My late brother Luis and I had a ten-year age gap, so I have very few memories of us together before I reached my early teens. Despite his health challenges, he lived a full and meaningful life centered on his two daughters and his grandchildren.There are two funny stories involving Luis, our brother Pako, and me.The first happened when I was about fourteen years old. Luis invited me to play tennis with him. To put it kindly, I was terrible at it. After watching me repeatedly mishit the ball, he finally grew tired of it and gracefully called an end to the game.The second story took place during a mini in-state vacation in Florida. Pako joined Luis, Rafaela, my wife, and me, and we had an amazing time together. Rafaela and my wife especially enjoyed watching the three of us argue. Luis would pick on Pako, and Pako, in turn, would pick on me. It became a chain reaction that provided plenty of laughs.Luis was also an amazing uncle to my oldest son and his wife during the years they lived in Tampa. His love, generosity, and presence meant a great deal to them.Like my beloved niece Frances wrote, Luis has picked up his wings. He earned them through his faith, his devotion, and his unwavering love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
