I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Vargas. I am the Uncle of Suzanne Vargas, and Rick, Tim, and Samantha Vargas.
Wow… It seems like just yesterday he was out driving his truck and having fun. This whole thing is shocking to me. My grandpa was a good man, he was the best man I have ever known! He always made everybody laugh and smile, he was a very lovable and caring person. I will always remember my grandpa as the funny and friendly person that he was! I can still hear him saying "Hey popita!" He will forever be in my heart and I miss him so much but I have to remember he’s in a better place now. Where he is not only my grandpa but also my guardian angel watching over me! I love you so much grandpa, may you rest in peace!
