Our father was a hardworking man and he lived in the Salinas Valley for many years and later retired in San Antonio, Texas. He marched by Cesar Chavez beside his brother Julio fighting for what was right for farm laborers. He enjoyed visiting his hometown in Zaragoza and visiting friends and family. His family was his priority and focus. Jose looked forward to their daily conversations and spending quality time together.
