</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Paco came to this country as a young man and began working at<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"> La Esperanza</span></b> in 1957. This father of four, three daughters and one son, helped make <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">La Esperanza</span></b> what it is today - a true family business. He has always been one of our top sellers and definitely one our most dedicated and faithful employees. After over forty years, Paco retired from the grueling routine of bread delivery and now manages his very successful route. Never one to shirk hard work, he still comes to the bakery nearly every day! One of the first there every day, he helps out where ever he sees a need and is his cousin Peter's right hand man when it comes to fixing the Cuban Sandwich presses that are in need of repair.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

And like all families, there are dynamics to be deciphered and lots of compromises to be had!<br />
<br />
Mama and Papa are the top slice of bread in the generational conglomerate at La Esperanza. Matthew, Jacob, Joshua and Alejandro are the bottom slice - the base that takes all the weight! And the meat in the middle of the sandwich is a mixture of old and new and the meld of two families.... <br />

Born on July 28, 1948, he worked as a Merchant Marine and traveled the world while working as a mechanic on the boats. He came to United States in the early 1970's and soon found his way to our first site in Englewood, New Jersey on S. Dean Street. It was here that he first set his eyes on the "bosses daughter" who was working in the office during Summer vacation.... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Heriberto, also known as El Jefe, Herbie or Papa, is the second generation of bakers in the Santos family. </span>A second generation Cuban, of Northern Spaniard decent., <span class="Apple-style-span">Herbie was born on June 4, 1924, in La Esperanza, Cuba, to Rosa and Nicholas Santos. The oldest of two children, he has a younger brother, Genaro. Heriberto came to the United States, via Ellis Island at the tender age of twelve. He lived in the Bronx with this Aunt and Uncle, Rosa and Jose, and worked in the family bakery. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span">In 1942, at the age of 18, he became a US citizen and joined the Army to fight in the European campaign of World War II. The young soldier saw action in Germany, Poland, France, Austria and Russia and was involved in the Liberation of Auschwitz. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span>Returning to the Bronx at the end of the war, found Heriberto right back were he started - at the family bakery - where he remained until 1949 when he branched out and opened his own business. From Wilkins Avenue in the Bronx, to its present location on West Forest Avenue in Englewood, New Jersey, one thing remains constant about this family bakery - Herbie is on duty everyday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At the age of 87, and still in good health, El Jefe still comes to work daily, rain, sleet or snow. Unless he's traveling to his second bakery, Palmer Bakery in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, where he enjoys not only dabbling in the bread and good food of the Caribbean, but gets to do it on the beautiful island that is so reminiscent of his native Cuba.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>The saying definitely holds true at La Esperanza! On October 6, 1951, Heriberto married Margarita Granja, a Gallega, also from Hunt's Point in the Bronx.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Born on March 8, 1930, in Staten Island, New York, to Genoveva and Enrique Granja from Galicia, Spain, Margarita was the 7th of 8 children. She spent her early childhood in West Virginia and returned to New York as a young girl. She graduated from James Monroe High School in the Bronx and later attended college to pursue a degree in education. At nearly 82, Margarita is still a whirl-wind of energy and high spirit!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Whether called Margarita, Margie, Rita or Mama, this is the woman behind El Jefe and second in command at La Esperanza. Although she worked as a Special Education teacher before retiring in 1989, she always has kept her finger on the pulse of La Esperanza. Together, the couple has built a small family "empire", complete with two daughters, [Elena, 1956 and Gena, 1962], sons in law (Frank and Peter) and four grandsons (Matthew, Joshua and Jacob and Alejandro).
