My heartfelt condolences to the family of Goyo. I just now found out about your passing and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Goyo and I met around 1966-1967 at Ft. Bragg and we hit it off both of us being from the same hometown, I was the one who co-signed for him to buy the 1963 black Chevy Impala. We traveled together back and forth to Laredo. I know you are being missed terribly. Rest in peace brother.
