There is nothing he couldn't do. He was an artist at heart and liked to create objects ranging from tables made out of horseshoes to a sculpture he welded together. He came to this country with almost nothing, yet he managed to become a homeowner and worked his way from a bottom position to a position of leadership. He proved that higher education wasn't needed for his family to become successful in life, although he highly encouraged it and saw it as a good thing. He was very smart even though his education was very limited. That did not stop him from getting the things he wanted in life. His favorite thing to do was spend time with his family whether it was indoors, outdoors or hospitals. It didn't matter as long as he was there for his family.

Raul was a collector of anything from stamps, shot glasses, bottles of liquor, belt buckles, watches and small cars. Raul was a great son, an excellent husband and the best dad. There are a million things we can tell you about Raul but the main thing you should know is he loved his family and his family loved him till the very end, he was always there when they needed him the most. That's just the type of person he was.
