My sincerest condolences to Alex and Lupe’s family and friends. I will truly miss him. He was a great “Grandpa Lupe” to my daughters and a great father-in-law. I will cherish the memories and good times we had together. He will live on in our hearts forever. May you rest in peace Lupe. Love you, Evon
