Gumersindo Vidot Jr, Married for 25 years to a beautiful, and wonderful women Martha Vidot who Is my friend, advisor, and the mother of my three loving children. I am also blessed with two grandchildren from heaven I was Born June 24, 1952 in Bayamon Puerto Rico to Gumersindo Vidot SR and Carmen Marrero Vidot. In 1953 my parents migrated to the mainland with intentions of a better life. And ended up where most Puerto Rican end up at. Spanish Harlem. At the age of seven I began to shine peoples shoes in the corner of 103rd street were I made some chump change, now, but $5.00 a day at that time for a seven year old was mucho. After becoming a victim of a knife point robbery and feared it would happen again I joined the Junior Dragons and became the youngest warlord of the Junior Dragons. Street fighting was popular, and I became very good at it . Fighting only bigger kids, and gaining an impressive record, and reputation. My parents were concerned about me and moved to the South Bronx for a better life. But that move was like jumping out of the frying pan, and into the oven. The only difference was that the gangs had different names, and the apartments were bigger. After I settled in my new hood I realized that drugs, sex violence, racism, corrupt cops were here to stay and that this was going to be my life unless I made a difference.
To young for the army, but not to fight, I decided to join PAL and other boxing clubs. In one of the clubs. Apollo Boxing Club I had the opportunity to get a boxing lesson from Alex Ramos who left an impression on me so deep that I knew our lives will cross again. Although My passion for being a fighter was not as great as the passion to be a cop I continue with boxing, it was a way out of the Ghetto life or at least a distraction from it.
I was not like my boys, although I was know for being tough and smart, I didn't enjoy the life that the ghetto had planned for me, I had big dreams, strong will but little tools to make things happen. I always was taught that when things get really bad, count on God… I did, and my Lord responded by placing good people in my life that were full of compassion, patience, and love. and the only thing God ask in return was for me to do the same for others. I have a mission from God and I have promise my lord that I will do the best I can To follow his direction.
