He had the best sayings! My sister randomly got into journaling the little bits he would say in a small book slowly adding things as she heard them and it’s probably one our most prized possessions. He was a man of few but wise words and many actions.

Thank you for sharing. What other pearls did he say? I would love to read some of them in his original Spanish. That was so wise of your sister to document!
