Chuma was employed last by FMC as a forklift operator for 12 years before retiring. He loved to watch all sports, but more passionately he followed tennis. He not only enjoyed playing the game, he also attended tennis matches. Chuma had an incredible memory for events in history, actors names, he delighted in solving math problems, and more remarkably, remembering every birthday or death anniversary of his family and their extended family. He enjoyed watching the Olympics and would amaze family members with his knowledge of the athlete's history of accomplishments and past metals achieved in earlier games. Watching classic old movies both mexican and american movies would fill his days. He loved all music and really loved to go to the public library. That was his happy place. It held a wealth of knowledge at his fingertips. Visiting with family was always appreciated. Catching up on the latest happenings and events in their life. The silent joy felt when your sharing the day with your family near you.
