I’m so glad that I have you in my life bro. I’m very sad I couldn’t meet your wonderful father but Abdul has told me lots of great thing about your father. I know it’s hard but know that he’s in a great place and stay strong. We love you and you’re beautiful sister and wonderful mother.
Mi más sentido pésame. No hay palabras para expresarlo.?
I had the privilege of singing with Carlos at Pappasitos and other restaurants. Always a Professional gentleman with high standards, I’m not sure if people knew the many Instruments he played. I saw him play Keyboards ? & Trumpet ? & Guitar ?at Pappasitos with mastery.
He had a sincere and genuine sense of appreciation for all people & his audiences always respected him for it. Many musicians can play music, but Carlos also knew how to >Entertain, so the people had a good time.
A good person is gone & a good musician. (I only just now heard about his passing. He will be so very missed. Such sad news.)
