On Friday September 11, 2015, our dad passed away peacefully at home. "J.C." as he affectionately referred to Jesus Christ, came and took him by the hand and led him home to be with his son Richard, and mother Matilda, whom he spoke of often and missed greatly.
He was a veteran of the Korean Conflict and was a Masonry worker for over 30 years. We will miss his many stories but he will live forever in our hearts.
He will be missed by his surviving children, Robert, daughter-in-law Betty, Ralph and wife Linda, Manuel, Raymond and wife Desiree, Rebecca and husband Charles, John and wife Vicky, and youngest daughter Rose; 25 grandchildren; and 34 great grandchildren.
A Recitation of the Holy Rosary will be held at Saint Mary's Catholic Church on Thursday, September 17, 2015, at 7:00 p.m.
A Mass will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church on Friday, September 18, 2015, at 12:30 p.m., with burial to follow at Fresno Memorial Gardens.
Services are under the direction of Tinkler Funeral Chapel & Crematory, 475 N Broadway Fresno, CA 93701, 559-233-2101.
