He also enjoyed bowling and was part of a bowling league. He enjoyed the outdoors, including: fishing, boating and water skiing. He cared about animals and personally fed the birds, stray cats and squirrels around his house. He fed them strait from his hand. He was a great mechanic and loved working on cars. He especially treasured his 65 Red Thunderbird. He was so proud of that car. Music was his friend and he was a great dancer. When the music played he swept the floor like no other. In the last few years, he enjoyed going to Hardee's for breakfast every Thursday morning and watching Dancing With the Stars in the evenings. For everything he did, he had a cold bud light to accompany his activity. If you were fortunate to know Trino, you will remember that he was always willing to help you, whether family, friend, neighbor or enemy. When you'd visit him he was always ready to treat you to a hot meal and his famous homemade tortillas. He was ready to teach whoever was willing to learn. If you ever saw him in town, you'd likely see him in his leather coat with tools hanging from it and a bandana around his forehead and he always greeted you with his perfect beautiful smile. His phone calls often ended with "I love you, take care. I love you." He was resilient and gave credit to God for watching over him.
