He enjoyed all sports although his preferred sport was golf. He loved playing solitaire, poker, and dominoes. He enjoyed reading history novels and listening to jazz music which was his favorite music genre. Although Armando spent a lot of time with his family, he also made sure to cater to the family dog, Alvin, whom he took on drives and long walks. He touched so many lives with his generosity. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
