Roberto worked for many years at Marathon Letournea where he met his best friend, Adolfo Torriz, and remained friends until he went to heaven.
After retiring from Rich SeaPak, he started landscaping which was his passion. He enjoyed planting flowers and keeping up with the yard. He was also the best handyman we knew, always up for a challenge to repair anything. He enjoyed having cook-outs with his family and friends. He was a very loving and caring person who enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren which brought him joy.
He will be missed dearly by his friends and family.
Roberto is survived by his wife, Alicia Soto; his daughter Rosie Rebote (Fred); his daughter Englantina Seay (Jerry); and his daughter Sulema Avila; his granddaughter Laura Soto (Sara), his granddaughter Jennifer Johnson (Darris), his grandson Joe Robert Gonzalez (Liz), his granddaughter Analicia Garcia (Mario), his grandson Dimitri Avila Jr., his granddaughter Roberta Castañeda, his grandson Felipe Castaneda Jr., his grandson Sergio N.
