Eduardo loved to travel to his native country and visit with his beloved  family. One of his passions was music. He was able to play piano or an accordion by ear. He never took a music class but was able to replicate it just by hearing it.

Eduardo was also a wonderful storyteller; his laughter was so contagious. His stories made you feel like you were living in that moment. His knowledge of history was always so informative and so full of details. His grandkids as well as his family and friends enjoyed listening to his stories and all you can hear was their laughter. Eduardo also enjoyed giving his family and friends loving nicknames.  We will cherish these memories forever.
