happy disposition.  Everyone at Lakeview adored Iggy. He was always cheerful, hard working, and willing to help eveyone.  Eventually, Iggy got promoted to Central Office, as I knew he would. He was too good to stay at a small school. Everyone adored him also at Central Office. The most difficult people at Central office adored him because he was just a special person. He would later transfer to Wright College, and I would see him a few more times.  I will always remember him as the special and unique person he was. There will not be another "Iggy" and he lives on in our hearts and through our memories of him.
