Armando was an employee of the Milwaukee Port Authority where he worked as a longshoreman. He was a giving, loving, caring soul, No matter the situation, always managed to make you laugh and put a big smile on your face, but at the same time a "Bad Ass" who was always willing to help anyone in trouble. He loved music, was a sports enthusiast; a wrestler at Sheboygan South High School who made it to the state finals, loved to play basketball, football and baseball. He was often playfully teased by family and friends because of his devotion to his favorite NFL team. Mando was born in Texas, raised in Wisconsin yet he was a Chicago Bears fan! Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays during Football season you would find Mando in front of the TV watching Football. His favorite College teams were the Michigan Wolverines and the Texas Long Horns. Mando will truly be missed by family, friends and by all who knew him. May he find peace in Heaven with God and his loved ones who passed before him!
