Robert ("Bob") Martin Del Campo passed away on September 3, 2007. He died 

peacefully at home, surrounded by his family. Bob was 78, born in El Paso,

At the age of 15, Bob used his sister's birth certificate to enlist in the 

U.S. Navy. He served on the U.S.S. St. Louis during the Pacific campaign in 

World War II, battling enemy ships and planes in and around the Marianas 

Islands, Solomon Islands and the Philippines. Bob married Ofelia Pena on 

September 2, 1951 and shared a loving relationship for fifty-six years that 

included raising three children, Yolanda, Steven and Cynthia. He was a proud 

grandfather of nine and a great-grandfather of five. Bob owned and operated 

several furniture manufacturing companies that catered to the retail and hotel 

industries. After retirement, his hobbies included digital photography, 

gardening, computers and working on small projects in his garage. During the 

last few years of his life, Ofelia and Bob enjoyed visiting and entertaining 

with new and old friends at the American Legion Hall in Montebello. He 

especially cherished these lasting relationships. Memorial services will be 

performed at 11:00 a.m. on September 15, 2007 at the SkyRose Chapel, Rose
