Mi mas sincero pésame para toda la familia. Tuve la suerte de coincidir con Raul en Symantec/Veritas y guardo buenos recuerdos. 

Solo puedo esperar vivir mi vida con la energía y el entusiasmo que siempre pude ver de ti en la escuela secundaria y la universidad. Desde el momento en que Iván y yo nos hicimos amigos, me acogiste y me trataste como uno de los tuyos y estoy seguro de que hoy soy una mejor persona gracias a tu influencia. En un mundo extraño, me gusta creer que ya has encontrado a Mike y estás pasando el rato en el gran Backyard Burger en el cielo. Siempre estarás en nuestros recuerdos, especialmente cuando finalmente aprenda español como me dijiste que debería y deje de usar el traductor de Google.

Una persona muy amable que siempre buscaba ayudar a los demás. Me acuerdo que sonreía cuando hablaba con él y cuando necesite de el me apoyo sin ningún problema.  El estuvo ahí cuando me inicie como instructor de gcp y siempre tenía alguna idea importante a compartir. Me acordaré de esas buenas memorias.

Even though I din't know him much, I heard from both my mom and my brother how kind and loving he was. He's  now another Angel in heaven now, he will be missed. My condolences to his family. 

Apenas ayer me entere de esta triste noticia, conoci al Sr. Raul y trabaje para el,  un seńor muy educado, amable y muy dulce, siento mucho su partida, Dios lo tenga en su gloria. 

We met through Wag, the dog walking app for Niki but we became great friends in a short period of time.  Never expected to meet and share many great memories.  Raul is the father I always wanted to have.  Such a kind heart and supportive.  We walked our dogs together a lot and take them out for car rides, just hang out at home and watch tv, eat food together.

I remember Raul. We worked together for a short time at Infoblox, just before he landed his dream job at Google. He was a good person, always larger than life and always willing to help. Condolences to his family and friends.

I was very sad to hear of Raul's passing.  My deepest condolences to his family, especially to China and Raysa.  May he Rest in Eternal Peace.  

Raul built my first computer. I knew nothing about how to work a computer and would constantly call to ask questions in the first weeks after I got my computer. He was so patient and always took the time to answer all of my questions. He talked about his family and  left no doubt they were his world. I am so sorry he is gone but he will always have a special place in my heart.

Raul was my neighbor for seven years from 1993 until 2000. He taught me how to build computers and do some programming as well. I became close to his wife, Ivan and his mother and I love them dearly. 
Many people come into your life but few leave an impression, Raul always left impression.
Rest in peace my brother. 

Raquel & Family,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Hopefully you can gain some strength in this difficult time from remembering the joy and positive energy Raul brought to the world.

My memory:
I hired Raul into Google as one of our first technical trainers for Google Cloud, and had the opportunity to manage him for just over a year.  I remember our regular meetings and that he always had a smile on his face and his reply to any request was "yes m'aam". He was also a big hugger, and on the few times we met in person (I am based in London), Raul would be one of the first to welcome me in the Sunnyvale office with a big hug. You would always leave such encounters with a big smile on your face. 
He will be deeply missed by his Google family.

Te amaré y te extrañaré por siempre papá. Siempre estarás grabado en mi memoria. 

Raul came into our lives through my work in Canada but quickly became a friend.  I'm glad we were able to see each other in Miami at Garcia's while Sylvie and I were on vacation.  We had a wonderful time with both of you and those memories will stay on forever.  

You will be missed, my friend.  All our love to the family.

Hi, I worked with Raul at Veritas/Symantec for many years. Raul always had a bright outlook in everything he did. Raul did not take himself too seriously, which made him a joy to work with. I hope you will come together soon as a family and celebrate a great man. Raul will be missed and know he had a great impact on me. 

Some of my fondest memories of high school are of spending time at the Lozano’s house. Raul often had homemade Flan on hand and would try to get us all to eat it. I had never eaten flan until I met Raul and I can still picture him handing me a plate of it whenever I came over. What I remember most from those get togethers was how proud Raul was of Ivan. He always made Ivan out to be the smartest person in the room, which he was, and I could tell how proud he was to be Ivan’s dad. It’s something that’s always stuck with me. Raul always welcomed all of us with open arms. He will be missed. 

Raul was such a loving and fun person. He made me feel like I had a second home and always called me “son.” I remember countless LAN parties where he gamed with us, ripped us movies, and just made sure we had a great time and felt welcomed. He also raised one of my best friends into the man he is today and I’ll always be grateful for the contributions he made to mine and my friends lives. 

