He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces & nephews. Roque was fun loving, outgoing, strong as a bull, give you the shirt off his back, contagious laugh, contagious smile, dart player, hardworking, funny, soft hearted, a fighter, a father, a brother, a son, an uncle, a grandpa, a great cook, a friend, loved by many and a child of God. He could walk into a room and bring it to life with his outgoing personality and his crazy loud laugh. He knew and talked to everyone. He was loved by many and was generous to all. He seemed like a macho guy but really was a soft-hearted man. His mother was his main cheerleader and adored him greatly. He loved her with all his heart and I am glad they are reunited. There will be a small service at the cemetery in the columbarium area on Saturday, December 2, 2017 at 11 a.m. |
