Roberto was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle. He was an honorable man who always sought after the well-being of others. He was quick to lend a hand whenever a person was in need, but most of all he enjoyed teaching others the little things in life that mattered most.-He was blessed with a beautiful life and always led by example, for honoring his wife Victoria for more than 49 years, and has taught his family the true meaning of commitment. He adored spending time with his family, especially his children and grandchildren whom he loved unconditionally. He was a devout parishioner of Christ The King Church and maintained his unyielding faith in our Lord by reading His word in the bible.
