Gonzalo was a gifted and talented Carpenter, he could fix anything, a gifted problem solver. An observant house doctor. He could build anything. All anyone had to do was call him and he would be there for you. If he didn’t know how to fix it he would figure it out. The man could walk into a house, and see things others couldn’t, diagnose a problem and fix it. He was always there for everyone. His joy and happiness were about helping family and friends. He loved to tell stories to everyone, his imagination and heart were full of stories. His wonderful stories will forever live with everyone he came in contact with. His stories will continue to inspire us for the rest of our lives.
