Robert J. Almazan
January 14,1946-October 7, 2011
Robert was a millwright for GM for 33 years. as well as in real estate.
'Brief stay in army due to death of his father. As head of home where there
were still other children to raise, he stayed with his mother to raise them.
He did marry and have 7 children. was very active at Cristo Rey church,
always willing to help with seniors and the nuns of the parish. 'Even
remodeled the chapel at their convent.he had a passion for helping those
in need. After being divorced for many years, Molly his
widow now, met and fell in love; traveling everywhere, even cruises. 'Was
a wonderful life, but as life happens, his diabetes took over, so on to the
big state of Texas they went for his health where he still continued to help
those in need. He sponsored 2 small one room schools across the border
in mexico every year not only supplying pencils and paper, he had AC units
installed, and heaters when it was cold. 'Bought Christmas toys for total
of about 68 children every years since 200, just to name a few items, all
out of his own pocket.as usual. Even after going blind and going on dialysis,
he still got things done. He wasn't perfect, no one is, but it's nice to know he
was a good person with a very big heart. So very briefly, that's what I want those
who didn't know him very well, what a kind and generous and greatly loved still
person Robert was. Sorry I forgot you all knew him as Bob and I always called
my Robert.
I hope you can use some of this; I know he probably would have wanted me to put
in about the Future Farmers and stuff, he was proud of that. But I knew the person
he was. Feel free to edit or add whatever . I appreciate you doing this for all those
who have passed away.
Thank you.
Molly Almazan
