His family moved to the Dallas area when Pop was younger; he spent his life in the area and was familiar with the streets and the ever-changing atmosphere. Pop married Vicenta Chavarria on August 13, 1955 and they were married for a wonderful 42 years. Pop was employed with Glazers warehouse for 36 years and he retired from there. His family describes him as a loving, devoted father and grandfather. Everyone who knew him called him “Pop,” and no matter who crossed the path in his life he never met a stranger. An avid Cowboys fan, Pop was devoted to supporting his team during the good times and the bad times. But most of all his dearest passion was his large family. Pop was preceded in death by his wife Vicenta Herrera; and his son Jose Narciso Herrera. He is survived by his daughter Sylvia Herrera Meza; his two sons Joe Angel Herrera Jr. and Edward Herrera; six grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren.
