Antonio R. Alvarez, a former long time resident of Winkelman, passed away Oct. 1, 2010, in Tucson, where he had been living for almost 20 years.
Tony Alvarez was born on June 13, 1930, at Christmas, Arizona, and was the son of Gregorio D. and Mercedes R. Alvarez.
He worked for Asarco at the Hayden Smelter for 40 years, before retiring. He was a proud member of USWA 886 and worked for many years as a Converter Puncher, as well as other jobs around the plant. He was especially proud of serving in the U.S. Army and fought in the Korean Conflict.
In his younger years, he enjoyed hunting at the "Quernado" near Aravaipa, and at Pioneer Pass by Dripping Springs, or, just fooling around on the dirt roads in his Willys Jeep. He always looked forward to the different hunt seasons, whether it was hunting deer, javelina, quail, rabbit, or dove. When he wasn't hunting, he could be found fishing along the banks of the Gila River or at the Diversion Dam on the Salt River He loved the outdoors.
Tony was a hard working man, with a big heart. His sense of humor, keen wit, and big smile will be greatly missed by anyone who knew him. He is now resting in Heaven with our Lord, Jesus Christ, or as Tony would put it – gone to "the happy hunting grounds."
He is preceded in death, by his parents, Gregorio and Mercedes; sisters, Irene Garcia, Nellie Alvarez, and Leonor Alvarez. He was also preceded in death by brothers Gregorio, Augustine and Jose Alvarez.
He is survived by one brother, Frank of Tucson; and by his "adopted" children, Virginia Doumis of Phoenix, Art (Nanette) Yescas of Kearny and Lupe (Nick) DeLaTorre of Tucson. Also, he left behind many loving nephews and nieces.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 6, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Hayden. Visitation will be from 9:30 – 10:30 am. Rosary and Mass of Christian Burial will follow. Interment will be at Mountain View Cemetery in Hayden.
Funeral arrangements have been made by Griffith Mortuary.
