JC proudly served his country in WWII and the Korean War. Following retirement from the U.S. Air Force at the rank of Master Sergeant, he worked for 26 years as an electrician for the State of California.
Known as Pops by many, he loved, in addition to family, his devoted dog and "Little Buddy", Howie, who preceded him in death on February 10, 2014. Pops and Howie were known as fine connoisseurs of B-B-Q'd Rib-eye and T-bone steaks and together enjoyed many hours of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies. JC also found great enjoyment in sharing the bounty of his vegetable gardens and orange tree with his neighbors and friends and tending his roses.
#1 Pop will be dearly loved and missed forever.
