Our beloved father was happiest when he was with family, listening to music, singing, dancing, cooking his delicious birria, making his carne Asada, and when enjoying his afternoon naps and - oh boy, could Dad snore.

“Wow! What a beautiful life I lived, God gave me the opportunity to live 74 great years, many wish they would have lived my life. God really gave me the gift of 74 years and for that I am grateful, not many get to do that. During my journey God blessed me with the love of my life- my beautiful wife, then as our journey began to unfold the good lord gifted me with the gift of being a father to seven wonderful children my pride and joy – My “Siete Mares”, Yes! my seven seas and just like the ocean waves our life began to unfold with many beautiful memories, and just like the waves they each had their own story to tell, no one wave was the same. There was never a dull moment with them just plenty of surprises along the way that created many wonderful memories that I will take with me. They were all my reason for living, I dedicated my life to them, to my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren whom I loved so much. I instilled in each every one of them my passion, and if you know me well you know what I’m talking about “My passion and love for music and singing”. So don’t be sad now that God has called me to be with him just remember all the wonderful memories we created, remember the great times we spent together, and when you miss me just listen to one of the many favorite songs I played, I love you and know that I am here with you. This is not a goodbye, just like I will carry you in my heart you carry me in yours, remember to “live your life in God’s hands,” just like I did. For its better to walk by faith and not by sight.
