Tonio as I remember him...
Hey Robert...I'll miss that...Hey Girl, he would say to Niki and Eri...Tonio always had a way with making everyone feel at home, no matter who's home it was.
He was my abuelita's favorite!
My Mom will miss his mustard yellow Volkswagon driving down the street, keeping an eye out for her. He went to Germany to serve our country and partied the entire time he was there, so much for service.
I still see him in his Black Cadillac with the big fins, even when I see that mustard yellow VW pull over to the sidewalk..I imagine the Black Cadillac...
