Enrique T. Diaz

He was predeceased by his parents, Guillermo and Maria Elena and his sister Virginia.

He was the brother of Emilio and beloved uncle to Barbara, Joe, Judy, Luis and many other nieces and nephews.

Born in Havana Cuba, he loved music, dancing, baseball and enjoying the beach. After graduating from high school he began a career working for H. Upmann & Co. as a tobacco quality control inspector.

He later emigrated to the United States with his wife and moved to Yonkers, NY and then Miami, FL where they eventually settled. He began a new career with Automatic Fasteners and later joined Allied Fasteners and Tools where he was responsible for ordering, inventory management and in-house sales.

Throughout the years, with his caring and fun personality, he established and nurtured a network of friends and relationships that have lasted a lifetime.

He retired in 2008 and dedicated his spare time to following current events and world politics, as well as expanding his vast digital music recording library, and making personalized recordings for family and friends. The highlight of his day was spending quality time with his beloved Yorkshire Terrier and best friend, Ricky.

He was known for his unquestionable dedication and dependability beyond reproach. A longtime contributor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, he had a passion for spreading kindness and helping others.

Enrique was a loyal, gentle soul and a beacon of light in the community. He was a quick-witted gentleman with a jovial personality and infectious laugh who always found the brighter side of life.

He will be missed.
