Teodoro was born on February 17, 1938 in San Antonio, Texas o the late Juan B. Salinas and Juanita (Garcia) Salinas. He attended school in San Antonio and stopped his formal education at an early age to begin working. He served his country both faithfully and honorably in the Army National Guard. Teodoro was a hard worker and loyal employee. He worked many years for H&H Chaney, A.C.U and lastly the Abilene Country Club. He was detailed at whatever he did especially shining shoes. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life such as watching his westerns, sitting on the porch with his beloved dog, Lala, and dancing. He especially enjoyed time spent with his family. Simply put Teodoro was a good man and will be missed.
