He was very involved with the Men’s Club. He loved Big Band Music, Tejano Music, (most especially Los Pares, Josefa, and The Hot Tamales and of course, Little Joe and La Familia - Las Nubes), rooting for The Astros, and bowling - not necessarily in that order (Lol). He was awarded both bowler of the month and bowler of the year by The United Mexican American Bowlers Association,

We will miss his love for life, his wonderful smile, his great spirit of generosity, and his fierce determination.

Today we grieve as your soul we bury, yet our hearts forever will your memory carry….
