It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Tommy Alfonso Jr., a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather at the age of 83. A widower for many years, he lived a life centered around family, hard work, and the simple joys of being outdoors. He was the proud father of three children, a cherished grandfather to seven grandchildren, and a beloved great-grandfather to fourteen great-grandchildren. His family was truly his pride and joy, and nothing brought him greater happiness than spending time with those he loved most. He had a special love for the outdoors and could often be found outside tending to his yard, especially enjoying cutting grass and keeping everything neat and beautiful. He will be remembered for his steady presence, his dedication to family, and the love he gave so freely throughout his life. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He is survived by his children, Stacy A. Ruiz (Shawn Leiter Ruiz), Shawn V. Ruiz and Francine Kaufman (Travis; his grandchildren, Paige, Brent, Devin, Joshua, Caydee, Cody and Bradley; his great-grandchildren, Kohen, Kaine, Makie, Brent Jr., Navy, Emma, Valen, Lena, Camden, Rush, Keller, Ronin, Annie and Dodie; his siblings, Eurilda Latapie, Sylvia Gonzales, Lester and Edward, and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sandra M. Alfonso; his parents, Esther Hutchison and Tommy Alfonso Sr.; his brothers, David, Terry and Ervin. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
