When I first meet my husband he was 27 years old, we had gone through some rough times. He ws born in Del Rio Texas on June 16,  1957 and he moved to Ozona Texas with his parents and his siblings. He had told me he worked in various places. Then he went to Wyoming with his brothers. He worked in oil rigs and that is when I meet the love of my life. He was young when I meet him. He was very active and never sood still. He had a black Camero, then as time went on he got a antoher car and then a truck. Then he was laid off the oil rigs and he was tired of working for the rigs. Then in 1989 he started a job a the gold mine in Eureka, Nevada and that eas the forst time he had worked at mine, He ssatred out in the mill and he liked that but he wanted to become a Heavy Equipment Operator. At the he tried to transfer to tht area and could not. So he decided to go to another mine and ther is where he got the chance to leatn how to operate that Heavy equipment. He was so happy that he finally fond the job that he wanted. In 1999 he got a job a Barrick Gold Strike mine as a truck diver runnning the 340 ton trucks. Then as time went on he ws trained to run the heavy equipment like dozer, electirc shovel, blade, he loved running heavy equipment that was his pride and joy. He took pride in his job making sure that everything was done right. At the mine he meet a lot of people there, he had his special friends every, he would go to breakfast with them on his last day of night shift. He loved to plant trees and do yard work that was his passion, to make sure the grass was green and the trees were trimmed. One thing about him he was always busy doing something. He would make people laugh and say the most craziest things. The was not one person that did not him he knew everyone. He helped everyone even if he did not know them. In 2007 he got sick and that really threw him down he worried about everything. He worried about things before he got sick. He was a very special man in our lives..May he rest in peace. 

Hector c Elizondo  is the love of my life, there is a special place in my heart and he will always remain there...
