"A treasure for me, a picture of my grandfather signing the marriage certificate of my parents, his smile shows his great happiness, he loved my dad very much. It will be one of the few photographs you will see of my grandfather dressed in a suit. He always preferred his jeans, shirt and tennis," later he wrote.
Un tesoro para mi, una fotografía de mi abuelo firmando el acta de matrimonio de mis padres, su sonrisa demuestra su gran felicidad, quería mucho a mi papá. Será de las pocas fotografías que verán de mi abuelo vestido de traje, siempre prefería sus jeans, camiseta y tenis. ?✌? pic.twitter.com/NAELfOqGOZ

In an interview with
Teleshow, Miguel spoke about the documentary he made about the life of the beloved the father of La
Chilindrina and mortal enemy of
Doña Florinda in "
El Chavo del Ocho." "The main idea was to make a book, my uncle Esteban Valdés wanted to write about my grandfather's life from his point of view and this text would have a DVD with the interviews of my grandfather's three dearest companions: Edgar Vivar, María Antonieta de las Nieves and Carlos Villagrán," he said adding that the material was so great that the family took a step further and upload it to YouTube. "Doing
this work I learned many things
that I
had no idea and I never imagined. Thousands! I learned little by little and the public too. For example, I
had no idea that he was so paternal and affectionate, a facet of my grandfather that I would have liked to live and that thanks to what they tell me, today I can know."
