Pedro known by many as "Chapo" or "Alex" was a concrete mason and took pride in his many projects he completed. He also worked the voting polls during elections for many years. He believed in earning his way, always giving more than he received. He looked forward to his daily rides around town on the city bus in the later years of his life.

He will always be remembered for his love of music, humor, wisdom and unwavering dedication to those he loved. He also used to refer to himself as "Chapo the Greek."
