"He was always reading, writing, and sharing his make-believe fables with us. He also taught English classes, wrote and directed live theater-he acted and performed in his own shows. He established his own newspapers in Laredo and in Del Rio, [Texas] and was a reporter and editor-in-chief at La Prensa in San Antonio."
-Delia Negrón
"Ahora veo el arco de su vida, donde se refleja su historia a lo largo del hilo luminoso de su encantadora personalidad, su asombro, generosidad de espíritu, dulzura, sutileza, su empatía y simpatía por la vida en todas sus formas. Su manejo de los grandes temas es exactamente el trabajo del poeta, verdaderamente el consuelo de la poesía es sentirse uno conocido".

"My father survived corrupt politics. When we lived in Laredo, [Texas], a political party had been in power over 30 years. In his newspaper editorials, I have fearlessly criticized the party for disenfranchising Hispanics ... He was accused and assaulted by the sheriff himself, then spent the night in jail for ‘resisting arrest.’At the hearing before a packed courtroom, an incredulous judge (6 ' Sheriff vs. Negrón) dismissed the case."
