Tino Ayala, I will miss you and my greatest sympathy from me to your family. I want you and your family to know that whenever you're mentioned anyone who knows you always says what a solid man of his word you are. I have known you for 25 yearsand recently been close with you. I consider it a privilege to have known a friend like you who I would back any day of the week. Your honesty, trust, integrity, smile, and laughter will be unreplaceable. I'm honored to have called you a friend and want to say thanks for being there through good and rough times.
