Alvaro didn’t have much when he came to the United States, but was generous to those who were less fortunate. He petitioned his in laws to come to the United States so his children can grow up with family who wanted to come to the US. Alvaro had a kind heart for those who cared for his children.

He loved watching tennis, the Boston Celtics and the New England Patriots.

He looked forward to Holidays and special occasions so he can celebrated with those he loved.
