My Uncle Lalo truly was an angel in my life. When I was a little girl, before he married, he and my Aunt Dora would sit with me, teaching me my ABCs and even how to sit properly at the table. I remember us playing tea, and from them I learned how to use my fork, knife, and spoon.

Later in life, I remember my grandmother and I was probably like six years old, taking the bus from the corner of Hunter to Jefferson High School, where my uncle worked in the cafeteria. My grandmother and I would wait for him at the back door, and he would lovingly bring us a tray of food when we didn’t have much. That kindness has always stayed with me.

After he married my aunt Irene, while I was still living with my grandmother, he and my Aunt Irene(his ex-wife who cared for him to the very end), lovingly cared for me whenever my grandmother had surgery. I didn’t want to stay with my mom, so Uncle Lalo stepped in. He made sure I had breakfast every morning—always cream of wheat and toast—and he would take me to school and pick me up afterward.

For a little girl like me, that care and love meant the world. I will always remember him fondly, and I truly believe that Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.

I will always remember the stories Lalo would tell me of his childhood growing up. They were good-humored and we both laughed out loud when he would tell them to me. Re-living his childhood always brought a twinkle into his eyes and a smile on his face. You will be missed my friend. Rest in peace.
