Alfonso era un hombre de familia cariñoso y devoto conocido como Papi Poncho. A través de su arduo trabajo y dedicación hizo posible el sueño americano para su familia.

Le gustaba escuchar música y tocar instrumentos musicales. Le gustaba usar sus lentes RayBan ¡nunca lo verías sin ellos! Era un conocido bromista y mago aficionado que mantenía entretenida a su familia. También le encantaba jugar a las cartas con familiares y amigos.
