Devout Catholic, San Francisco native, Proud Boriqua, and the Ladies' First Pick.
The world was blessed with this incredible man March 17, 1925, and called home by the dear Lord, June 8, 2013.
Papa was a distinguished businessman, established investor, highly respected dealership owner, renowned dancer, and proud family man.
He is survived by his daughters Georgette, Antoinette, Marlene, Mary, Gina, Chanel and his dearly departed sons Earnesto and Demetrius. As well as many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
The world is a better place because of him, and he will be dearly missed.
