The picture above is day my dad gave me away! He told me Joe would me a good man for me, I didn’t think so :) but he knew and he was absolutely correct, 42 years and counting! He loved Joe. They would talk politics, card, and stocks. I learned so much from papi..... to mentioned a few ...working on cars, cooking, adding numbers in my head, helping others, and the teachings of God. That was the most important thing to him. The last time he was able to talk he said, “ I love you and follow God always” Papi a true man of God to the very end. He touched so many lives! I’m so honored to be called his daughter. I will miss his great smile, our daily phone calls and his long jokes. I will miss his long prayers at thanksgiving. Papi loved his family and loved when we all got together. Papi’s a man with a BIG HEART!! I love you and will MISS you.
