My condolences to my Beautiful Daugther Rhea Claire Morales (Granddaugther)of Ramon Fuentes and His Daugthers Cynthia & Deborah and Family, I remember Ramon Fuentes as a Great Man and a down to earth person,I had the pleasure to be in life at one time. Ramon bougth me my first set of golf clubs, and he took me to the driving range. I had the most wonderful times with him. We had lots of laughs and fun together. He was more than a Father, He was my Friend! I always missed you, and now even more, My heart goes to the Family ,Rest in peace Dad! I'm sorry for being absent...
My condolences to Ramon's family. Sorry so late but I had moved out of the area and am just finding out. Back in the 80s I spent a lot of time with Ramon and he was an awesome person. Yes he was very generous and he loved to laugh. We would drink beer and laugh and laugh. Unfortunately, I haven't seen him since the 80s but I think of him often, fondly. He was a breathe of fresh air to be around. He made me laugh out loud. My world is a better place because of knowing him. I will certainly miss him. Rest in Peace Ramon Cavrone! (my nic for him) Walk with Jesus. Until we meet again...farewell. Chris Moon

I am sorry that you did not know him. He was very generous and loved to laugh. I don’t know anything about his family life, but to me he was a great friend. I would not even try to guess why he didn’t come around, but my condolences to the family. You missed out on knowing the side of him that I knew. He is remembered fondly in my heart.
