Necho lived the American dream. He came to the United States at the age of 17 because he knew this was the land of opportunity. He worked hard and provided a wonderful life for his family. Necho was a great storyteller due to his many years of traveling the world. He was always up for a good time and his gentle way allowed him to become fast friends with many. He always had a story about a place, a guy or his favorite pastime - the Casino. Everybody who crossed his path has a memory, a moment of the time and the laughs they shared with him. He always left a lasting impression. We are so sad that he left us, but he lived an incredible life full of accomplishments and he lived as he wished until his very last day.
The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May 25th, 2021 at 11am at Trinity Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the United States Merchant Marines for the sacrifices they have made for America. ammv.us
