Jesus came to the United States in 1970 from Guantanamo, Cuba. He endured many obstacles during his travels to America from Cuba, to conquer his freedom, but he was strong and resilient and overcame each and everyone of them. Here he met his lovely wife, Rosa. Jesus was a family man and spent every moment with his wife. He loved her dearly and treated her with kindness and respect. He loved his visits from his children and grandchildren and felt that family was important. Jesus was a very warm hearted, loving, and caring individual.
He was a hard worker who worked for Ivex corp.,formerly St.Regis paper co, for 40 years as a proud union machinist. He was a church man, and devoted his service to God every Sunday and volunteered his time accordingly. He was a huge sports fanatic and loved to watch the Patriots, Celtics and Bruins in action, but his dedication went to his most beloved favorite team, The Boston Red Sox. He enjoyed spending time playing Dominos with his friends, which he was a master at. No one could beat him! He will be loved forever and will truly be missed. Rest in heaven my love, our dad and abuelito!
