Our Most Sincere Condolences to all the Elizondo family. We feel in our hearts that we've lost a most dear friend. We grew up in Zapata Viejo a few homes from each other. My brother and I played baseball all day long with Franke, Fito, and Ruben. Even though we had no bats or baseballs we were never short of ideas....used our Dad's "talache" handle for a bat and a rock covered with old several old socks and a lot of electrical black tape from their Dad's supply. Needless to say, we had many great times! And as darkness came and couldn't play baseball anymore, we'd gather around and found an old can and played "El Bote" until our parents called us to come home. What did we do the following morning? Baseball, of course. Rest In Peace, Fito, and may God welcome you and Bless your family.
