Jacob M. Moreno Sr.

Jacob Michael Moreno Sr. passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Rosa on December 11, 2024, at the age of 80. He was born on February 20, 1944, in Sells to Mary V. Pablo and Chico Moreno. 

Jacob was a man of many passions. He cherished the time spent traveling, fishing, and visiting casinos.
