Gregoria Carrillo Rodriguez and Fernando met in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, and were married for 58 years. He lovingly called her his better half. Fernando worked for Bogle Farms as a farmhand from 1975 to 2010 and retired shorty after. He was a very hard worker, never missing a day of work in all his time working. Fernando was always happy and enjoyed listening to music, and of course, his passion was dancing. His hobbies were gardening and tending to his livestock. He was a patient, fun and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. The family is so BIG, that not all names he was called have been listed. We will all miss him dearly!
