Tata,
I never had the opportunity to meet you but I take such pride in you and having your name. All the things I hear from everyone, family, friends, and people of the community all have such wonderful things to say about you. I can only imagine what it would have been like to have you in my life.

53 years ago I was a 16 year old who became part of the Arizona National Guard unit there in Tucson.
I remember the First Sergeant Henry Villegas. I assume that this is who this obituary is about. I am so sorry to learn that he passed at such a young age. However, life is like the twinkling of an eye, and God always calls home the one's he wants with him. I really appreciate my brother Gilbert sending me this information.
May God bless the Villegas family.
