Jose M. Villaescusa's Obituary
Jose Villaescusa Moreno (Chacho) Was born on April 12, 1927 in a very small town, Bacadehuachi, in Sonora, Mexico. The youngest & last survivor of his siblings, passed away on August 6, 2012. He was married, for over 60 years, to Rosalva Laborin de Villaescusa, they had 7 children, Jose Juan, Maria Elena, Angelina, Elsa Gloria, Maria, Arnoldo and Trinidad, 17 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. In search for a better life for his family, he immigrated to the United States in 1956. He struggled and worked hard to reach all his goals. His family always came first and made sure their needs were always met. He never accepted help from anyone, however, he always helped everyone who asked. He was very proud of his experiences and accomplishments.Even though he was constantly in pain, he never lost his sense of humor and made everyone around him laugh with his endless stories from his past, his made-up jokes, or playing tricks on them. The greatest pain he suffered was when his son, Trinidad, passed away and the other was leaving his wife if he left first. He always thought of her, before himself, up until he took his last breath. He also thought of his children and did not leave one single detail pending. He thought of everything and reached all his goals.A great man, son, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend is gone but his memory, love and guidance will stay and live in our hearts forever.Rest in peace, we love you and will miss you, until we are together again.
