He enjoyed shopping for exotic ingredients and preparing special meals for his family and friends. He took immense pride in his beautiful, lush garden. Every Spring and Summer, he lovingly tended to his garden. He would spend his days planting flats of flowers, pruning, and pulling weeds. Ismael was a quiet and gentle man.
