He was born in La Ceiba Honduras July 17, 1948 and came to the US at the age of 12 and eventually became a US Citizen. He grew up and remained in New Orleans and called it home. He lived his last days at Riverbend assisted living center in Belle Chasse and was very happy and well cared for by their staff. He always boasted his biggest accomplishment in life were his children of whom he was beyond proud. He also worked for the NOPD for some years and those stories of his experiences were his favorite to share with others. He was also a part of the United Cab Company for 20+ years. Most will regard him as a happy go lucky, never a worry, always a joke at hand person. His heart was the kindest that most ever knew. His first thoughts were always “how can I help, let me see what I can do for you”. He had a huge wonderful personality that will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
