Poetic Obituaries: To lighten their load, he [Horacio V. Garza] once housed

a family of migrant workers since they had no place to live. He let a foreign student who could not secure accommodations sleep on the couch when he first came to CSU. Some families camped in the trees for prolonged periods when they could not afford rent. A young man with no support from his family set up camp on the land. These are just a few instances of his charitable heart.

Along with his strong work ethic and service to others, he was a writer of poetry and song. He loved to listen to his Mexican and nostalgic crooner music.
