They all loved him very much and will miss him dearly.

Roberto grew up in Villa Corona Mexico and was proud of his heritage. He gave his heart to its rich community and was happy to raise his family in the environment of strong values and hard work.

He started working at a very young age on his family ranch where he raised cattle and grew sugar cane. He later started working as a foreman/manager at the local sugar cane factory where he was considered a good leader and productive individual.

In 1964, Roberto sacrificed his time and efforts to provide opportunity for his family by working in the United States (Orem Utah) in the orchard industry. Even though he was not provided an education for himself, he always knew the importance of educating his children and made sure they were given as many opportunities as possible.

Roberto was highly respected by all those who knew him. He was known to be full of integrity, honest, humble, hardworking, family oriented, a loving father, devoted husband, and quiet leader. He left a legacy to his children and grandchildren to be respectful to oneself, work hard each day, never give up, and be good to one another. He will be greatly missed.
