Despite all the trials and tribulations of his time he persevered as dedicated and respected provider. After an honorable service in the United States Army during the Korean War he returned to Sonora to married his beloved bride and moved to San Angelo in 1960, to raise three wonderful daughters. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. His life was dedicated to his family and especially to his grandchildren. He was a man that was always there for anyone that needed his help.