Viaje a costa Rica exelente vacaciones la pasaron súper bien hay conocí a estas exelente personas don Raúl y doña Raquel 

Raul’s energy and warmth were contagious, and I’ll never forget his excitement greeting me – or any one of our friends that he welcomed like family – with a huge hug.  Everyone got the full experience, yet he made every interaction special.  That sensation was Raul’s calling card, he immediately made you feel like family.  I don’t know that I’ve met anyone else like Raul; I’m grateful to have known him, and a better person because of him.  Thank you, Dad, for the great times, wise words, and unforgettable smile.

My prayers and heartfelt condolences go out to our family for the very sad loss of Raul.  Raul really enjoyed life, he loved his family and friends, he loved what he did for a living, he loved traveling,  and he loved treating himself to life's small pleasures that so many of us never take the opportunity to do.  I was his Prima and he helped me anyway he could during some difficult times.  Raul was always there to help anyone or any thing that needed him.  I remember seeing a  tortoise under his car, I noticed that it had a fish hook stuck in his mouth and it wasn't doing well.  I called out to Raul and immediately he came to the rescue.  He cut the hook with wire cutters (which wasn't easy) and set the turtle free in the lake behind his house.  He was kind and companionate and he will be truly missed.  To China his children and his grandchildren, may the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.  God Bless you all and God Bless you Raul.

When I joined the Google Training Team, it was Raul, David and I. Raul was my mentor. I never officially taught classes before and I learned by watching and listening to him.

I was nervous about doing a good job and he always said "all you have to do is set expectations, then they can't fault you for anything less than what you promise." 

With Raul, you were going to get an engaging and personal insight into the man, his family and everything he loved. His story telling was raved about by students and audiences alike. His laughter was a homing beacon in a large crowd. If you were looking for the happiest individual in the room, it was Raul. 

His showmanship in public was only matched by his sincerity in private. I enjoyed sitting at the hotel restaurants sharing stories with him. He was always made you feel welcomed and he genuinely cared about everyone.

We had many fun moments as coworkers. For him it wasn't a job, it was a passion. He was a man made for an audience, and a father made for a family. I'm grateful for our times and memories together.

He his presence will be missed.

Mucha fortaleza  a  toda la familia  y que Descanse en paz junto a Nuestro Padre y Jesus te extraňaremos mucho y siempre  estaras en nuestro corazon amigo DEP

To my partner in crime RAUL,

I’m broken hearted to hear of your passing my dear friend.  You will be greatly missed by all.  You were the light on a dark tunnel for anyone who knew you.  

You were a man of faith, family, & honesty.  I will always cherish the long walks around the neighborhood with Nikki & Lily having a ball.  I will forever remember all the stories of la jodedera of times past.  

To Ivan, Ester, & China you will be in my prayers & Raul loved you guys.  He was so proud of you all & he would not go a day without praising you guys.

My friend from my family to you; we love you & will always remember you!



I just heard about Raul's passing. He was a lovely man and I'm so sorry to hear about this.  We worked for a time together at Seagate and I really got to know him (and China) when we spent two weeks in Chile for work.   I'll always remember them salsa at the nightclub. 
My thoughts are with his family. He'll be missed. 
Adiós Raul. Enjoy the pisco in heaven.

(I don't have any great pictures of him from Chile, but here we are at Valapariso in 2013)

I worked with Raul at multiple companies over the years.  He was always very upbeat and positive.  Truly a wonderful and giving person.    It pains me to know that he is no longer with us.  My deepest and heartfelt condolences to his family.

Raul,

You opened your home to me, and always treated me like a son. You had an amazing ability to light up the room, just by being there— always wanting to brighten up the lives of those around you. Even though I swear you almost gave me a heart attack the first time I tried Cuban coffee, I’ve never been able to find a cup as good as yours. I’ll never forget the UF football games, the times at your house in Ocoee, or especially the best New Years I’ve had in Miami and your house...you helped pull all of us out of the terrible year that 2010 was.

Eternally grateful, 

Shoop

Raul,

You were the life of the party.  I mean I learned from you how to have a good time. I will never forget your openness to bring people like me into your family and treat us like your own son. You truly showed me how to be a better, more accepting and loving person. This characteristic was infectious - from Ivan’s circle of friends, I don’t think there was one of us that didn’t learn how to be a better person from you. In that way, you were a father figure to all of us. We are truly going to miss you, your warm embraces and your persistent smile. Rest In Peace, Dad.  I will cherish the memories we had together.

