Continue ReadingAndres Ortiz Gomez, beloved father, husband, grandpa, uncle and friend, passed away on January 8, 2021 from complications from Covid. Andres was born in Cordoba, Veracruz on July 21, 1950 to Alvaro Ortiz and Guadalupe Gomez. His family moved to Mexico City, where he lived until 1985. He held many jobs in Mexico, including working at an automotive glass factory, a Bimbo bakery, a police officer, and a private security guard.
He is survived by his sons and daughters, Daniel, Claudia, Andrea, Marisol, Edwin, Andres and Oscar, as well as a huge clan of brothers, sisters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and in-laws.
His greatest gift was revealed late in life when he performed magnificently as a doting grandfather. In Galveston, he worked as an upholsterer, and many spots on the island bear his work, from bar benches to Victorian furniture in 1900 storm survivor homes. He loved discussing politics, visiting his family in Mexico, playing with his dogs, buying old cars and spending time with his grandchildren. We will miss him immensely.
Due to the pandemic, a memorial service will be held at a later date.

Me habría gustado decirtelo en persona querido tio Andrés. Te admiré muchisimo. Fuiste el hermano chiquito de mi mamá con la que comparieron aventuras y tristezas en Cordoba y en la CDMX. Tu ercarnaste desde niño el drama de la migración. Primero la migración interna de la provincia a la capital y luego de la capital al norte. Un hombre de clase trabajadora con ideas progresistas y avanzadas para su tiempo. Dice mi mamá que en tu dos últimos viaje a México fuiste plenamente feliz. Un abrazo fuerte a tus hijas, hijos y demás famila.

Exodus 31:2-9
English Standard Version
2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8 the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, 9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand...
