Roberto worked as a Truck driver for 24 years until his retirement in 2022. His coworkers would call him “Maestro” as he was always guiding and teaching. Roberto loved Texas; where he spent many of his younger years living and farming. Many of his fondest memories were raising chickens and cattle; he always wanted to move back.
