Angel was truly one of the great ones. He was known for being friendly, generous, and always willing to help others in any way he could. A master mechanic ,private pilot, and true jack of all trades, there was little he could not fix or figure out. Though he was a man of few words, whenever he had the chance he would tell jokes, share stories, and amuse his family with his wisdom, his love of food, and his deep pride in his culture and his beloved island of Puerto Rico.

In his later years, Angel accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, a decision that brought him peace and strengthened his faith.

Those who knew him will forever remember his beautiful smile, his strong work ethic, and the deep love he had for his family. He lived his life with quiet strength and devotion to those he cherished most.

He will be missed beyond words and remembered always in the hearts of those who loved him.
