He came to the United States in his twenties. He worked over 35 years in building maintenance and during that time he was able to bring all of his family members to America, including his mother and stepfather. He was very much a family man. Cesar enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren whom he loved dearly. He and his wife Rita, married 28 years, enjoyed get togethers with family and friends as often as possible. He loved music, dancing and soccer. He was an avid gardener and wonderful cook. Cesar had a kind and generous heart. He was loved by all, family and friends. Cesar was a great admirer of his country, Peru and strong believer in his faith, including the patron saint of Peru, Senor de los Milagros.
