We use to laugh all the time. Every time he did his Helen Lawson from Valley of the Dolls, we would both be cracking up. I miss him every day.
I was very lucky to be his friend.

I will always cherish the fun times we had. His spirit was so full and his soul was so tender and strong. Heaven is even a better place now because of his presense.

Alfredo was more than a brother, he was a friend, uncle, brother-in-law and an awesome overall person. He touched many lives and now is gone. Someday we will be united in heaven, but for now we must go on. It will be hard but i know you would want us to celebrate your life as you always did. I miss you brother. Love, Ernie Cotto.
