Jose (Fernando as I knew him) was a truly nice man. I first met Jose when I was looking for a car repair garage back around 2005-2006. Initially it was one of his colleagues that I started bringing my car to, a younger man, I don't remember his name, who eventually moved back home. Then, one day, it was Jose who came out to greet me and explained that the young man had gone back home and what did I need? From that time forward Jose became someone I not only trusted with my vehicle, but also a friend. Over the years I had many conversations with him about a variety of things, but the subject of family very often came up. He would speak of his children and how proud he was of them, particularly his daughters, who he put through school. He was a good man who loved his family and did everything he could to support them. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him and I will miss him greatly. RIP with the angels my friend.
