Fr. John Vargas C.Ss.R.

We all grew up at the second ward along with Fr. Johnny. We knew his entire family living on Virginia Street. We were also altar boys at St. Ignatius church.
I communicated with him via email and once by phone while he was in Rome. The most memorable time, was during his ordination to the priesthood, and the reception that followed. My brother Hector Duenez wearing the suit, and Bobby (me) with Fr. Johnny at his reception.
My entire family, and other friends that knew Fr. Johnny were also saddened to hear of his passing. I stay in contact with Henry Concha who also lived a couple houses from the Vargas family. He provided this picture. Again, our thoughts & prayers are with his nephews, and their families.
