Antonio C. Banuelos (1936-2006)

Some sad news out of Texas. My high school friend Patty Banuelos lost her father to prostate cancer last Thursday.

He was born November 15, 1936, in Fresnillo Zacatecas, Chihuahua, Mexico, to the late Fidel Banuelos and Felicitas Castanon.

He was a retired welder of Rosales Welding Shop.

He married Juanita Lucio, November 19, 1960, in Lubbock, and was a member of St. Francis of the Assisi in Wolfforth.

Besides Patty and Mrs. Banuelos, he is survived by one son, Juan Antonio Banuelos of Lubbock; daughters, Felicitas Banuelos of Albuquerque, N.M., Nancy Banuelos of Austin, and Corina Lang of Temple; one granddaughter, Michelle Renee Murphy of Austin; three brothers, Agapito and Jose Banuelos of Chihuahua, Mexico, and Fidel Banuelos of Wolfforth; and two sisters, Luisa Valdes of Wolfforth and Margarita Armas of Puebla, Mexico.

My sincerest condolences to the family.
