Obituary

Guillermo "Memo" Velasco Martinez, 55, loving husband of Matilde for 33 years; beloved father of the late Manuel, Elizabeth (Mauricio), Jessica, Rodolfo, and Victoria; grandpa Memo of Daniela, Julian, Toñita, and Mia; treasured son of Petra; cherished brother of ten siblings; devoted uncle of many nieces and nephews; and friend to many.

Memo loved cooking all types of fare, but his labor of love was his restaurant "Memo's Tacos". When not working he loved to spend his time visiting family in Zacatecas, spoiling his grandchildren, and doting on his wife and children. Some would describe Memo as a loving and delightful grump. He will be missed by many loving family members and friends.

Guillermo "Memo" Velasco Martínez, 55 años, amado esposo de Matilde durante 33 años; querido padre del fallecido Manuel, Elizabeth (Mauricio), Jessica, Rodolfo y Victoria; abuelo Memo de Daniela, Julián, Toñita y Mía; hijo preciado de Petra; querido hermano de diez hermanos; tío devoto de muchas sobrinas y sobrinos; y amigo de muchos.
A Memo le encantaba cocinar todo tipo de platos, pero su trabajo de amor era su restaurante "Memo's Tacos". Cuando no estaba trabajando, le encantaba pasar el tiempo visitando a su familia en Zacatecas, mimando a sus nietos y mimando a su esposa e hijos. Algunos describirían a Memo como un gruñón cariñoso y encantador. Muchos familiares y amigos cariñosos lo extrañarán.
