WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Gamboa enjoyed the love | ||
and support of his wife of 54 years, Guadalupe; he was the devoted | ||

and with the passing years, he had the pleasure of seeing his family | ||
grow to include nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; | ||
his life was further enriched by his beloved dog, Miguel; and | ||
WHEREAS, While the death of Ramiro Gamboa brings immeasurable | ||
sorrow to his family and friends, he leaves behind a legacy that | ||
will long be treasured by all those who held him dear; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
