Danny, Cynthia & family, I always considered it a pleasure and a privilege to be related to both Mel and Connie, two wonderful people who made me feel welcome and part of the family. I’ll always have vivid memories of my childhood and visiting my godparents or them coming to our house for family gatherings. Your Dad had a warm and gentle spirit seldom seen today. He loved to tease me as a kid and I’ll never forget his smile. It could light up a room. Even as I got older he’d tease me, but he also always asked how I was doing with my job. He cared so much for his family. He’ll be missed by all. Love, Anthony, Rosina & Amber Conchel
