Amado, known to many as “Whitey” was a hard working man. He was a joker and made people laugh every where he went. Often people said he resembled Robin Williams. He loved to play pool, enjoyed football and roller skating and listening to his favorite music. Amado had a big appetite and loved all kinds of foods especially during the holidays.
He loved tamales, menudo, chile rellenos, capirotada, posole, and he especially loved sweets, biscochitos, lemon pie and cherry pie were his favorites. Hopefully we will all sit with him at the table again. He also liked to read Louis L’Amour books and going camping with family and friends. We pray for God’s strength as we all loved him so much. We will miss him and were blessed to have known him. We will see him again.

Gonzales; grandsons, Johnny Jr., Andy, Joey, Michael, Ricky, Randy and Matthew; granddaughters Michelle and Sandy; great grandchildren Musa, Matthew, Jordan, Gabriel, Anthony, Sergio and Zeke, Corrina, Katlyn, Victoria, Natalie, Christina, Kaylani, Lanoi, Miliani, and Zoey; great great grandson Dominik; sisters, Stella, Marcy, Corrina, Gloria, Aurora; brothers Gilbert, Marcos and Willie.
