Raul was an outgoing and friendly man who was love by many, many friends, relatives and all his family. Originally born in Batuc, Sonora, Mexico, he immigrated to the United States in 1950 at the age of sixteen.  He began his business career in Los Angeles, California. Since then he owned several businesses in California as well as Tucson.  One of his biggest delights was having family reunions with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at his ranch near San Xavier Mission.  We all love and miss you deeply.  Rest in peace Grandpa.  He may be gone physically, but will forever live in the hearts of all those whose hearts he touched.
