What memory would be sufficient to summarize the man who changed the trajectory of your entire life? He accepted me unconditionally from day one. Early memories of him in Taiwan always smiling and joking. Very early on he treated me like his own daughter. When he married my mom and we immigrated to the US, he worked tirelessly day and night to provide for my siblings and me. He would come home late at night after standing and cooking for 12hrs straight, exhausted and yet still had a smile on his face and enough energy to peel me grapes while we watched late night TV together when I came home from college. When I called in distress because I was lost in Compton or some random neighborhood, he ALWAYS took my call, grabbed his Thomas Bros guide and walked me through how to get back on track. He was patient, positive and loved unconditionally. Any worries, disappointments or fears he kept hidden so that we would grow up in as much happiness as possible. He sacrificed not for his own American dream but to provide it for my siblings and I. I am honored to have his last name and will always be grateful for the opportunities he provided to us. I love you dad, today and always. Rest In Peace. 

As a newer member of the family, I did not know Cazeno very well but I did interact with him many times during family events. His demeanor was consistent; perpetually content in the presence of his children and his grandchildren.

Looking back on photos of him in his earlier days, I was astounded at how handsome he was in his youth.  I think of him as an Asian version of a hybrid Robert Redford/ James Dean. Few people are able to carry-out such charisma in mere jeans and a T-shirt, and he was one of them.  Blessed.  

As a man who seemed to work all his life for the betterment of his family, it was a pleasure to experience him create his special formulations. I’ll never forget watching him for hours over a hot skillet carefully tweaking a magical sauce to be poured over noodles. I’ve never tasted anything like it before.  Talented. 

After that meal, when everyone else left the table: he grabbed my arm, and said, “I’m so glad you could be here with us to taste my food.“  It was a precious moment.  Those unmistakably clear coherent eyes of his. 

Cazeno was extremely generous.  Several years ago, during Christmas, he stood in line for 2 hours so that the 10 or 14 of us could all join him in a special meal at a coveted restaurant.  Selfless.  

His actions reminded me of Andy Defrain in Shawshank Redemption, giving up his allocation of beer for his friends.  He seemed to have an incredibly quiet confidence about him.  Humble. 

Last night Jackie and Ryan shared with us Cazeno’s favorite genre of music was “love songs.”  Lionel Richie never sounded so good.  

God blessed us with a wonderful man who was an example to us all, a standard setter, and a friend.  

I will miss and always love you, dear Cazeno.  

Rest peacefully. 

With love.
