He was born February 22, 1923, in San Juan de Los Lagos, Jalisco, Mexico. Like millions of Mexicans, Chuy immigrated to the United States in the 1940s to work in the booming post-war factories in the Chicago area. In the 1950s he moved to Stockton to work in the fertile fields and canneries of the San Joaquin Valley. Over the years, Chuy also worked as an extra-hand longshoreman at the Port of Stockton. Chuy moved his family from Mexico to Stockton in the early 1960s. Along with his wife, Enedina Loza Perez, they raised five children in "El Barrio de los Chivos" in East side Stockton. As Catholics, Chuy and his family have been parishioners of St. Gertudes for over 40 years. Chuy was a loving father who instilled a hard-work ethic in his children, all of which graduated from Franklin Senior High and went on to attend Delta, U.O.P., U.C. Berkeley, Stanford, and Harvard. The family's most cherished memories of Chuy include all of the road trips and vacations spent together in Mexico. Chuy had any "amigos" both in Stockton and in San Juan de los Lagos. He loved to tell stories about his life experiences that made his friends and family smile and laugh a lot. All of his family and friends will miss Chuy dearly. Chuy is preceded in death by his son, Miguel Perez and survived by his wife, Enedina Loza Perez, children, Jaime Perez, Irma Perez, Yolanda Alvarez, and Eduardo Perez and grandchildren Daniel and Sarah Alvarez and Nicolas and Elizabeth Perez. A Mass in his name will be held at St. Gertudes Catholic Church, 1663 East Main St., Stockton, at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, November 19, 2004.
