Garcia family from Cuba with ties to Spain

I'm searching for information on Louis Garcia, born in 1882, his wife Luisa, born in 1888 and any of their children. They immigrated from Cuba but I'm not sure which city they were from. They had several children including Roland, Rene, my great grandfather Delio, born in 1915, and 2 daughters, one they called Bebe. From what I understand, Luisa moved the family from Tampa, FL to Philadelphia, Pa and was divorced from Louis. She raised the children by herself in Philadelphia and the family I'm aware of has most of it's ties there. Roland and Delio both served in the military. I believe Roland served in the Army and is buried in Broomall, Pa. He is listed under veteran's gravesites. Delio served in the Marine Corp. during WWII and was injured in Guadalcanal during his service in North China. He owned a small print shop in Philadelphia later on in his life. His first wife was Laura Pomroy and I believe his other brother Rene may have been married to a woman named Jennie. I'm begging for any information anyone may have. I've been searching for years now and can't find much of anything. I'd be eternally grateful for any help.

I found that Louis's parents were Jose & Idolina Garcia. Louis's wife's maiden name was Louisa Parra. They immigrated from Cuba, lived in Tampa FL for many years and moved to Philadelphia just before 1920. I belive Jose traveled overseas a lot from Cuba possibly back to Spain.
