Efrain Lujan Obituary

July 6, 1931 - November 1, 2015 Se�or Lujan, I will miss you. You were such an inspiration to all of us. As a Mexican immigrant from Parral, Chih. at a young age into the United States, you became a successful proprietor of real estate. You married the woman of your dreams, Delia, and raised 4 beautiful and successful children, three of those USC Alumni! (Javier, Elia, Sandra, and Alma) You traveled the world and enjoyed mai tais in Maui to sangrias in Spain! You lived a life constantly giving to people in need, and even at one point giving the jacket off your back to a total stranger on a cold morning looking through your garbage can. Your faith in God was relentless. You were what St Francis of Assisi epitomized: " Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." Thank you for being my hero! Give my Dad a big hug in Heaven! Love, Robert
