My parents and family were blessed with a deep, true friendship with the Gonzalez family for many years. I have many happy memories of my dad and Poncho grilling outside with music n of course a few cold beers. I never witnessed a disagreement between them, only laughter and good times. I only new Poncho as a great family man and friend to all. He will be missed but not forgotten ❤️

My condolences to the Gonzalez family. May the Lord give you strength, peace, and comfort during this difficult and sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Me and my family are blessed to be a friends of the Gonzalez for years. Every time we visit we feel like at home. We will always remember the smile , the caring heart, that warm embrace he always gives us through good and bad time no matter what. We will always remember him because there will never be another one to replace him in our hearts, and the love we will always have for him. Now he is gone but never forgotten.
It’s always difficult to say farewell to a Dad, but we will always remain thankful for the guidance and friendship he passed to us.
