Ismael was a carpenter and electrician most of his life until his stroke in 1999, but that did not stop him from doing things he loved to do. In his lifetime our father loved fishing, building things, playing guitar, the organ, playing cards, dominos, cooking, watching baseball and wrestling.  He loved working on his cars. He also had many pets (mostly birds) throughout his life.  His favorite baseball team was the New York Yankees.  Papa loved going to the Senior Center in Revere with his wife daily.  But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family.  We could write a book on just how amazing of a man he was.  We love and miss you dearly Papa, R.I.P.
