Albert Mendoza "Big Al" Olguin

Albert “Big Al” Mendoza Olguin, 69, resident of Rialto, California, entered into his eternal rest on Tuesday, July 9, 2019 with his family by his side.
Albert was born on May 27, 1950 in Los Angeles, CA to Cornelio and Mary Olguin. On August 14, 1971 he married Delores Contreraz. Albert was employed as a refuse collection truck operator for the City of Los Angeles for 30 years before retiring in 2009. He loved antiques and often brought home “treasures” he found on the job.
Albert collected everything from coins and model cars to movie memorabilia. He enjoyed watching all types of sports, especially the horse races where he would bet on all the longshots. Albert loved playing cards, listening to music, and spending time with his children and grandchildren.  
Albert is survived by his devoted wife Delores; his cherished daughter, Lorraine; and loving sons, Richard, Albert Jr, and Mario; his eleven precious grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, all of whom brought great joy to his life.
In May of this year, Albert accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He was very excited and spoke about it often. His family is very proud of him for taking the life changing step for his eternal life.
