    A Man that leaves a beautiful legacy when he is gone, lived a beautiful life. Rest in peace knowing that you lead by example when it came to your children, Friends and Family. I know you passed on the gift as a musician to your children and grandchildren. However, you will always be remembered as an awesome man in the Hispanic community too. May your family always remember you as time goes on and pass on your values. So sorry to all of you. God Bless you all.
