I knew this young man. Best guy I knew. A true friend could never be forgotten, my heart goes to his family and especially his parents, I can only imagine how difficult it is to loose a son that they once raised. To all his family hang in there and keep the end looking at the sky because pido will be watching and looking over you all. I kno it’s hard and it has been tough on me also I can go on and on telling stories of times I’ve broke down thinking I’ve seen Jose riding his bike to the store and various places. We just got to keep his memory alive
…take care to all of pidos family
