"My doughnuts are the best in the world," the burly 79-year-old Pacoima native declared.

"They are my mom's recipe. God, she used to make some good doughnuts."

When asked what he thought about National Doughnut Day, he grinned, "Every day is doughnut day."

National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 and is on the first Friday of June every year in recognition of members of the Salvation Army who would give doughnuts to service members during World War I.
