He is survived by sons, Ed Luna (Judy), Loy Luna (Fay) and daughter, Marcella Ward (Martin); 11 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. A World War II Veteran, he was born in El Paso, Texas. He and his family moved to Arizona in the 1950s. He worked as a Quarantine Inspector in Nogales, AZ. He volunteered as an interpreter at UMC with his wife. He loved to garden, play golf, take pictures of family and scenery, do carpentry, loved to draw and paint and proudly displayed his paintings. He was also a member of The Knights of Columbus. The twinkle in his eye exemplified his love for family and his very social nature. People who knew him consistently called him "a gentleman" and he was loved by many whose lives crossed his.
