This is memory from 1992 when tío Toño’s sister Luisa, (my mom) visited Puerto Rico. Tío, you were and are a great force among those who love you. You will be immensely missed.  May you Rest In Peace. Bendición.  

Con cariño, Rosa (Rosin)

Gracias Papi por ser un padre tan maravilloso .  Que estes con Dios en la Gloria. Que en paz descanses.

My father lived a long and meaningful life of 93 years, marked by strength, resilience, honor, and an unwavering love for his family. As a proud member of the 65th Infantry Regiment, the Borinqueneers, he served our country with courage and distinction, a legacy that will forever fill our family with pride.

Throughout his life, my father received many outstanding awards and recognitions for his military service and dedication. The most distinguished of these was the Congressional Gold Medal, presented in Washington, D.C., in recognition of the extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and service of the 65th Infantry Regiment, the Borinqueneers. He accepted this remarkable honor with the same humility, grace, and quiet dignity that defined his life, never seeking recognition for the sacrifices he made in service to his country.

A devoted Catholic, my father lived his faith with compassion, gratitude, and humility. He was also a devoted husband who shared 65 wonderful years of marriage with the love of his life. Their enduring love and commitment were an inspiration to our family and to everyone who knew them

Thank you for sharing your wonderful light, your spirituality, your strong family values, and your sense of humor with our entire family. Thank you for being a fine example of strength and dignity for all.  You will be sorely missed.  Rest in eternal peace along with Titi Mary, Tony, and Edwin.

This was the time Lily and I took my mom and Titi Mary to the casino.  We stayed behind and ate, drank and even convinced Tio to get a tattoo while the sisters enjoyed time at the slots.  Circa 2013.

Mi querido Compay y cuñado,

Hoy terminaste tu jornada en este mundo y te reuniste con el amor de tu vida Mary, tus dos hijos y junto al Señor en su Reino. Tus queridos hijos, nietos, biznietos, hermanos cuñados y sobrinos te recordamos con mucho amor. 

Descansa en paz eterna.

Dear Antonio and family, 

My heart aches for you all during this difficult time. Your father, Antonio, was such a remarkable man, and I feel so blessed to have known him.
I will always carry the fondest memories of him—especially the warmth and laughter we shared making pasteles together in Wanda’s kitchen. He poured so much love into everything he did, especially when it came to his family and his service in the Military. 
                                                   Sincerely Venus

He loved being surrounded by all these beautiful women, he smiled so much for the photo!! 😍💐🥰

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, my dear friend. May you find comfort in the knowledge that he is now resting in peace, reunited with your mom and  home with our Lord. I remember them in fun times  dancing with each other looking happy watching their family around them. May these memories fill your heart and bring a smile to your face. I know that your love and devotion to them both meant everything.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, my dear friend. May you find comfort in knowing that he is now resting in peace, reunited with your mom and they are home with Our Lord.
