What they're saying:

"I miss him a lot."

Tony Vasquez lived with his parents in Irving, and drove his mother to work most mornings. He and his father, Julio, played in a band called "Banana Show" together.

"It’s just terrible," Julio said of the accident that killed Tony. "I mean, somebody to do that, you know, has to be crazy, has to be an animal."

Julio Vasquez hopes Cedeno spends the rest of his life in prison, but hopes more that people remember Tony for the happy man that he was.

"Oh, happy guy. Happy, playing his bass all the time," Julio said.
