Jose Arturo Hernandez, 67, USA, Vietnam, Riverside - 20 OCT 2015

[Ryan Wynn]

The family of Jose Hernandez, 67, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend his service and military honors, we would be honored to do so.

Jose honorably served his country in the United States Army during Vietnam. He served from 1968 to 1972 and had achieved the rank of SP5 at the time of his discharge. Following his service Jose went to work for the Fontana Unified School District as a lead driver. He delivered prepared food to 32 schools. Jose enjoyed wood working and cars which kept his mind busy.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and the memories that he made will forever be cherished.

Jose is survived by his loving wife, 3 sons and 3 grandchildren.
