Hello, Aaron,
Please accept condolences from Judy and me regarding the passing of your uncle. Especially, convey these sentiments to your dad. Your father is a gentleman and a role model, and he always made time many years ago to help out of rookie reporter like me, who knew little about the world of government, but he made the time to help me out.
I am sure that your uncle also helped countless people in his life, especially those most in need.
No doubt, he has gone home to his reward in Heaven.
Sincerely,
David A. Diaz

My condolences on your loss. Is your family from Pharr? My dad is also from Pharr.
Thank you all for the kind words. It was sad to see Herald go.
Vince, my father's family lived in Elsa when they were young. Most, but not all, of us now live in Edinburg. Next to Edinburg is Pharr were Herald spent many years working as an educator. I have many friends who live in Pharr. It is a town well known for some serious politics. This must be the origins of your love of politics.
Like many of us, it's in your blood.
