After several moves in California he built his home in Santa Paula, CA, where he lived with his late wife of 38 years, Eva Gaxiola Alamillo. Chato is survived by his six children; Frances, Denise (Mario), Ernie, Tony (Josie), Ronnie (Julie) and Rosaleo (Nancy), 20 Grandkids, 29 Great-Grandkids and 1 Great-Great Grandbaby; Siblings Lupe, Rosaleo and Angel. Chato joins his parents in Eternal Rest, Rosaleo and Francesca along with his siblings; Leo, Jose, Lorenzo, Manuel, Tony, Sebastian, Natalia, Rosa and Trini.

He was a 60 year member of the Operative Plasters Cement Masons Local 600. He enjoyed fishing, watching western movies, working in his yard, feeding his birds and spending time with family. Chato had a great heart and cared deeply for all his family, he was a devoted husband, an excellent father and a very special grandfather. He always made sure to be there for all of us! We will miss him so much, his smile, those beautiful green eyes and his laugh followed by “ah what a lie”.

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to extend a huge Thank You to the nursing staff at Santa Paula Hospital for their attentive care and compassion to our beloved Father/ Grandfather Chato Alamillo. .
