Javier and I grew up together, we were brothers. We remained in touch through the years, he always called on special occasions especially on my Birthday, we were born 3 days apart and he never failed to call and wish me a Happy Birthday. Sadly he did not answer my last Birthday call! Our prayers and condolences to his family!!!

We will miss you my brother!

RIP
