Leo Gutierrez Obituary
Leo was born in San Francisco de Macoris, Dominican Republic on November 6,1943 to Telesfora Francisco and Emiliano Gutierrez. He was married to Maria Castellanos on May 8th, 1967.
He would say, his greatest accomplishment was bringing his family out of poverty to live in United States (New York) and providing them the opportunity to live the life he never could in his home country. Maria was the love of his life, and his children his greatest pride. Baseball was his passion, rice and beans his delight, music and dancing his joy until the very end. He was a devoted son to his mother until her death in 1989.
Leo is survived by his wife, Maria Gutierrez, their six children, 16 grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren, and his daughter by heart, the daughter of his late sister, whom he lovingly called his own.
He is predeceased by his parents, four sisters, and two brothers.
