Rufino always made our Christmas the most magical time of our lives. Somehow Christmas times after his passing, has never been the same no matter how hard I tried to match it. Thanksgiving and Easter were also a memorable time with him

My tata served in the Navy at a very young age. His goal was to become a U.S. citizen to which he finally succeeded. When I was a toddler he would spoil me with Navy collared designed dresses and of course loads of hugs & kisses. As I grew older he was always there as a father capacity and found the time to listen to me, feed me fresh chop suey & laugh at my corney daily events. I proudly take his ways of wanting to please others in sharing delicious food preparations; no special reason,no holiday, just for the joy of giving and receiving smiles
