Tomas Torres

He was born in León, Guanajuato (Mexico) in 1936 to Elpidio and Concepción Torres. Tomas arrived in the United States at the age of 18. Since then he continuously worked to help support his parents and siblings before meeting the love of his life and beloved spouse, Maria Raquel, of almost 50 years. Tomas was a loving son, brother, husband, father and grandfather whose generosity, love of ‘Musica Ranchera’ and his fondness for the “occasional sip” of beer will always be remembered.

Tomas was preceded in death by his brother, Rosendo, and is survived by his wife Maria Raquel, his son Ricardo, his daughter-in-law Alejandra, his grandchildren Caesar and Sofia, and his siblings Rosa, Ascención, Elvira, Elpidio, Alfredo and Trinidad.

A memorial service will be held March 14th between 4PM - 8PM at Casita Don Rafa at 6240 S. Archer Rd., Summit, IL 60501. Dress is casual (no black attire necessary). Appetizers, refreshments and Mexican pastries will be available. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name to the Pilsen Food Pantry are appreciated.
