Madaleno was my favorite uncle. We knew him as Tio Quiro or as Uncle Len. He was caring & soft-spoken.I remember him being generous and kind. He had a great smile & a bear hug. He worked on the dairy farm and always smelled of aftershave & leather.
Len was a confirmed bachelor & stayed home to care for his parents after his military service was complete. I remember he told me he had served in Germany after the WW II. He didn't have much to say about his stint there other than he was lucky to have been too young to serve during the war.
He and by grandfather, Juan lived together after my grandmother's death in 1958. Juan cooked & kept house while Len worked at the dairy farm.
I don't think Len ever finished high school but he was intelligent and educated enough for the time in rural south Texas were he was born and lived his whole life.
He attended school in Floresville, Texas and he and Juan both enjoyed hunting. I learned to eat roasted rabbit & venison sausage in their kitchen. Juan made the best home made flour tortillas I ever tasted! They always had home cooked meals & fresh salsa that was referred to as "chile" since we spoke a traditional form of Old Spanish at the time that is not exactly the Spanish that is taught in schools.
I love Len for his devotion to us and his sincerity. He was not my father, but he was the best father figure I had.He never had children of his own, but he was the best uncle any of his nieces or nephews could have wanted. And he loved us all. He was my favorite, but he never had favorites. It was obvious that he cared for all of us.
Len was a family peacemaker. When I noticed others having disagreements, he never took sides. Once when I was involved in a quarrel, he worked behind the scenes to arrange a reconciliation. He never accused me of being wrong. He only asked me to forgive the other party as a favor to him. Who could say "no" to that request?
Len is a lovely soul and I miss him.
