 I just had another memory of the late 1970’s when we came down to Florida from New York.  I had stayed with Tio Luciano Tia Sara and Letty one day and I recall sitting at the table to eat either lunch or dinner with them.  I am not sure which one.  Letty sat in front  of  me and Tio Luciano was to my left.  As we started to eat I of course did not know that if you drank all of your liquids at the table being it soda or water that you could not refill your cup until you ate everything on your plate.  
   As I was gulping down what I think was Pepsi I see Letty moving her head to tell me to stop.  Tio just sat there staring at me waiting for me to finish drinking the whole cup just to tell me that I can not have anymore to drink until I ate all of my food.  The rest is a blur but I believe that I ate everything because Tio was not going to give in and I desperately wanted more soda.

My condolences to the Alvarez Family, and Cousin Letty.

I remember when I was little  I slept over, and  tio made me the best Café con leche. Every time I see him and said goodbye he will  always give me his hand to show his strength on his handshake. He was so funny he was like what you think am I strong for being an old man. Thanks tio for the best Café con leche ever. May you rest in peace.  Sending love from the Paez Family .

   I would like to give my condolences to Tia Sara, Cousin Leon and Cousin Letty.  
   I recall during my summer breaks that Dad would drive by Tio Luciano’s work shop and leave me there for a while.  Dad would tell me that Tio was an old man and he can’t lift the sheets of metal like he use to do I had to help him.  After Dad left Tio would have me bring him sheets of metal that was laying on the wall or fence.  After a couple of hours Tio calls me over to him and gives me his right hand to shake.  
   Like a dummy I would shake his hand knowing that he always put me to my knees in pain.  Low and behold he squeezed the life out of my hand and chuckled.  Then he tells me that he’s not that old or weak.  For years after I would try to get my grip stronger so that I could bare his grip and it took me into my 20’s until I could.  
   Tio,  thank you for the talks we had after I retired from the Marine Corps and I pray that I made you, my dad and my other Uncles and Aunts proud of who I became.
