Luis Santiago Santiago, age 93, entered in eternal peace on April 23, 2018, in Tampa, Florida. He was born in Aibonito, Puerto Rico on May 15, 1924. He proudly served in the US Army during World War II and in 1950 graduated from the College of Engineering in Mayaquez, Puerto Rico as a Surveyor. He worked as a civil engineer with the US Navy for over 34 years and retired in 1983. After retirement, he settled in Tampa, Florida.
He is survived by his loving family including his wife of 62 years, Maria Teresa, his sons Luis, Rolando, and Arturo, his daughter Daisy, seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. He was a caring, loving, supporting person that loved to be among family and friends. He prayed daily for God's blessing and protection, and always believed in the power of prayer as a two-way conversation with God. Our family is proud to have had such an exemplary person and role model that taught us moral values and valuable lessons in life.
