He was known as "that friendly neighbor" and frequently helped others with their cars or other small projects. He adored his grandchildren and was given the duty of school chauffeur with school drop-offs and pick-ups. Though he lived a simple life, Juan valued above all good character. He stood to be a father figure in many people lives. Juan was a good husband, loving dad and proud papa his family will miss him dearly.
