Gregorio “Greg” Moreno, age 85, passed away on Saturday, June 18, 2022, in Visalia, California. Greg was born in Midland, Texas, on May 17, 1937, to the late Gregorio and Maria Candida Facundo Moreno. He was raised by his grandparents and served in the US Navy. He married Maria Teresa Leyva of El Paso, Texas on December 9, 1961. In 1965 they moved their family to Visalia where they raised their five children. Greg was a Letter Carrier for the US Postal Service and retired in 1994. He was affectionately known as “Sunshine” to many of his customers. He taught his kids the importance of caring for the community, especially those that were homebound or didn’t have family nearby. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas he and his wife would prepare and take holiday meals to his elderly customers. He was a huge fan of Tejano (Tex-Mex) music and enjoyed trips to Laughlin and San Francisco to watch his favorite baseball team, the San Francisco Giants.

He is survived by his children, Carlos Leyva Moreno, MD, Barbara Owens, Melissa Moreno, Greg Moreno, and his seven grandchildren, Gregory Moreno, Miguel Moreno, Ben, Nate, and Alesia Castaniero, Isabella and Evan Moreno and two great-grandchildren, Gabriel Moreno and Noah Castaniero.
