Miguel Vazquez
September 11, 1911 — November 4, 2011
Miguel Vazquez, age 100, formerly of Lorain, OH, passed away on Friday, Nov. 4, 2011 of chronic congestive heart failure, at Memorial West Hospital of Broward County, FL, while under the care of Vitas Hospice. For the past 8 years, Miguel had resided with his son and daughter-in-law, in Pembroke Pines, FL.
He was born on Sept. 1, 1911 in Aibonito, Puerto Rico, moving to Lorain in 1951. He was employed at Elyria Foundry for 12 years and then worked at the former St. Joseph Hospital, retiring from there in 1980.
Grandpa enjoyed reading the Bible daily and meditating, as well as singing hymns. He was a life-long member of Salon del Evangelio (Spanish Gospel Hall), in Lorain. He also enjoyed gardening, traveling, and was a baseball fan, especially of the Cleveland Indians and later on, the Marlins. He was a happy and loving man, who easily made friends with everyone he met. Grandpa cherished his time spent with family and friends, and always welcomed strangers.
Miguel is survived by his son, a decorated Vietnam War Veteran and graduate of Bowling Green State University, David Vazquez, and his wife, Nancy, of Pembroke Pines, FL, his daughters; Alicia Rivera, of Lorain and Maria Delgado, of Aurora, IL, 16 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, and 13 great great grandchildren. He is also survived by a daughter-in-law, Genell Algarin.
He was preceded in death by a son, Socorro Algarin, his loving wife of 56 years, Ramona "Little Grandma" Vazquez, and a son-in-law, Trinidad "Joe" Garcia. He was also preceded in death by his daughter-in-law, Nancy's father, Donald M. Fielder and his other daughter-in-law, Genell's parents, Mae and Buck Nelson.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, Nov. 10th, from 6-8 pm and Friday, Nov. 11th, from 6-8 pm, in the Dovin Funeral Home, 2701 Elyria Avenue, Lorain, where services will be held on Sat. at 11:00 am. Burial will follow in Ridge Hill Memorial Park, Amherst Twp.
