Luis García was a compassionate person towards his family and he showed his love to them in his unique way, leaving only good memories. Luis liked to pamper his family and friends with his ‘Discadas’ and Chicharrones he perfected the way he prepared them. Luis was caring and generous with his children, motivating them to earn their own money, during the season of Pecans they worked picking Pecans, rewarding them $1 for every bucket filled. Luis also cared about the well-being of his children and protected them from any person or thing who threaten to harm them. As they recall a time a teacher hit one of his children; he then went to the teacher and threaten to beat him for hurting his child and that teacher never raised a hand to any of his children. Luis wasn’t very affectionate, but he did share his love for his family in his own unique way. Luis had a hard life as a child growing up and had a strong work ethic; he always worked to the bone.
Luis will always be in the heart and memory of his family and friends.
