My name is Alma Rodriguez. The Rodriguez family has experienced a tremendous loss. We lost a person who wore many hats but his proudest one was being a Father to his 6 sons, a Grandfather to his 18 beloved grandchildren 13 boys and 5 girls, 2 great-granddaughters, 6 daughter in laws who he loved very much. "Pipo" as we liked to call him was always made sure everyone around him was taken care of. He put other before he would put himself. As they said, he wore his heart on his sleeve.

One thing he was always proud of was the fact that he was a painter. And that he could paint 25 cars in one day. He could tell stories for hours. And always had one liners that would have the whole room in laughter. Pipo made friends everywere he went, he was well known. He is going to missed very much. One thing I know for sure is that he planted a seed in each and everyone of us all.
