Bolivar, better known as Pop was a professional soccer player in a Quito, Ecuador. He lived for and loved his family. There was nothing he would not do to make sure his family was safe and well cared for.
Nothing made Pop laugh more than making others act silly with him. Whether it was dancing a silly dance or sneaking up to tickle you. He always wanted to show affection and let you know that he loved you.
Pop loved a good meal and enjoyed them slowly as well as his vodka martinis (stirred with 3 olives). Having friends and family sit at his table and hear their stories, troubles and accomplishments meant the world to him. Nothing was better for him than to watch sports especially soccer and hockey games with a cold beer. He would like to be remembered as someone who would welcome family and friends to his home. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for his family and friends.
