Ermilo Ramirez

His name was Ermilo Ramirez he was born in Hondo Texas. He was the youngest of 5 kids and was raised here in Dallas. He was a proud Tejano, he loved his Tejano music and dancing the night away. Every time we want to remember him we put on some Gary Hobbes and drink some tequila. He loved the night life and closing down the bars lol. He was also kind and compassionate, if ever you needed something he was there. He had a big love  for people, his friends and his family.

Antonio Gutierrez

So, my grandpa is Antonio Gutierrez.

He was born in 1930 and he passed away 4/11/2019. I remember my grandpa could do anything! Even though he didn’t  have a “traditional education”, he knew a lot and taught us soo much.  He was firm but fair. Even though he was stern, he was so loving with with his family.  He was a hard worker but always made time for his family.

He liked to play cards, dominoes and have a drink with the guys when we gathered.  I remember his drink of choice  would be Coke and Presidente. Although he would take a Miller Lite too. I remember He always had a handkerchief with him, to wipe the sweat from his brow as worked. He loved sweets. Any sweets.  He would really like the strawberry cake I would make and ice cream. He loved music. La Puerta Negra was his go to song or anything from Vicente Fernandez. He was the best.. and I stand by my words when I say they don’t make them like my grandpa anymore.
