Uncle Santos was my Dad´s "brother in law", (married to my Auntie Santa for the past 40+ years) they called each other "BRO; they were true partners in crime, they loved to talk politics, and swap stories. I loved to hear Santo´s stories, from growing up in Decoto to being part of the Bracero Movement. We will miss his smile, laughter and positive spirit.
