Luciano was born in Naguabo Puerto Rico, however, lived in Brooklyn New York with his family then moved to Staten Island in his later years. He was a hard working man who did everything he could to be the best father figure, provider and husband. Never missed a beat!! He was funny, happy go lucky, a great dancer and lover of music. Loved to hang out with his friends and family playing dominos. Whether it was outside on the sidewalks of Red Hook Brooklyn or inside the apartment on Bush Street. If he wasn't playing dominos he was always under his car fixing it. He was a self trained mechanic as well. We all remember as if it was yesterday. Never a dull moment when he was around. We would take weekend trips to Coney Island and the beaches with friends and extended family. Packed a bunch of food and off we went on the weekends. Luciano Figueroa was an honorable man with a heart larger than life. We will always honor him and cherish the time we had with him. We are in debt to him for all the great memories that he created for us. Fun times and struggle times as well. But we were a family who stuck together. Loved forever. Miss you forever!! You will never be forgotten. Sleep with the angels, rest peacefully and don't let mom beat you in dominos. Remember, she cheats. LOL RIP Mommy and Daddy. May God be with you and bless you always.
