Fernando was born in Cameron, TX. and moved to Bakersfield, CA in 1945. He attended Lincoln Jr High and BHS. Our Father's humor was one in a million even the very last day he still found a way to make us laugh. He loved his Oldies but Goodies and western movies especially "the DUKE" John Wayne! Special thank you to Debbie for her unselfish love and care for our father.
