Angel R. Bejarano

Angel was called to his Savior and reunited with his wife Maria Cortez Bejarano of 59 years. He was born on 9/13/15 to Jose Angel Bejarano and Ynes Rodriguez in Redford, Texas, and was raised by his grandmother, Cornelia Bejarano. In 1966 he and his family moved from New Mexico to settle in Visalia, Ca. He was member of Holy Family Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, Minster of Holy Eucharist, Guadalupanos, and was also a Crusillista. Angel loved to tell stories of when he worked with Western Union delivering mail by bicycle. He worked for the City of Visalia and as a farm laborer for many years. During his retirement years he enjoyed riding his bicycle around his neighborhood and would also ride to pick up his grandchildren from school and give them a ride home in the basket, which they dearly loved. His mornings were spent on the front patio reading the newspaper and drinking his morning coffee and afternoons watching baseball, and enjoyed gardening. He is survived by his children; Inez (Zeke) Provencio, Maria (Lupe) Garcia, Angie (Francisco) Manjarrez, Joe (Stella) Bejarano, Louis (Alma) Bejarano, Abel Bejarano, Alvaro (Linda) Bejarano, Alice (Carlos) Lopez, Adolph Bejarano, 34 grandchildren, 52 great grandchildren, 2 great great grandchildren. Dad will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts, but it brings us comfort knowing that he has lived a long and fruitful life and has now been reunited with our mother. Visitation will be held at Miller Memorial Chapel on Thursday, Sept. 23, 2010 from 2pm until 6pm, followed by a Rosary at 6:00pm at Miller Memorial Chapel.
