With our deepest sympathy. Seferino was a good and kind man. He will be deeply missed.
Going to miss my uncle so much. I always told him he was my favorite uncle and favorite mailman. He was always so kind and gentle and was the first to offer to help if something needed to be done. So many fond memories growing up with this wonderful man. We were so blessed he was a part of our lives. He will be forever loved and missed. Mom will miss her only brother so much. RIP uncle. Fly with the Angel’s.
