He loved music, he would listen to his favorite music for hours and he just loved to dance. He was great at card games and enjoyed going to the casino. He had a ‘green thumb’ and could make any tree or vegetable grow. His favorite food was chili rellenos and all kinds of fish and his favorite drinks were coffee and a cold Pepsi. He would have such fond memories of California as a young man newly married, he loved going fishing anywhere there were fish. Later he moved to Glendale AZ and retired from Glendale Community College, but he did return to his roots in Carlsbad NM. Here he enjoyed gardening and he always loved to put on a great BBQ. He loved watching wheel of fortune and old western shows whenever he had a chance. His favorite season was always football season. He loved his little snacks and would always eat everything with a knife and fork. He had such great style in fashion. When he got dressed, he always loved wearing nice clothes and nice shoes as well as flashy watches. He was so classy yet so humble. He was a friend to all who knew him.
