Carlos had several interests but his most passionate was bowling. He was a dedicated bowler early in life winning several trophies and later in life he achieved several 300 games in addition to winning several medals at the local Senior Olympic Games.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Doctor Jason Davis and his team that cared for him prior to his transition to Hospice care; and Assured Home Hospice for the wonderful care that Carlos received.
