Coming to the United States from Cuba in 1961, he went to work for Babcock and Wilcox in St. Petersburg in 1962, became a group leader and retired after 38 years of service. Adolfo was a loving and devoted husband and father, as well as a great friend to many.

He will be long remembered for his intelligence, wit, patience and generosity of spirit even when he battled serious health issues throughout much of his adult life.
