After his military service, Lupe knew he had to find work to provide for his young family and decided to make the move to Moses Lake. He moved here in 1952, not knowing what work he would do. After his move here, he knew he that Moses Lake was where he would live and raise his family. Lupe and Nora raised seven children here: Vicki, Linda, Lupe, Tom, Peggy, Tammy and Rolando. He was not afraid to work and was loyal to those he worked for. Lupe became very knowledgeable in the potato harvesting industry. His hard work and knowledge gave him the opportunity to advance into management.

Lupe never knew a stranger; he made many friends during his lifetime. He was always willing to help others. Lupe will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
