He was a Globe trotter and loved to travel anywhere he could, especially Europe. He loved Bullet Bikes and Fast cars especially Ferraris and his beloved Maserati. He had the gift of tongues and spoke several languages which included, English, Spanish, Italian and French.
He was a loving, kind soul who always took the time to smile and make anybody around him feel special. He mentored many individuals helping them to change their lives and look ahead to the future and better themselves. He looked after his family especially his brothers. He had a way with people and the talent to befriend a complete stranger. He was a giving individual that thought always about others before himself. God be with you ’til we meet again.
