This is a small letter from my friend and Matthews Godfather - Uncle Hector. Its a short stort about your grandpa..... The year would be about 1984 .....
I hope you enjoy it- your grandpa was a pretty funny and good guy once you got to know him.

Seriously, thanks for thinking of my dad. Every now and then you are a good friend.
You thinking of my dad makes me think of your dad. I had just gotten my first real job pumping gas at Lee's shell. It's my first day and your dad pulls in. I walk up to him in my new uniform and I say something like, "Fill it up Mr Garza?"
Your dad looks past me to Lee the station owner and says. "You hired him?"
Lee says, "The government pays me to give retards jobs."
Your dad says, "Does he even know what hole it goes in?"
Lee says, "Probably not. There's no hair around it."
Then everyone on the lot explodes laughing. Except me cuz I'm a young kid so I just stand there with the pump in my hand. (Not the first or last time.)
Your dad tipped me $5 bucks.
Pretty funny stuff.
