He worked as a Supply Clerk and then was promoted to a Heavy Equipment Operator and Truck Driver at the US Naval Air Base at Guantanamo Bay Cuba before leaving Cuba and taking his family to the United States in 1978. In the US Carlos continued to work as an 18-wheeler Truck Driver for United Van Lines for many years. Due to the physical nature of the job he moved on to work at McDonalds and retired from McDonalds as a Manager. Carlos enjoyed anything connected to Cuba; music, boxing, baseball and especially food. Carlos was an incredible cook and filled many empty stomachs with his Cuban dishes. Carlos had a passion and a love for women that was evident up until the day he passed.
