I completed high school and shortly thereafter met my wife Eloisa. At the age of 4 my my parents moved north to Tijuana, Mexico. I was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1942.
We married in 1967, and moved to South Gate, California as legal permanent residents. We later became U. S. citizens. In 1970 we relocated to Placentia, California.
My wife and I have four daughters and six grandchildren.
I worked for Bank of America for 40 years and retired in 2007.
My father Erasmo was the most influential person. He had a profound belief in God and instilled the same in me early in life. Rev. Tacho Rivera, was also very influential in my spiritual life and growth.
In 2003 I was ordained Deacon for the Diocese of Orange by Bishop Todd Brown, and have been serving our St. Joseph Catholice Church parish since then.
