We have been invited by our friend Jim “The Mayor” Frost, PGR Member and the family of Sebastian Lopez to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey.
Mr. Lopez served in the U.S. Army from 1960 to 1962. Mr. Lopez received citations/awards that included a Good Conduct Medal, Expert Pistol Marksman, Expert Rifle Marksman and Expert Bayonet Badge. He was honorably discharged as a SP4.
Mr. Lopez loved working on cars and taking care of his puppies.
Mr. Lopez is survived by his wife Margarita and children Rick, Tom, Jim, Sebastian, Lisa and Diana. He also leaves behind 18 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
Please arrive quietly as services will be in progress.
The weather is predicted to be hot so please stay hydrated and don't forget to eat; it can make a difference with your ability to withstand the heat.
