Gonzalo was loved by all who knew him. He was a workaholic, who loved helping his community. He was a kind a generous man, giving everything he had to those who might need it. He was always stylish in his own way, not caring about the trends of the time. Gonzalo was a man who chose to be as respectable as he dressed and was often opinionated about being a gentleman. He was given the nickname "Caballero" by his friends for his carefree attitude and strong adherence to his gentleman's code. He was a delight to all who knew him and he will be sorely missed.
