He retired with honors from the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority as a Motor Man.

 “Papito” was a loving father and a wonderful husband, a very kind and loyal person, always willing to lend a helping hand. His friends and family could always count on him. Many of his childhood friends remained as his friends as they grew older because of his great and easy personality.  Papito was a   devoted and active member at Allen Cathedral in Queens, NY, serving as an usher, he was also a member of the men’s group, bringing community members to a closer relationship with God.
