A proud veteran, he served with honor in the United States Marine Corps, bravely participating in Operation Desert Storm. His love for his country was matched only by his love for his family and his passion for sports, especially his Dallas Cowboys, whom he cheered for with fervor and joy. In 1971, Pedro married his soulmate, Maria, and together they built a life filled with love and laughter over 55 beautiful years. They were blessed with two wonderful children, Peter and Lisa, who, along with their spouses Yesenia and Richard, brought immense pride and joy to Pedro’s life.
