Saul was a great dude. I remember when he got his first set of turn tables back in the day and he worked diligently to master the art of DJ’N.   He endured a lot growing up but he never faltered.  He will be sorely missed by his friends from back in the day and his most recent and close friends today. 
 May God bless the  Rivera family and all his boys who looked out for him.
