He was born Oct. 15, 1931, one of six siblings to Jose and Francisca Guerra Nunez.
He enlisted in the Army in 1953 and was stationed in Berlin, Germany.
He enjoyed playing and watching baseball. He enjoyed playing pool and horseshoes, as well as gambling at the casinos. In pool and horseshoes, his competitors found if difficult to beat him.
In earlier days, he would let his nieces and nephews drive him to the local carwash so his Thunderbird could be washed and fully detailed.
