Edward Salas Armijo - Born 12/06/1927 in San Antonio, NM ... Died 02/24/2012 in Moreno Valley, CA. Edward has been a resident of Moreno Valley for over forty years. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Raquel (Leija), and their blended family of seven children who include: Edward Armijo, Robert Armijo, Jo Ana Brock, James L. Lopez, Sandra Brock, Madeline Lopez and Charles Lopez (deceased). He has fifteen grandchildren and fourteen great-grand children. His surviving siblings are: Margaret Medina, Epifanio Armijo Jr., Andrea Leyva, Barbara Padilla, Jimmie Armijo and Rosie Bachicha. He was a proud veteran and retiree of the United States Air Force after serving over 21 years. He also retired from Pacific Forge Foundry, Fontana, CA after almost 20 years. He was proud of his status in the Knights of Columbus at St. Christopher's Catholic Church as a Knight of the Fourth Degree. Those who knew Dad knew his greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, and in later years - his great-grandchildren too. He loved music, dancing, baseball and watching Westerns, especially if they included John Wayne. During his recent stays at the skilled nursing facilities, he brought quite a chuckle to his caretakers when he would proudly display his recent delivery of homemade salsa or fresh jalapeno peppers for his meals.
