My family and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband, your Father, your grandfather, brother, uncle and friend today. And we regret that we were unable to attend the funeral service today. I knew Lupe since I was a child from the restaurants. Lupe was always so kind and respectful. He was quiet but he was the "master" in the El Fenix kitchens and his knowledge and gift of cooking to find the right balance of ingredients for the wonderful dishes were "his art". My Dad, Jim McDaniel also sends his condolences,as he and Lupe work together many years with the company. My Dad had much respect for Lupe. My Mother, Tina Martinez also sends her sympathy to all your families as well. She is most grateful to Lupe for his many years of dedication to El Fenix and he was "the man." May he rest in peace and may you find peace one day at a time, in the coming months ahead. With Sincere Sympathy, Jina McDaniel (One of the Martinez family grandchildren) Jim McDaniel and Tina Martinez.
