"Papi reminded me so much of my own beloved grandpa and he made me feel just as loved. Papi was kind, loving, generous and a giant of a man. When he smiled at you it literally felt like a hug. I think that was one of his many gifts to his family and friends. He knew how to make you feel special and loved. I will forever hold on to the warmth of his smile in my heart. May he Rest In Peace. "
