In 1985, Armando embarked on the journey of marriage with his first wife, Carmen, with whom he shared the joys and challenges of life.

His guidance was a source of strength, and the bond forged with his sons was unbreakable. Tragically, Carmen passed away.

Later in life, Armando found love once again and married Juanita Medina. Together, they built a life rooted in love, trust, and God. As a husband, Armando demonstrated the true meaning of a Christian marriage, where love was patient, kind, and unconditional. Their bond was a testament to the enduring power of true love, and Juanita was his constant companion and source of strength.
