Hillcrest Funeral Home Obituary

Henry C. Niño, born on August 23, 1918 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, passed away on the morning of June 30, 2014 at the age of 95. He is preceded in death by his mother, Paula, his beloved wife of 48 years, Margaret Niño; brother; Robert Niño, sister; Mary Jimenez, and step-brothers; George and Julio Sotelo. He leaves behind his daughter Gloria Herrera and husband Victor, Sons; Henry Niño Jr., and Richard Niño and wife Adela, his sister; Sabina Sotelo, along with his grandchildren; Alex, Brian, Crystal, Richard Jr., Barbie, Jacob, Vanessa, Elsa, Casimiro III, Adam, and 1 great-granddaughter; Natalie; nephew, Robert Niño Jr..  He will also be missed by his dear friend, Luz Maria Flores as well as numerous extended family and friends.

"Hank" as he was affectionately known, was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.  He served his country during WWII and continued his civilian career as an agent with the American National Life Insurance Company, working as an agent and manager until his retirement after over 30 years.   He enjoyed traveling and made many trips, both with his job and with his family.  Henry had a great sense of humor and liked to spin tales using his imagination to keep his listeners involved in the stories. He was an avid SPURS fan and also liked to play golf and pool. He especially enjoyed staying up many a late night to play poker with his family.  He was very proud of his cars and never let them get old, as he would trade
up to always have a new shiny car in his driveway.  Henry was dedicated to the Lord and lived his life as a good Christian.  His presence in our lives will be dearly missed. 


    Visitation will be held Monday, July 7, 2014 from 4 to 9PM with the recitation of the Rosary  at 7PM. Procession will depart on Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 9:30 AM for a 10:00 A.M. Mass of the Resurrection at Holy Family Catholic Church.  Interment to follow at  San Fernando Cemetery II.
