A man with many stories, I enjoyed listening to him tell his story and to see him excited and laughing was priceless. He always expressed love for his family. We would go out to eat and I'd have to fight with him (not physically) to let me pay the bill lol. Best believe if I paid for the food he was surely going to leave the tip, he just wasn't going to let me do it all without him being involved somehow lol.
Sleep in peace MR. Juan
