| November 10, 2011 5:00 AM

Eusebio Castillo Hidalgo Jr. 80 years old was a long time resident of Moses Lake, WA. He was a beloved husband; father, brother, uncle and friend who went to be with our lord on October 31, 2011.

Eusebio was born in Bracketville, Texas on March 21, 1931 to his father, Eusevio Hidalgo Sr. and mother Amparo Alvarez Hidalgo.

He grew up in Uvalde Texas, graduated high school and enrolled in the Army on March 28, 1949. Eusebio served in the Korean War. On November 14th1956 he received honorable discharge from the Armed Forces of the United States of America as Corporal Eusebio Hidalgo Jr.

He later met his wife Mercedes Garcia and 3 children.

In 1962 the family moved to Moses Lake, WA where he later became employed with Phillips Ranch as a foreman in Lind, WA for over 20 years.

He then became a Chore worker when he retired.

Eusebio enjoyed taking trips to Alaska where he fished out in the ocean. He also enjoyed classic cars, John Wayne movies, boxing, and football and he had an extreme amount of love and compassion for his pets. He loved his pets so much that he would take the time to cook 80/20 ground beef with seasoning for his pets to enjoy daily.

To many family and friends, Eusebio was known as "Veve", "Chevo", or "Joe". His sense of humor, giving heart and tender advice will be missed tremendously. Eusebio will be missed but never forgotten.

Eusebio is preceded in death by his parents, Eusevio and Amparo Hidalgo and his beloved wife of 40 plus years, Mercedes Garcia Hidalgo and son Ricardo Garcia.

Eusebio is survived by his 4 siblings, Eva, Sylvia, Maria, Alma and his two children, Anita Zamora and Mel Garcia.

Funeral services were held at Benson Family Funeral Service. He was interred in a family plot in Moses Lake, WA. A gun salute and taps played with a presentation of the American flag was given. He laid to rest next to his loving wife Mercedes, "Meche".

A special thank you to the El Sendero Church, Pastor Mike Alvarado Jr., extended family and friends for your support, kindness and gratitude during our time of grief. Words can't express the heartfelt gestures that were received.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war and a time of peace. -Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
