Humberto will be remembered as a very loving, caring, and humble husband, father, and “Pempa” to all his grandchildren. He loved gardening, fishing and was always ready for a game of cards.

Humberto always enjoyed helping others with any situation they had regardless of his experience with different topics.

Humberto será recordado como un esposo, padre y “Pempa” para sus nietos como un hombre amoroso, cariñoso y humilde. Le encantaba la jardinería, la pesca y siempre estaba listo para un juegito de conquián. Por encima de todo, le encantaba pasar tiempo con su familia. Tenía un gran corazón y apreciaba a cada miembro de la familia y amigos sin importar la distancia o el tiempo que pasaran separados. A Humberto siempre le gustó ayudar a los demás con cualquier situación que tuvieran, independientemente de su experiencia con diferentes temas. Siempre fue un hombre fuerte que estaba decidido a encontrar una solución a todos los problemas, grandes o pequeños. Su fuerza fue probada varias veces mientras luchó contra el cáncer durante los últimos nueve años de su vida hasta su último aliento. Su familia y los más cercanos a él siempre recordarán al increíble luchador que fue.
