He was also a political activist. He was a delegate to Central New Mexico Central Labor Council and spent many hours phone banking with labor urging fellow union members to vote and vote the right way.

The brother/sisterhood will celebrate his life on October 1, 2016 at 1:00 PM at the UA Local 412 Union Hall located at 510 San Pedro SE, Albuquerque, NM.
