Dearest Abuito…it has been one year since you left us. The world has changed but our love for you has remained constant. We miss you and think of you often <3 Much love, Ali.

Vincent was a man who loved the sea. He was never happier than  when he could stand in the surf and gaze across the sapphire waters of the Florida Keys. From there he could dream of his native land and home in Cuba on the Caribbean shore. A home and land that was taken from him by a revolution of which he wanted no part. His heart and dreams were crushed but he started a new life in America with his beloved wife Esther and his infant daughter whom he named after the pearl, the jewel of the sea. It was to be a difficult life, forced to start over but he had a family to support. Working at an ice cream store, an Army / Navy shop and eventually going to college and getting a degree, he remade himself as so many immigrants had before him. His was the story of the men and women who fled hardship and oppression to become the backbone of this nation. He loved America and  cherished it to the end. He was a good man; an honest man; a strong man who made the most of a life fate had handed him. He loved and was loved. He will be missed.

In memory of Vicente... 
I met Vicente many years ago when he dated my little sister Esther.  He came to the states with his then small family, Esther, Perla and Reyne from Cuba, after my arrival to this great country. They lived on the same street as us in North Miami for many years.  We had lots of Noche Buena celebrations and family gatherings together. We all shared many good times and he will be greatly missed.

So many fond memories of "Mi Tio". Lots of family fun with my cousins, Tia Esther and Tio Vicente, including camping, boating, fishing, spearfishing and fresh lobster on the bbq at Long Key, still one of my favorite places too! Days at "Masolino's Beach" on Key Biscayne playing in the shallow water and baseball in the field. And at home, teaching us songs the piano. And then later, connecting with my children in his special way. He was a caring, interesting, funny, and a spicy guy, fighting a good fight till the end, we will miss him.  Rest In Peace Tio Vicente!

El bello sonido cuando tocabas el piano en casa  es una de mis favoritas memorias de mi niñez en Miami. 

Mi querido Papi, siempre estarás en mis pensamientos, mis recuerdos, y mi corazón.  Tu hija favorita y unica, Perla
