He enjoyed cooking and having cookouts with all his friends and family. He also loved music and even though he was not the most talented guitar and pianist, he at least tried his best to play a good tune. Raul also enjoyed fishing and drawing on his free time. But what he loved most was his 2 daughters and always had a good joke for them "I'M THE KING ACROSS THE TRACKS". Raul will forever be missed by many who loved and cared for him.
