Celebrating the Life of Juan Carlos

Everyone here at the Underwood is heartbroken to say that our Juan Carlos has left this world. JC has been an integral piece of the Underwood for 18 years. Even as a regular, you might not know Juan Carlos. He was washing all the plates, glasses, and cooking gear needed to make this place function. This role never gets enough credit in my book. It is an indispensable position. Restaurants do cultivate family bonds; we eat together, we go through stressful shifts (time and time again) trying to keep everything happening, we spend holidays together working rather than being with our other families. We sometimes even find great love, as Juan Carlos did with Patricia. She worked the day and he the night. Two of the hardest working people you would ever meet, always taking care of each other and all of us.

It's our time now to help Patricia take care of Juan Carlos in these final matters. Any bit that you can send this way will help.

Sending thanks that you have read this and all good energy, big and small, that you send is very appreciated.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jen, Patricia, and the entire 'Wood Family
