LEWISTON – Rudolpho A. Flores Sr., 84, passed away on Monday, May 30, 2016 at Central Maine Medical Center. He was born in San Pedro, Mexico, on January 2, 1932, the son of the late Eduardo and Alta Gracia (Acosta) Flores.

He was a devout Catholic, and was attending Mass at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Lewiston. He worked for over 20 years at Quinco Fabrics in Lewiston as a weaver. Rudolpho was an artist at heart, as he loved to draw pictures and also take photographs of his family. His biggest passion in life was spending time with his family.
