He was a skilled concrete finisher and worked in construction for over 40 years. But he was more than just his work. Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-grandfather, Brother, Uncle, Friend, etc, the man had many titles. All of which meant that he had a special place in the hearts of others. This is because he welcomed all with an open heart and an open home. His favorite past-times included jamming out on the guitar and singing, Barbequing with family and friends, and cheering on his favorite Houston teams, The Rockets, The Astros, and especially The Texans. More than anything else, he loved spending time with his wife of 42 years, Maria DeLeon, and his grandchildren, of whom he was very proud.
