Rosendo "Fuzzy" Flores

Rosendo graduated from Woodville High School in 1963 and married his beautiful wife Maria Obregon-Flores on June 13, 1970. He enjoyed spending time with his family, dancing with his wife, and taking photographs. He often had a camera around his neck capturing all of the Flores family adventures.
