I met Tavio at Peregrine in October 2020, and have many fond memories of his mischievous antics there. I was surprised to be passing lunch trays at my new job when I saw his name and immediately ran in to say hello. He was peaceful but unable to speak, and I was so thankful to be able to spend the last 40 minutes of my shift keeping him company and letting him know he was with a friend. (I laughed and told him, after months of harassing me, I finally was sharing a bed with him!) He always made me laugh and I will never forget the twinkle in his eye.
I have a alot of great many memories of Uncle Tavio. What stands out the most is swapping jokes with him. I just wish I could have seen him one more time before I moved to Texas. I can't even make his funeral mainly do to my travel restrictions after my surgeries. Out of all my uncles, he is the one I'm going to miss the most. God Bless you on your journey to join Mom, Aunt Dorothy and Stephen.
