Emancio Velasquez
I am one of Cito's eldest nephews. I knew Uncle Cito all my life. Ever since I can remember, he's always been one way. I was never the Mas type, but as a little boy growing up, I enjoyed being around the elders. While they were working, I would observe how they were making the Mas and listen to their discussions. One of the better experiences I had in this yard was when they were making "Fruits and Flowers".
Mario Velasquez
I am also one Mr. Velasquez nephews. I am the third son of his last sister. I have known Uncle Cito all my life. I've always had tremendous admiration for his talents and abilities; the artistic art he portrayed all his life. That was one of the things I will always remember him for. I love my family dearly. I never had the opportunity to meet all of them, except maybe on occasions like this. However, Uncle Cito is gone now and I know we will miss him a lot. I hope the talents and abilities he created in his life never die in vain. Wherever he is at this point in time, we are all with him in spirit.
Sharon Davis
I am a niece of Mr. Velasquez. Uncle Cito was everything and he did a lot. He was very talented in the area of wire-bending. He did a lot of work for most of the band leaders. Uncle Cito was always very diligent and ambitious. We will miss him.
Amanda Velasquez
I am the great niece of Cito Velasquez. I always knew Uncle Cito to be funny. If at anytime you were feeling a bit down, he would soon have you laughing. He was close to his family. Uncle Cito was also well known in the public. He was a nice man and I would greatly miss him.
