Jaime Carpena

Your father was awesome. I am grateful for the bond we shared and I will never forget the times we had together. God bless him, and God bless your family

My father was many things to me: but mostly my friend - Countless trips overseas just the 2 of us, looking for my flat; trips to the Mall or Costco - I dragged him around, even if Don and my mom didn´t want to go - he always "took the ride" -

My parents have had a beautiful "Love Story" they met after my mother Graduated from college (a rarity then) and she went to Spain to vacation with her friend - while sitting on the beach, my dad came over and lit her cigarette and ...that´s when the story began.

He came to this country as an immigrant and with the help from my mom, learned the language ....reading his tribute will tell you what type of man he was -

Not only was he a loving husband and father, he was an amazing grandfather ... one of my memories that will always make me smile is when the hired "Red Power Ranger" was late and a little drunk to my sons 7th birthday party - he wanted to put the VERY TIGHT, FORM FITTING costume on and play the role - (he didn´t and glad for that, as that would have been another etched memory)

He didn't just teach me how to live; he showed me and I am forever grateful for all the beautiful memories -

I know when my time here is finished, he will be at the front gate waiting for me -

Until we can share some Almejas and Bottle of Wine again dad ...I will hold you in my heart and miss you everyday

Keith & I were so saddened to hear of Jaime's passing but so honored to have been a fellow Cypress Lake neighbor. We so enjoyed our walks around the neighborhood and always looked forward to our conversations with Jamie and would chuckle as Mickey circled on her bike. We'll always have cherished memories of how much he loved Lucky, as did we, and he would let him off leash to come running to give me doggy kisses. He will be very much missed but always remembered. Hugs & prayers to Mickey and the entire family.

Love and miss you grandpa. Forever loved and always missed
Your memories will forever be in our hearts

Always in our memories and thoughts of eternity.
