What memory I have of my Grandpa is faint. They few memories I do have are very memorable to me there are some stories to were I would even be able to tell how old I was around the time of the year and even what I was wearing. Through listening to stories told to me as a child I've learned more about him. My Grandpa passed away in the February of 2000 on Valentine's Day which also happened to be his anniversary. I was in Kindergarten. My Grandpa's name was Jose Angel Lorenzo which happens to be my brother's name who happened to be born the same year my Grandpa passed away just a few months later after my grandfathers death witched then changed my Grandpa's name to Jose Angel Lorenzo Sr.
Now I don't remember this memory of him but as a child I was always reminded of it. It was this one time when i was just under 6 months and I was crying. My Dad, (who also happens to be my grandpa's son) told me it was raining that night and he said when I was younger he said thunder would startle me so as I baby I cried and everyone in the house attempted to calm me down but no could not my mom,dad,aunt,uncle,or older cousin. That is except for my grandpa who picked me up and cradled me into his arms and I suddenly stoped and started to smile.
There was another time before was born that my dad had told me as well. It was when they had moved to this house in Santa Clara by this Mongolian BBQ restaurant and I guess one day he decided to make a roof for the car on the outside of the House and he didn't let anyone get in his way in till he completed his spontaneous project.
