He has twenty grandchildren. He later married Joann Perez. They are now divorced. His siblings are Alma, Sylvia, "Candy", "Rosie", Armando and George. He lived in Santa Ana where he grew up with many aunts, uncles and cousins. He had a high school education and worked in an auto repair shop in Santa Ana where he worked as a welder until around 1977. He moved to the Inland Empire and worked in masonary for most of his life until he retired. He was a natural citizen of this country until his death on February 20, 2011. Our father was a simple but complicated man, and in time, I feel we all got to understand that. He was not a man of many words, mostly abrupt ones, but in his own way, let us know what he was feeling. We know that there were things that he would have liked to have said, but did not know how. We know that there are places that he could have gone to, but chose to stay close to his kids. Our greatest joy is the fact that our father accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior before his death. We know that he is now with his son, Luis, Jr., his mother and his father. It gives us comfort to knnow that he is at peace and that there will be no more pain and suffering. He will at last be at peace. "And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." Colossians 1:20. Funeral Services were held at Weaver Mortuary, 1177 Beaumont Ave, Beaumont, California, Sunday, February 27, 2011, at 2:00 PM. Arrangements were entrusted to Weaver Mortuary, Beaumont, CA.
