Our dad was a man of few words, but his facial expressions and one-liners always made us laugh. He was always ready to offer you a shot, enjoyed playing cards and dominoes, loved his cigars, and remained a loyal fan of the Silver & Black por vida.

Salud, Dad, until we see you again. Vaya con cuidado
