He was born number 6 out of 7 siblings: Ricardo (deceased), Catherine (deceased), Aurora, Pedro, Maria, and Jorge (deceased). Roberto went to nursing school to become an LPN; he was wonderful with all of his nursing home patients for 20 years. At night, he worked as a private nurse for the elderly that needed him. He became an art collector of paintings, Lladros, silver, marble, and bronze statues, etc. He came to the USA to Norman, Oklahoma in 1965 at the age of 13 to help his sister Catherine with her 3 small children: Bryan (3 yrs), Tania (2 yrs), and Danny (1 yr).
