My condolences to his family, especially to his wife, my cousin Leticia and daughter Kelly, I had the honor of meeting him when you saw my cousin, his treatment was wonderful both for me and for my son, I remember that he prepared me some potatoes with bacon and cheese delicious oven, some charcoal hamburgers. Rest in peace.
