After his retirement from the Internal Revenue Service, he opened his own CPA office in Clinton, and practiced until 2013, at the age of 94. Carlos enjoyed composing songs and poems. He was a very loving husband, father, grandfather and brother. He was a very giving person that took life seriously, but not himself.
