I miss my grandpa so much. He was there by my side when his son, my dad died. He was a pivotal support in my life always. I learned so much from his wisdoms, silly sense of humor and courageous attitude.  Many referred to him as Fresno’s Dr. Dolittle as stray animals found him and were well taken care of. He loved his dogs like his kids. I will always remember him telling me, “My greatest honor was being a soldier in WW2. And I learned that killing is never the answer. Guns aren’t meant to hurt others.”He didn’t even like hunting. He shared he knows he made many mistakes in his life, and he believes you apologize and learn from them. “That makes a noble man.” Yes it does Grandpa and you were one. You will always be my Great Pumpkin. Your legacy lives on through all your grandkids and great grandchildren, I was honored to name one of my boys after you, Tayte Trino. I love and miss you always. 💙

Uncle Trino was one-of-a-kind. Whenever I went to visit family in Fresno I would  stay at his house. He always had room for family members. I remember feeding his cats in the garage and he couldn't believe that they would come to me. After that, we would go and eat breakfast at Denny's. He will be truly missed.

Trino was a very gentle and kind man. He was good to everyone he met. We will miss you.
May God bless you.

Having had the opportunity to be part of several USS Haggard Reunions gave me a new perspective on Men like our beloved Trino.  Above all else they value their Families and have the utmost respect for their country.  Trino was my fathers best friend, having met while serving together during WWII, their friendship endured a lifetime.  If there's a Heaven I'm sure they are together again, reminiscing like teenagers.  RIP Trino...and give my Dad a big hug for me.

We asked Trino which actor should play him if a movie is made about the USS Haggard. He thought for a moment, then replied "It will have to be someone very handsome". I will miss his sense of humor.

Uncle Trino was a wonderful man. He treated my Aunt Vivi (his wife) with love and respect. Whenever we visited him we would talk and he treated us very nice. 
He will be greatly missed.

Trino was a very nice and good man. He was the best brother-in-law that we ever had. Whenever we visited him he would tell us war stories that happened in the Pacific during WWII. I will truly miss him.

Trino Soto,
You treated me like family.
You hold a special place in my heart.
R.I.P. and say hello to Angelo for me.

Trino Soto, A member of the greatest generation, answered the call of his country to defend her during WWII. A proud shipmate of the destroyer, U.S.S Haggard. He fought in the south pacific in 13 major battles and surviving a kamikaze attack off Okinawa in 1945.
I knew him as Uncle Trino, just a tall regular guy, with a deep hearty laugh, a ready smile and joke. 
   Even in civilian life, the love for his country and his shipmates, never left him. They were family, just like his own brothers. 
    Uncle Trino, thank you for your service. We are all grateful
 that you stood tall against all odds. God Bless You. Rest in Peace.
