Our family vacation John A. Puente, Edward Garza, my dad, my dad, my mom Julia R.I.P., Monica L. Green, Toni Janet Garza, Jerri Garcia, Amie Sendijas, John F. Puente Jr., Stanley Puente, and Julia Annette Chavarria.

My memories of my dad as a child he had always spent time with me reading the news paper to me. Their was many times all the little ones were all on the bed with my dad reading the funnies (Peanuts) to us, making the funny sounds and faces. My personal moments we would talk about his day at work, and if he brought me something, it would be a quarter or a dollar. He had asked me what I did and simply stated, I played.  It is true may dad was a hard working man, but he loved all of us including his step children Toni Jeanette Garza, Monica Lynn Green, and Edward Garza. When it came to family trips and outing we had always had a blast trips to Monterey Mexico to see bull fights and the pyramids. Our trips to six flags in a small car we made it happen. As we all got older it became phone calls and small gatherings. My last phone call was about how we both were doing and we both stated our love you and everything will be alright.   

My grandpa was an intelligent, hard working family man. He was always willing to help anyone with anything. He always had a plan.....no matter what. He always encouraged me to learn more about my interest in life. My grandpa was very supportive and always offered words of encouragement to all of his grandchildren. I already miss you so much and can’t believe that you are not physically here anymore but I know that you’re here in spirit and in our hearts.....forever. May you rest easy Grandpa and hold a spot for each and everyone of us in paradise.
Love Always,
Your Meli ❤️

My memory of my grandpa is as far as I can remember he was always so innovative. Coming up with ways to make money for his family. From running a  record store to owning a restaurant. He was one heck of a salesman. He did multiple jobs at once. He taught me how to drive. Took me to get my drivers license on my 18th birthday. I pray that the memories that I have of grandpa stay with me forever. 

Seeing my grandpa at his office and bugging  him there I loved seeing my grandpa  there and I also remember  his corner store  and restraint and hanging  out around  him . I wish he could  have  lived longer so he could  have made it to my 30th birthday  it lands on may 6th next month......🤩💪♥️🎈🎁🎈love always John Francisco  Puente's granddaughter  Vanessa  monique  sendejas  😘😍

He was a really close friend to the family. I enjoyed him being part of the family honestly I can't believe he is gone he was such a great and hard working man. He supported his wife and family he will be missed.

I met John when we went to Thomas Edison Elementary, probably in 1950 or 1951. He was always a very respectable guy.  We went to Crozier Tech also, he graduated a year before me.
So very sorry for his loss. My prayers are with all the family, May the Lord give you peace and comfort in Jesus name. 


My memory with my grandpa came about 4 years ago when I was going through my divorce. Grandpa help me with my divorce with understanding the lay out on things. He was always calling to check on me and kept me positive about the outcome. Love you grandpa you were always a working man. You were reliable but loving in your own way. Which is why I always loved spending the night and hanging out with Ivan. Me and Ivan were like brothers, you couldn’t separate us. Plenty of of memories at the house on church street playing upstairs and always playing at the tree by the little building to the left. Love you grandpa rest easy and watch over us while we continue our adventure through life.
