Dad loved life, family and friends (and his tequilla) He was always the life of the party. He was a very witty guy always had a comeback. He was a Raiders fan which made most of us mad during football season. He worked construction and on the railroad for many years. He was a Charro and loved to ride his horses. Dad and Mom loved to dance which is probably what they are doing right now. He was a good dad but he was the best “grandpa”. He loved all his grandchildren so much.
