David Moreno

I ran across this old photo of my cousin, the late David Moreno, taken at my parents house in 1975. It sure brought back a lot of memories. Good memories. In a lot of ways, David was more like an older brother to me. More then once he was also my protector. I still miss him. He is the son of Angel (Joe) and Margeret Moreno.  David was in the U.S.Army in the late 60's and early 70's and and he served in Vietnam. David is buried at the Riverside National Cemetery.

This photo was given to me by my aunt Bea. It is my great aunt Peewee's (Hortencia Espinoza) marriage to Frank Wartaza. The wedding was in Los Angeles, approximately 1993 0r 1934. To the left of the bride is my maternal grandmother Mary Osuna (Born Espinoza). The man to the left of groom is my maternal grandfather Augustine "Augie" Osuna. To my knowledge this is the only surviving photograph of my grandfather. The little girl in the front is my aunt Bea (Beatrice Osuna).
