Mayor Sanchez was an honorable man, who gave a gift I could never repay. When I returned home for the first time after deploying to Iraq Mayor Sanchez was there to honor me with a proclamation of Kristoffer Villarreal Day. It is one of my most cherished memories and was very heart felt. The look of pride in my parents faces I will always remember. It was a honor knowing him and I want to offer my deepest condolences to the Sanchez family.

My Favorite Uncle, Mayor Joe V. Sánchez, TÃo Joe, Boyé, was an icon in my eyes way before he was elected Weslaco Mayor in 1975. He always shared a Vallejo or Sánchez family history lesson or funny story only he could share in his own special way. Like the birth of My Mama, coz he personally witnessed it as a 5-year-old-boy helping his Father in the cotton fields, driving his truck at an early age. We all loved hearing his stories, & I absorbed every detail. Some are shared in his literary treasures, his 3 books.
My TÃo Joe supported all his 5 children in their school and extracurricular activities; but, he also supported his Sánchez nieces & nephews, too! I received the best advice from him when applying to colleges, filing for Democratic Party Precinct Chair & when I was finally elected National Delegate, he was the 1st to Congratulate me, after My Mama & TÃa Élida!
He loved to see his loved ones excel, like when his daughter Dr. Sylvia Sánchez-Garza defended her Ph.d doctoral dissertation he was unable to finish. He beamed from his front row seat, listening to her academic achievement.
He was the best Son, Big Brother & oldest Vallejo grandson, so a great Primo to so many Vallejo & Sánchez primos!
I already miss our talks, visits when My Mama & I sat down with him for hours. I find comfort in knowing he is in peace, Rejoicing in God's Kingdom, reunited with the love of his life, my Aunt Élida, his beloved daughter Ana MarÃa, his parents, grandparents, & sisters.
May they all Rest in Eternal Peace forever.
Amen.
