Javier was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a jack-of-all-trades, but his real passion was making boots and blown glass figures. Javier loved listening to Spanish music in his boot shop every day. He was known for his big smile and his nickname was “El Rico” since giving a helping hand was never an issue for him. Javier lived life to the fullest.
