“DHF Vecina leader Jaqueline Martinez of Sanger Vecino Unidos®  is our best canvasser and go doer ever! She would bring Mr. Maldonado her Father along with his wife Maria to our Vecino Forum or General meetings to help share their stories of working in the Central Valley farms and also helping the UFW during the Huelga. He was a deep voice stern man, but was very dedicated to his wife. He is missed and remebered for helping the Central Valley.”

“Frank G. Holguin III Was a Sheriff Deputy for the Tulare County Sheriffs Department and also put in 20 years of service in the U.S. National Guard during which he was deployed to the LA Riots, for the Y2K threat, and to the Ukraine for joint NATO Exercises. While serving in the National Guard he earned the National Defense Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Sharpshooter Badge, and Fitness Instructor Badge.
Frank loved spending time with his family, taking them on trips, having backyard BBQ’s and get togethers, going for drives with his wife Barbara, building wooden furniture with his son Frankie, and spending time with his granddaughter Avery.

He was the kind of person that at first meeting, had you laughing, left you with a smile, and feeling better for having been with him. He seemed to always have a funny joke or funny story to tell that would leave you in stitches. He was the first to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. At the holidays he would invite family and friends to his “Open House” to drop by for informal meals. There was never a dull moment around Frank. The world will have less laughter without Frank in it.”

“Salvador was always ready to help our Vecinos Unidos. He even contructed a wooden Arch to hang our banner at every meeting. He was a leaders, father and great friend. Gracias companero por tu apoyo y carino.. Si se puede”
