Auro, 79, passed away at his home in San Jose, CA, surrounded by family on March 14, 2013. He was originally from Potosi, Bolivia. One of his great loves was engineering: he was the lead engineer in the first highway in La Paz, Bolivia. Auro graduated from the Universidad Tomás Frías (Potosi, Bolivia) and the University of Ohio. He worked for Caltrans into his 70’s where he made some lifelong friends and enjoyed every minute of it!
Auro had a wonderful sense of humor and great love for life. He was well read and well traveled; he spoke several languages and was a master chess player; a teacher and philosopher, a devoted soccer fan and avid reader. But above all, Auro was a loving father, brother, grandfather and husband.
Surviving is his loving family: wife, Virginia; daughters, Pamela and Connie, sons-in-law, Shawn Vecellio and David Chapman; brother and sister Grover Bustillo and Irma Bustillo; sister-in-law Herminia Paz; nieces and nephews, Lola Paz, Margarito Paz and Victor Bustillo; grandchildren, Xavier, Arielle and Lolita.
He will be greatly missed …
