Carlos, given the nickname “Cuco” by all those who loved him, graduated from the Universidad de Puerto Rico, and went on to become a successful Attorney who served his communities of Puerto Rico for over 30 years. However, his greatest success was being a man of family, especially to his three daughters and grandchildren. He dedicated his life to simply being there for those he loved and creating memories that will last a lifetime. There are not enough words that can accurately describe the magnitude of his heart and the legacy of his life. His smile and presence will be missed tremendously by all those who love him.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Haven Hospice www.beyourhaven.org. Their generous care will be forever remembered by our family.
Cuco, our angel. We love you from here to the sun and back and everyday a little bit more.