My sympathies to Raul's entire family!  From the first time I met Raul at Veritas I would say he was the kind of guy who never met a stranger and certainly became not just a coworker but a friend.   I remember once I walked down the hall in the Oakbrook office and immediately heard Raul's joyful laugh.   I will miss that joyful energy.  RIP

Raul is the only childhood friend that I kept in touch with for almost 50 years. When you know someone that long they become family along the way and we became brothers. The fishing trips with his mom Cora and his dad Julio on the 26' formula. He taught me how to spear fish, clean fish and eat fish. He loved the crunchy tail fins and hogfish was his favorite. I knew Veronica his first wife and Ester his daughter when she was a newborn. He taught me how to work on the electrical systems of luxury motor yachts. He and his 2nd wife Raquel always welcomed me into their home with love, food and laughter, watching Pepito and Ivan grow up. I will never forget the wonderful times in Orlando at Disney with my children.  He opened his home up to me after I was left homeless by hurricane Charlie. Over the years and even long distances he always checked up on me. We often spoke in Klingon. Only trekkies will understand that. Raul you will be missed but not forgotten. Rest in peace my brother.
 

Raul,

Thank you for always being so ridiculously you. I’ll never forget how saying hello to Paul or I was to literally yell D’Uva as loud as you can with open arms and running for a long embrace. Thank you for letting us into your home as if we were you own sons. You and your family extended your hearts to so many people and you’ve left many great memories. You taught your children to live life to the fullest and to never quit learning. Here’s to one more D’Uva dance for you.

Raul was always so welcoming and joyful. I was new to Ivan’s friend group but his family made me feel instantly included. I always looked forward to holiday parties and football games. I know his generous and hospitable personality have transferred to Ivan and I am thankful to be able to call him a friend. 

Raul, you were always ready with a smile and laugh. I'll always remember how we snuck out of the Christmas party to do shots from the bottles in our cars because we were too cheap to buy alcohol in the hotel. You ended up ripping your pants open on the dance floor and we've laughed about it ever since. I have so many good memories of you. You were a good friend, father, husband and you will be missed! May God bless and keep your family. Until we meet again...

Raulito, my great cube buddy at Seagate/Veritas when I first started with the company.  Always teaching and willing to help.  Will never forget my customers asking me about the engineer next to me who sounded super happy and having a great time!  Will never forget the energy and your great smile.  Our condolences to the family and may his soul rest in peace. 
Que en paz descanse Raulito y que brille para el la luz perpetua.  Nuestras condolencias para la familia y aquí comparto esta oración que está unida a nuestras oraciones... 
Dios de misericordia y amor,
ponemos en tus manos amorosas
a nuestro hermano Raúl  que has llamado de esta vida a tu presencia.  En esta vida le demostraste tu gran amor, y ahora que ya está libre de toda preocupación concédele pasar con seguridad las puertas de la muerte
y gozar de la luz y la paz eterna.
Habiendo terminado su vida terrena recíbelo en el paraíso, en donde ya no habrá tristeza ni dolor, sino únicamente felicidad y alegría con Jesús, tu Hijo, y con el Espíritu Santo, para siempre.
Amén. 🙏💙🙏

It's hard to put into words the impact that Raul has had on my life. His loud laugh, his contagious energy, and his endless passion and love will be missed dearly. I'll never forget the first time I really met Raul, when Ivan invited us over to hang out and play video games. Within an hour, Raul had already soundly dominated all of us at our own video games. Little did I know that, when I met and Ivan in 7th grade, our friendship would blossom into a true brotherhood. And, along with a brother for life, I would get a full family along with it! Raul would refer to all of us who were friends of Ivan as "son" and he meant it. He was there for everyone at any point and would give you the shirt off of his back or the best piece of advice he had for any situation.  I already miss Raul dearly and will cherish all of the memories that I have of him for the rest of my life. While I will miss him, his legacy will live on through his family (both literal family and all of us who he adopted into the family) and all of those who he made an impact on. Rest well, Dad - you will be missed!

Raul,  

A few hundred freshly caught snapper deboned and grilled later I think I finally mastered the technique from an excellent teacher all while sipping on perfectly crafted Cuban coffees.  A week of relaxation and basking in the Florida sun, the Keys will never be the same.

From the Florida basketball & football games, birthdays at your home with all of your 'kids', you truly were the life of the party.

Here's to one last D'Uva Dance for you.

Raul will always be part of my most special memories.  Grandfather of (VVL) Veritas Vatos Locos, and more importantly, always was there to help guide and support and help out wherever and whomever.   His home and office cube were always opened if you wanted a good laugh or learn something new.  I truly loved hearing him talk about how proud he was of his kids!  My sincere condolences to the family, and I'm so sorry for our loss.  Ultimately We do have comfort and hope for the future if we rest our hope on Jehovah and on his word the Bible.   

Raul will be missed by all who knew him well. A favorite memory is at conferences we would go out with him looking for a place to salsa dance. He always had so much energy and positivity that he brought everyone up to a higher level.

Raul was the most vibrant person at Veritas! He had such a great attitude about everything and lit up every room and heart he came to... A truly beautiful soul... Every life he touched was uplifted by his ability to filter out the unimportant things and focus on thoughts from the heart. He always had a smile that was as warm as the sun. He will be missed...
