Written by Máre: Eligio looked like me. He brought me to the U.S. in 1947. We understood each other, very well. GOD forgive his weaknesses, Bless Him & keep him resting peacefully.

From neice Gladys (Máre's oldest daughter): RIP Tio Eligio, may you find peace reunited w Grandma, Grandpa, Tio Nolo & Tio Chano.
May the Lord be with you Always!

I came to know Eligio in his later years. I found him to be an interesting individual. Ben & I would visit him & Hilda on our frequent trips to Florida. They always made us feel welcomed. He spoke of God & family. Showed us his paintings, of which there were many. He was easy to love, & found a place in our hearts. Ben is so happy they had a chance to celebrate their birthdays together.

I will always remember how happy he was whenever we would visit. Whether I was a child or a grown woman with my own children, the first thing he always said was, "The pool is waiting for you." I also remember lying on the floor and viewing his slideshows of Germany and his loved ones. RIP Uncle Eligio.

As the youngest of Marina's daughters, I will forever remember the Peace & Happiness my mother carried upon her return from visiting Tio Eligio. I was always so proud to hear & speak of his creative artistic abilities & will treasure painting images of past photos taken, forever. I too will treasure my Sony Sailors hat!

Uncle Eligio, I remember your visits to New York City, especially when you took us to Coney Island and bought us all candy and a sailors hat with our names. I remember your hugs. I will forever have you in my heart. Love always your niece.
