Cuco was well known to almost all, as he was a carpenter, handyman, cabinet builder, repairman, and even remodeled homes. He could fix or build anything. Many homes in Yuma have been touched by his works. he never said 'no' to anyone; he would gladly help anyone. In his leisure time, he enjoyed dancing, camping, traveling and sports. He could always be seen watching 'OZ', a softball team coached by his son, Steven. The team recently took first place in the Memorial Day Tournament, which was dedicated to Cuco by the team. His presence was an inspiration to all those in attendance.
His smile will be greatly missed by all those who were privileged to have worked with him, been helped by him, and those related to him.
