As daughter of this talented and noble man, I am proud to be called upon to publish his literary work. My father was a passionate man and as such was a lover of beauty. His love, dedication, and abilities for the arts were unsurpassed. Today see that his family legacy is alive within each one of those he loved as well as in those he never met. Pipo was a kind, loving, considerate, brilliant, and funny man. He was an exemplary son and brother, a good and generous friend, a loving and gentle soul who never forgot that laughter is the best medicine. He dedicated his live to loving everything and everyone. He made the best of things even the bad times. To him every moment was an occasion to be happy, even if inside his heart was coming to pieces. Yet, what I admire most about this unforgettable man is the deep love he had for his wife, our mother. My wish is that as you read his work, come to feel the energy of love that comes through these pages. Moreover, as his passion emerges, you come to understand the powerful energy that has inspired his decedents to continue dreaming, creating, and loving life.
