"After living across the street from him in the late 80s and 90s, I was convinced I became friends with a future contestant on Survivor. Me: Maybe it's too cold to hang out late tonight. Jaime: let's gather some wood, you crybaby-I'll start a bonfire. If you couldn't find Jaime at a crowded party, all you needed to do was listen for his trademark laugh. He was the embodiment of revelry, complemented by epic storytelling and loud music. The concrete jungle of Slag Valley became our playground and Jaime was undoubtedly one of its chief architects. We'll keep the storytelling going for you, Jaime. There's no shortage of awesome material from our 35 year friendship. I will miss you."

"For Rose, children and families, my heart is saddened by the news of our beloved neighbor and friend. We met this kind gentle men on the 97th street of Exchange neighborhood years ago with his most precious family, Carmen and Xavier . I had not met a more handsome young man whom wore his heart and soul on his sleeve with his greatest smile cheek to cheek. We my family loved (s) you guys very much besides Rose your greatest Partner and Family. You will never be forgotten in our eyes or heart. Rest in Peace."
