Jose S. Gallegos
“Simon”
Simon was a beloved husband, father, brother, and grandfather. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on November 6, 2015 at the age of 93. He was born January 28, 1922 in Servilleta Plaza, New Mexico. He married the love of his life Tereisa Maria Gonzales on April 22, 1957 in El Rito, New Mexico. They were married 58 years.
He served his country proudly during World War II in the Army of the United States and was employed at Kennecott Utah Copper for 37 years and retired at the age of 60. He was known for his honor, integrity and endearing sense of humor. This great man was charitable and gave selflessly to those in need. He was a man of faith and was a Eucharistic Minister for Saint Martin De Porres Catholic Church. Simon will be missed by all and his memory will forever be in the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing him.
