A simple man, but who left a legacy in my life. A legacy that I will pass on to my children. My father, a hard-working man, full of dreams, plans, a man who once had a hard heart, but whose relaxed hugs from home, sons, daughters and grandchildren softened it. God-fearing man, full of faith and hope. My father will be greatly missed," he said. José Maria had six children, four men and two women.
