Frank H. Cordova

El Paso - Frank H. Cordova passed from this life on December 4, 2020.

He was born January 3, 1932 in Manassa, Colorado to Francisco J. Cordova and Refugio (Effie) Salazar Cordova. His passion in life was working, starting out at Santa Fe Railroad while also doing construction jobs. He saved part of his salary until he was able to open his own company, which became El Paso Crane & Rigging, which now operates as Alliance Riggers and Constructors.

Frank was known throughout El Paso for his indomitable spirit and firm handshake. He loved UTEP basketball and rarely missed a home game with Bruce and Roberta and a grandchild. He was a vibrant man his entire life, spending many "retirement" hours working on his property, the Jack Rabbit Ranch.

Frank will be deeply missed by so many, including his wife Roberta Cordova; his children by his first wife Nova Snyder: Phillip Cordova (Debbie), Glen Cordova (Yolanda), Michele Cordova (Doug Ayers), Audrey Cordova, Paul Cordova (Liz), Teri Stevens, Laurie Vigil, Robert Vigil, Thomas Cordova (Kelly); stepchildren: Beth Ann Cordova, Melissa Thompson, Douglas Youngs, Bruce Youngs (Irene).

Brothers and sisters surviving him are Fred Cordova (Josie), Harold Cordova (Mary), Leonard "Lee" Cordova, Dora Duran, Mary Pratt, Lorraine Mares, and Evelyn Lucera (Melvin). Frank was preceded in death by his sister Elda Atencio (Fred)

Frank had 27 Grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

I worked with Frank on many construction sites in El Paso and highly respected him for his integrity and honesty. As a Superintendent I valued his abilities and the concern he showed for the safety of not only his own workers, but all those on the construction site. My sincere condolences to his family. He was a fine man and friend. Sincerely, Jerry Hill
