A cousin and a friend, he was present at more than a couple of moments in my life. Bald since his thirties and never without that moustache! he cut a path of machismo and laughter everywhere he went. I looked up to him and he was never unkind. He never lost his boyish sense of play and he knew how to sing a song. A good man to the end, he never claimed to be perfect, but he always was real. I can say that I loved him because he represented a certain decency in my childhood, a belief that no matter what people might say about you,that in the end,love conquers all. May God's love be with the family at this time.
