Today I was informed that one of my friends has passed away. I would like to write a short paragraph about him.
I met Enrique when I moved to Colorado. He was a receptionist at the motel I lived for a week. Although He had a teaching license for English, he always said he didn't like teaching and he only tutored some of his friends for a short period. He hoped that he had the money to attend Boulder College of Massage Therapy to be a masseur.
As someone who moved out of his hometown to a whole new place for the first time, it is great to have someone who can be trusted. He was that person for me. At the time, I was a college student at CU Boulder, I didn't own a car and I was pretty low on budget. He offered to help me with delivering new furniture to my house. And let me clarify by furniture I mean a desk, a shelf, and a floor lamp! He had a green mini van. He told me that he bought it for $1,500. It seemed a good deal, knowing that he used it a lot and didn't complain about it. He took me to Longmont, CO so that I can buy a decent priced mattress and to Denver for some other move in shopping. He also was a good friend when it came to giving advices. He helped me with some decisions in my relationship that had a great impact on my life.
He loved his mother, he always talked about her and their house and their pecan trees. He had a son who lived with his ex-wife. He always talked about how smart he is. I met his son few times. He told me that me telling his son that I'm studying to be an engineer has motivated him to become an engineer.
When I was leaving Colorado, he said "remember u can always come back I m here for u....
You are part of my family now...!! Enrique, you will be missed.
