Our most sincere condolences to the family of this precious man. I got to know Arturo and his wife Helen when they became friends with my parents Vicente & Lola Hernandez. They lived a block away from us on Bishop Street in San Marcos. Our family, my parents, brothers, sisters and children loved both of them very much. They would stop for coffee and visit with us on a daily basis. We enjoyed having conversations and laughing with them. Our children would always see them driving up and would be so excited to see them. Arturo would always give them all a hug and he would joke with them. We lost track of them after my parents moved to Laredo due to my mother's health and they moved out of their rental home on Bishop street. We heard about Helen's passing and we were all saddened about that and it wasn't until recently that my sister told me that she had found out that Arturo was living in a nursing home in San Marcos. We had just recently talked about going to visit him. She had the opportunity to visit with him several months ago. I wasn't able to because I live far from that area. It saddens me to hear of his passing. He was and will always be a special man to our family especially our children. They often speak of him with great respect and love. We will forever cherish those memories. I know that he is now rejoicing with his creator, his family and my parents that were anxiously waiting for his arrival. Until we meet again Arturo. Rest in Paradise sweet man! The Hernandez Family (San Marcos, Tx)
