In
Loving Memory of Selzo “Sal” Sandoval, age 66, longtime Moses Lake
resident.
On
February 13, 2011 the Lord took our father to heaven. He was the
greatest father, grandfather, uncle, and brother. He was a man of
great dignity and integrity. He earned the respect of all that knew
him. He always made family his first priority. Our dad met the love
of his life Linda Rojas Torres, and together they made a warm
loving home for their children and anybody else who needed a place
to stay. They lived and loved each other in wedded bliss for 35
years.
Sal served his country honorably in the U.S. Army during the
Vietnam War. He was a very hardworking man; he drove truck for
Cenex for 23 years until his retirement in December of 2009. He
loved visiting his son Ray in Arizona, so that is where he decided
to make his new home shortly after retiring. The weather was just
what he needed, and being able to be closer to his
grandchildren.
Sal is survived by his children and their family; daughter Evie and
Mingo Martinez, Ricky Rocha Jr., Justin, Jennifer, Jordan, Jessica,
and Jamie Martinez. Son Raymundo Torres, Lisa, Kandice, Brittney,
Tiffany, and Saltiago Torres. Daughter Annette Holm and Mike
Fabian, Spencer, Aliya, Mya Holm, Zac, Austin, Addy, and Luke
Fabian; 25 great-grandchildren, nieces America and Peter Arnold,
Norma Mejia, and Thelma Mejia and her son Bajyn; brothers Richard
Sandoval and Freddy Salazar; sister Oralia Arnold; and very dear
friend – his sunshine Olga Hernandez.
Sal was preceded in death by his parents Jose and Manuela (Medina)
Sandoval, his beloved wife of 35 years Linda, daughter Lisa Torres,
grandson Joey Martinez, nephew Adam Sandoval, and dear friends Juan
Hernandez Sr., and Phillip Raya.
