Ciriaco’s nickname to all loved ones was “Papa.”

Anyone that knew Papa, was aware of his strong faith to the Catholic Church and his unwavering devotion to the blessed Mother of Perpetual Help.

Papa was a loving husband who stood by his wife. Their bond was a testament to enduring love. He loved spending time with family and friends. His presence was a blessing. His warmth, generosity, and genuine care left indelible mark on our hearts. We will forever remember his smile, his stories, and the way he made us feel cherished.

May he rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love he gave so freely.
