The family of Manuel Marquez Alidio, 85, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Manuel Alidio was born on 02/25/1936 and entered into eternal rest on 04/29/2021. He served in the United States Navy from 05/13/1960 to 03/31/1961.
After he left the Navy, he worked in management for the Pacific Bell Phone Company for 20 years.
He was a devoted Catholic participating in many ministries within the church. He was also an avid golfer. One of the things he loved most was rocking his grandchildren to sleep.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Teresita; sons Raul and Michael; daughters Maria and Cristina; and six grandchildren.

sghdbeast@gmail.comYou do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
