The Morenos, Joe and Tillie were good friends to my parents across the street form my chilhood home on 28th Drive. I remember the good times and laughs the had playing cards on the weekends. The last time I visited, Joe proudly showed me his garden and his beloved pepin pepper plant. What a great loving, cheerful and proud man he was. For the Schroeder family I send our heartfelt condolences.
