It’s always difficult to say goodbye to someone you love. Family and friends must now unfortunately, and with broken hearts say goodbye to Robert and Maria Guzman who passed away at the ages of 88 and 82 this past January 6 and 12 respectively in Glendora, CA.
Robert and Maria were born in Denver, CO and Sinaloa, Mexico to Virginia Gonzalez and Andres Guzman and Ramon Lopez and Aurora De La O’ on April 16, 1932 and December 10, 1938. At the time of their passing they left behind 7 children, 12 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. They will be remembered by those who knew and loved them as caring, loving and supportive people who were always ready to help when needed. In their earlier years you’d hear them described as a fun-loving couple who were always up for a get-together as long as there was good food and good music to go with it. That love of music is deeply instilled in the children and grandchildren they leave behind.
Robert is remembered as a hard-working man who loved spending time with his family when he wasn’t working. He loved to tinker around his garage or work on his car and he always looked for any excuse to go for a drive. He loved driving. Maria’s passion was her children, and when her sister passed away, she became like a second mother to her nieces and nephews. As long as her family was around her she was a very happy mother.
The void Robert and Maria leave is immeasurable. The loss is felt across California, Texas and Mexico by those who loved them.
