Avelino was a warm, intelligent, and generous person who cared very deeply about his wife, children, grandchildren, siblings and extended family.

He will be forever remembered for his consideration of others, his gentle smile, and his hearty laugh.
In his spare time, he loved watching sports, especially boxing and tennis, reading engineering and science magazines, listening to Elvis and Frank Sinatra, and enjoying his daily glass of Merlot. He will be forever remembered for his consideration of others, his gentle smile, and his hearty laugh.
His favorite verse to turn to during difficult times was Psalms 91:
“‘Because he loves me,’ says the LORD, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.’”
He was very devoted to God and put all his faith and trust in Him.
