The family of Eduardo P. Rocha has invited the Patriot Guard to honor this Korean War Hero. It will be our distinct honor to do so.
Eduardo was born on October 11, 1930 in Los Angeles, Calif. and passed just 16 days after his 86th Birthday on October 27, 2016.
Eduardo finished school and started his next phase of his journey thru life entering the United States Army on Sept. of 1954. During that time in the Army he served during the Korean conflict. After proudly serving his Country he was honorably discharged as a Corporal on July of 1956.
After Eduardo's time in the Army he went to work for McDonnell Douglas in Los Angeles and for the City of Los Angeles as an Electrical Engineer in the planning Dept. Eduardo worked that position for over 30 yrs.
Eduardo loved being with his family in his off time and loved playing with his 7 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren. Eduardo was 86 yrs young when he passed from this life into the next.
He will be dearly missed.
Eduardo leaves behind his wife Rosario, and 5 children. 3 sons, Robert, Gerardo, Manuel, 2 daughters: Elizabeth, Minerva , 7 Grandchildren, and 3 Great Grandchildren.
