Carlos immigrated to the United States with less than two dollars in his pocket. He served the US Navy from 1951 to 1955 during the Korean War and was stationed on the USS Sage. After his honorable discharge, he settled in Rochester, NY and married the love of his life, Lilia, married for 41 beautiful years. Carlos was a hard working employee, retiring from Eastman Kodak. He was enjoying his retirement with his loving family and many dear friends.
To know him was to love him. Carlos never met a person that did not like or remember him for his kindness and his generous ways. He was known as the patriarch of the family and everyone's "Uncle Carlos". Carlos might have started with very little but he left this life with everything!
