My condolences to your family Brother Louie. Gonna miss you lots. I will remember the good times playing the "maquinitas". Those were lots of fun evenings that we had. There was always lots of laughter and sometimes the "big winnings" were awesome. I'm sure you enjoyed my good tips, lol. May you rest in peace with the Good Lord up above.
