WEST TAMPA - The first things you notice are the cowboy hat, the red apron and the hands, which are thick, long and worn from years of hard work.

Rogelio Sierra isn't dainty. At 75, his back is straight, shoulders wide and memory long.

After decades owning a meat market, grocery store and takeout restaurant, Sierra is ready to end his career. His business, La Casa Sierra Meat Market, 1704 N. Howard Ave., is for sale at $2.5 million.

Sierra isn't in a hurry to spend his golden years smelling roses, fishing or watching sunsets. If no one buys his business, he will keep running it as he has since 1980.

"I'm not in a rush," said Sierra, who is fluent in Spanish and English. "If it happens, it happens."

Born in rural eastern Cuba, Sierra was baptized in the business.

His father, a butcher, owned a country store where he sold meats, groceries and clothes. As a child, Sierra remembers his family feeding hogs until they bloated to 600 pounds and then slaughtering them to sell.

When he hit adulthood, his dream was to leave Cuba. He considered Venezuela but ended up in Miami on June 10, 1956, at age 24.

He wanted to make some money and return home to buy a small farm. He planned to raise cows, pigs and chickens to sell at city markets.

After Fidel Castro took power in January 1959, those dreams began to disappear.

Sierra was a deliveryman, butcher and salesman at Stahl's Meat Market in Miami for nine years. Later, he bought the business and owned it until 1980.

While running the Miami market, he bought a 10-acre farm in Brooksville in 1972 and opened a slaughterhouse in Land O' Lakes in 1977.

In his visits to the area, he learned about the West Tampa market, which he purchased in 1980.

"What I enjoy about this is that everyone has to eat and go to a place to buy their merchandise," Sierra said. "That is why I like the business of selling food.

"In this business, you never go hungry."

Angela Minner said her father is passionate about the butcher business: He wants a symbol of a hog, a knife and a steel for sharpening blades on his headstone.

"Work is a hobby and hobby is work," said Minner, of Plant City.

She wants her father to relax and enjoy retirement but doesn't know whether he can.

"If he lets himself, I think he will enjoy it," Minner said.

Store manager Maria Santiago, who has worked there four years, said Sierra won't sit around contemplating life.

"I think he has more energy than I do," she said. "He'll always look for something to do. He is too active and can't keep still."

Once he sells, Sierra wants to spend time on his Brooksville farm raising cows, pigs and chickens and satisfying his love for animals.

"Here, in this country," he said, "whoever sacrifices can triumph."
