To the Ahuero Family, So sorry to hear of your loss. We grew up next door to this family on 16th Ave. Andy and my dad were good/close friends. I remember going to the river with the family , boating, fishing and trying to get me to eat oysters,(I didn't thou) It was a pleasure knowing a great person who was always friendly to us. Prayers go out to the Family.
