Mr. Irizarry Troche was born in the town of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico on 14 February 1915. As a child, Mr. Irizarry Troche wanted to become a doctor or lawyer, but his father pulled him out of school to become a sugarcane cutter. As an adult, he did jobs such as providing home services as a barber, and working as a cook in a hotel. Mr. Irizarry Troche is also described as a talented musician, but commented that today's modern music is vulgar, and he prefers music from when he was a young man.

He was also said to drink 2 thermoses of coffee a day, and enjoyed relaxing in his hammock.
