They had six children: Rafael Fierro Jr., wife Maritza; Lilly Andujo, husband Hector; Lorena Gil, husband Alejandro; Laura Granado, husband Eloy; Fernando Hall, wife Nelva; Angel Fierro, wife Shannon; and 16 grandchildren (Alex Fierro, Jennifer Fierro, Angelica Fierro, Christian Fierro, Stefany Andujo, Samantha Andujo, Sofia Andujo, Anthony Tamez and his wife Katy, Michael Tamez and his wife Audrey, Andrew Granado, Matthew Granado, Joshua Hall, Gabby Hall, Joaquin Fierro, Gael Fierro, and Ramon Fierro. Popos will be remembered as a dedicated, hard worker, and passionate father and grandfather who adored his grandchildren. He was a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews and a cherished friend to many. Most of all, he was in love for 57 years and created an amazing life with his true love, Celia.
