He touched the hearts of everyone who has the privilege of knowing him and leaves behind a legacy that will continue through the generations he helped guide and inspire.
Welo “Moncho” enjoyed listening to music, playing dominoes, going to the Casino, watching local sport teams and visiting his homeland Puerto Rico
He lived a long and beautiful life, and his joyful spirit will remain forever in our hearts.
He is survived by his son, John Ray Gonzalez, and his daughter, Damary Gonzalez.
He is also survived by his grandchildren, Jasmine, Orlando “Landi”, Eric, Christina “Chrissy”, Victoria and Reina, whose loving care supported him for many years—thank you for your devoted hearts.

While he may no longer walk beside us, his spirit will remain with us always.
In his famous words: “God Bless You.”
