He met his bride, Ruth Marie Helgeson, a true wartime "Rosie the Riveter," in Wilmington, DE, where they married in February 1945. They were in their 50th year of marriage when she passed away in 1994.

He owned and operated Trinidad Flores Concrete Construction Company for almost 60 years, retiring at the age of 90. Trini was a founding member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church where he was involved in numerous ministries and organizations.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth; sons, John Paul and James; and granddaughter, Brooke Gonzalez.
