It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that our great friend Jim Valdez died yesterday. Jimmy was with us for many years. His sense of humor always bubbling.
He was on stage, building stages, and always available for problem solving. He and Juanita were also generous donors and patrons. They were happy to support the costs of renovating the downtown teatro.
They moved to Phoenix last year. Juanita passed several months ago. Jim moved in with his sons and and spent his last months happily with them and their families. Jim’s son Dennis tells me it was a great joy for him to have his Dad with them.
We miss you Jimmy and we hope you are helping celestial teatros build sets.
