was an unassuming, warm-hearted man; of strict integrity and upright
character, he exacted the same attributes from all his friends. If a
friend to a man, he was a warm one. His charity was large and
unostentatious, and the poor at San Juan will sadly miss his many
benefactions. Whilst a man of few words, yet once interested in any
measure, he made his advocacy or opposition known in no uncertain way. He
