He was born in Puerto Rico. In his early years his entire family moved to New York. There he followed in his father's footsteps being a baker by trade after serving in the United States Air force. Soon after he met his beautiful wife to be Maria and was married by the age of 22. Their marriage was filled with love, laughter, dancing, travels and an abundance of family gatherings. He took over the family business Los Angeles Bakery when his parents decided to move from New York. He also owned a social club where there were numerous gatherings with family and friends playing dominoes, cards & billiards. He enjoyed playing baseball/softball and watching sports on tv. In the early 80's the family moved to Florida to be closer to both sides of their families as most had moved to Florida by then. In Florida he continued his trade, was a member of the Lions Club, The Puerto Rican Association (ABUFI) and continued playing ball.

Family & friends meant the world to him. He relished in the gatherings, parties, celebrations and outings seeing all his kids, nieces, nephews grandchildren and family friends activities.

He lived a good life. He was a proud & loving patriarch. He will be missed immensely.
