Hey guys, I think the lunch run memorial is a great and heartfelt thought and will be a good thing for everyone. But howbout this week, lets stick with posting our thoughts prayers and all of the great experiences/times (post pics if ya got um)we've all shared with Los. Kinda let everyone digest what has happened here and share in the personal loss with friends and family. My .02
Carlos will be missed by many!! Prayers go out to wife, children, family and friends.

I think that is a great idea. I will start another thread all together about a lunch run so that we can get a head count togther and make some arrangments as needed. I think this thread should remain just the way it is, a place for memories to be shared.
I for one can never forget the look on my 9 year old daughters face when my boat broke at last years Cat Attack and Carlos asked her if she would like to ride with him and his family on the big boat, she smiled all night long in anticipiation of the ride in the race boat as she called it.
Carlos I will never forget your since of humor or your huge heart...a true Gentle Giant. Many men will try all of their lives and never be half the man you were.
Some of my best memories at the poker runs and events that I've done are when Carlos and crew would show up. You would think it was the President of the United States showing up the way people would snap pictures of him, his rigs and boats... he definitely knew how to make an entrance. And then for him to come over and not only acknowledge my wife and I but sit down and carry on a conversation with us and ask us how we've been in a way made us feel special. He was a very genuine guy and always a gentleman to my wife and I and will be greatly missed.
They had a suite next to ours at the Desert Storm Poker run this past year. Very nice people. Always said hello and were joking with us. Sorry to see this happen. RIP.
Our thoughts & prayers also.We just met him at the last HB photo shoot.Great guy.Again,our condolences.Casey & Christina.
God bless Carlos and his family..... lost is a true hard-core boater...
The Best Family sends it's condolences. We are truly sorry for your loss.
I don't have too many stories about Carlos as I was just getting to know him. Most wouild agree that he was never dull and always smiling.
I do have one story that until today did not realy register propery. It was Saturday morning at Cat Attack. Donna and I were driving down to the store to pick up some ice. Carlos was pitting on the props on his new Nor-Tech, one of the coolest boats I haver ever been around. He stopped and started to walk over to us to say hello. The prop slid off and hit the ground. We felt so bad and were concered if it had done any damage. Carlos, on the other had was more concerned as to how were were. There is something to be leaned from a guy like that.
We later laughed about it in the bar that night. Carlos, his brother, DCBob, Pierre, myself and few of the usualy suspects had a few froster beverages that night. It was a good time. It was the last time I spoke to Carlos.
Rick, Donna, Brad, Bailey
