    Just a heartfelt note from all of my family to express our sorrow when we heard of Carlos passing. We always enjoyed his company while our families’children participated in sports together. I especially recall fondly Carlos enjoying a good sweat from eating my hot wings at our house after a road game. May God Bless… Doc
