They later had two children, Louis Armando López and Lynne Anissa López.
Luis López was a State Correction Officer at Sing Sing Correctional Facility for twenty years. After retiring from being a Correction Officer, Luis was able to do the job he loved most--being a grandfather. Luis López was a proud grandfather to five grandchildren, Mariah Ariel Martínez, Louis Armando López, Alanis Lynne López, Gregory Luis Martínez, and Lucas Armando López.
Luis enjoyed swimming, building, wordsearches, making jokes, and playing dominoes, but most importantly, he loved being with his grandchildren. He was lovingly known as "Papi" by his children and grandchildren.
