Rev. Prudo Munoz Vicens
June 10, 1920 — September 11, 2008
Reverend Deacon Prudo Munoz Vicens, age 88, of Lorain, died on September 11, 2008 at his home, after an extended illness of heart disease.
He was born on June 10, 1920 in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, moving to Lorain 56 years ago.
Prudo was a devoted Catholic who, after raising his 18 children, was ordained a Deacon of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland in 1986. He carried out his ministry at Sacred Heart Chapel. He belonged to various church organizations, including the Cursillo Movement, and taught Bible Class. He was also employed at Ford Motor Company in Brook Park in the Engine Foundry for 27 years before retiring in 1979.
He will also be remembered as being an avid Dominoes player. He also enjoyed playing cards and being a Cleveland Indians fan.
Though he led a busy life, he was the father of 18 children, who always received the full measure of his love and he still found time to feed and clothe the needy of his community through his work with the St. Vincent dePaul Society.
