He worked as a sanitation engineer for the Vallejo Garbage Service, and as a foreman at All Souls Catholic Cemetery and Mausoleum until his retirement.

A generous and amiable man, Guadalupe enjoyed vacationing, poker, dominos and large holiday gatherings with family and friends. He remained immersed in his culture throughout his life, attending festivities and supporting Latino causes while serving as a bookkeeper and sergeant-of-arms at times for the Concilio of Latinos until its end.

Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Consuelo; his son, Ricardo (Melinda); four grandchildren;

two great-grandchildren; and many, many friends and family who will always remember him with great love and appreciation for the kind and faithful man he was throughout his life.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday with the Rosary at 7 p.m. Monday at Twin Chapels Mortuary, 1100 Tennessee St., Vallejo. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Basil's Catholic Church, 1230 Nebraska St., Vallejo. Entombment will follow at All Souls Catholic Cemetery, Vallejo.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of Twin Chapels Mortuary, Vallejo, (707) 552-6696.

Dear Chelo, Rick & Family,
Our condolences to you on your recent loss. I remember Lupe when the both of you would come over to visit with my parents. Us kids would love having you over because this meant we would be able to enjoy staying out late playing with our friends, which didn't happen when we didn't have guests. I also remember Lupe being a part of a group of friends my dad would meet with every morning for coffee and donuts on Springs Road. I thank Lupe for his continued friendship with my dad and making my dad's mornings something to look forward to. May God bless you and your family. Much Love, the Doroteo and Paula Diaz family!!
