Jose Ramon
Leon
March 14, 1920 – May 11, 2010
Jos Ramn Len, of Passaic, beloved husband, father and grandfather, died on May 11, 2010. He was ninety years old. Jos was born in Esperanza, Santa Clara, Cuba in 1920, the youngest of 10 brothers and sisters.
Jos came to the United States from Cuba and settled in Passaic in 1953 to make a new life for himself, his wife Lina and young son Jorge, who Jos brought to the United States in 1955. He sacrificed tremendously to raise his family, often working multiple jobs to give his children opportunities that he did not have. In addition to his big heart, he was a great storyteller, lover of nature and had an incredible green thumb. His black beans are legendary. He will be forever in our hearts.
