Salvador Guerrero Obituary

Salvador Edward Guerrero Oct. 11, 1931 - Sept. 28, 2010 Resident of Niles, CA After a short illness, Sal passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, in the home he had built for his wife and children in Niles. He was 78 years old. Born in Niles, California, he graduated from Washington High School in 1949. He then served in the Air Force. He was a retired electrician and electrical con-tractor. He enjoyed attending his children's, grand and great-grand-children's sport-ing events and performances, being involved for many years in the Niles/Centerville Little League, meeting with fellow classmates for break-fast, being involved in community projects and spending time with his family! He was a highly skilled master crafts-man and also had a life-long love of trains. He is survived by Jackie, his loving wife of 58 years, children Steven, Bruce (Michelle), Brian (Sylvia), Jeff, Judy, daughter-in-law Allison. He was preceded in death by his son, David. He was beloved "Pampa" to his grandchildren Josh (Kelly), Jessica, Rebecca, Ben, Tony, Kendra, John and Kathryn, and their mother Anita, and very special great-grand-children Daniel, Alicyanna and Kloe. You have left us but will never be forgotten. Thank you for the wonderful memories-you will be missed beyond words! Friends and family are invited to attend a celebration of his life on October 16th at 11:00am at Corpus Christi Church, 37891 2nd St. in Niles. A reception will follow at the family home. Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or charity of your choice.

Sal,
We considered it such a blessing when we met you...you touched our hearts with your wonderful spirit and we will never forget you. Our hearts are heavy for your family that must go on without you...but only until you meet again. The memories you left and imprints on hearts can never be taken away. Rest in peace..."Mr. Train Man" you will forever be in our hearts.

Our hearts go out to the entire Guerrero family. Sal will be missed for his enthusiasm at our Softball games and his loving comments for Theresa, myself and all our kids. He was a straight shooter with not to much sugar coating...His telling of his stories of all the kids especially the twins stories (as we have twins) will be forever in our hearts. I can still envision Sal with a cup of special brew coffee and hot dog along side Bruce at our games. Hearing Sal, as I approached the plate, "You better hit the damn ball John...Theresa already got a hit." Still brings a smile to my face and always will...

Pampa-

There are no words to describe how much you will be missed by both your friends and your family. You were always like the grandfather I never had, and I will always remember how patient you were with me as a child. You let me follow you around and ask you as many questions as I could think of. My memories of you are some of the sweetest I have. You will always be missed.

Love, Little One

Dad
I don't know how to start. You're my number 1 man and I was your little girl. That will never change. I can't tell you how much you mean to me. There are no words that can express my feeling I have for you. You have taught me so much (always do my best, work hard, take pride in what i do, an so much more). YOUR THE BEST DAD. Im going to miss you very much. But you will always be with me. I LOVE YOU DAD

This has been a year of such loss for the Guerrero family and Pampa will be truly missed! What a loving and giving man he was. Always full of such great energy, positivity, and life. People are put into our lives for a reason and I think Pampa was put here to show us all how exceptional we can be. I loved going to the house and seeing all of the beautiful foliage and the train with the bridges and ponds and thinking how amazing it was that he built all of it with his own hands. My heart goes out to Gong Gong and all of the family. Thank you for always making me feel like part of the family!You are all in my prayers now and always.

Love you lots,

Aimee

Once you met Sal Guerrero, you'd never forget him. After 30+ years I'll never forget his candid honesty, his caring questions about how my family was doing, and the chance times we'd run into each other at a Little League or softball game of one of his grand children. What a wonderful man he was. Sal, we'll miss you.
