I was sorry to hear the news that Rafael had passed away. I worked with Rafael for a short time at Chase Brothers Dairy. I also got to know his two sons Mario and Arnold while coaching little league baseball. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family members during this most painful time. I regret not being able to attend his services to pay my respect to his family. May God Bless everyone during this most difficult time.
