Our deepest condolences to the Medrano Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I learned a lot about surveying from Jimmy, even though most of it was through what he has passed on to Larry, but something I learned directly was to always bring an upbeat positive attitude to your endeavors.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to my lovely Aunt Celia who has lived her life with my uncle as her husband and constant companion. To my favorite cousins Joyce and Carol and my loving cousin Larry. It will be a journey of mourning but along the way you will come to appreciate the love he gave even in its smallest measure. Im with you in my heart every step of the way.
