This is one of my favorite photos of Roberto. Even though he’s in the hospital and not home where he belongs, he’s got a big smile on his face and looks healthy. This was Valentine’s Day, 2007.

This was a special time since not only was it Roberto’s 61st birthday, but our friend Ivan was visiting us all the way from Belgrade, Serbia. He’s the one who shot the video, in fact.

Roberto’s sister found some old photos and shared this one with us. This is a photo of Roberto in the mid-1970s. Silly hat! Also in the photo is long-time friend Baldemar Campos (center) and brother Manuel Herrera (right).

This is one of my favorite old photos of Roberto. The caption should read, “We’ve come for your daughter!”

Here’s another photo of Robo in the doctor’s office waiting room. I always thought he looked so good in black. And I’ve always loved his dimples.

I snapped this at the doctor’s office waiting room last year. We loved our outings to “Dr. J”‘s office because afterward we would treat ourselves to lunch at either Prince’s Hamburgers or Taqueria 100%.
