Charro was a truck driver in the oilfield. He was known to many for being a handyman. He built his own home and would fix anything from doing mechanics on cars to fixing mini bikes to inventing machinery which transferred mud for the oilfield industry. Charro enjoyed having breakfast and speaking to his friends. He will forever be remembered to his family for his unconditional love and his strong will to participate in all family occasions, including playing bingo. Adolfo is a true definition of "when there is a will, there is a way." He will be dearly missed.

My heart goes out to my cousins in the lose of their father/grandfather. My most vivid memories of Tio is when I was young and we would come and visit from Illinois. I always thought of him as a giant-a big hearty man. I recall him always telling Tia to leave us alone that she was scaring us, LOL. May you RIP in our Lord.
