Tio told the most hilarious jokes! His laughter was contagious and a real hearty belly laugh!
Going to San Salvador with him. He accompanied me for some personal business.
When my Mom (Tio’s older sister) passed I had been staying in her hospital room every night. I lived 2 hrs away and was planning to go home to pick up proper clothes to wear at her funeral.
Somehow Tio knew and he offered to take me shopping for an outfit including shoes. He wouldn’t take “No” for an answer.
What I learned through example from my Tio is to take “Pride” in the work you do no matter how small.
Tio making homemade ice cream on the 4th of July at my home.
He found real joy in claiming that as his job. He spent the 4th of July with us every year when I moved to Fair Oaks, CA.
Loving you and having you for so long was a blessing to our whole family!!
The void will never be filled 💔🙏🏼❤️

I proudly inherited that side as well! I will keep it going daddy! Love and miss you every moment ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Tu Hija
