Kino was a bodyman for many years. He was also an artist. He loved to paint and sketch the lanscapes and old churches of New Mexico. He loved spending time in his shop, inventing and re-inventing all kinds of things.

As a Teamster Member, he loved working in the movie industry. He met, worked with and drove some of Hollywoods biggest legends such as John Wayne, Gene Kelly, Henry and Peter Fonda, David, Keith and Robert Curradine, Christopher Reeves, Oliver Stone and his good friends Bruce Dern, Sam Elliot and Stacy Keach.

Kino was very proud of his accomplishments as well as his family. He loved to travel and make people laugh. He loved football and was a Washington Redskins fan for over 60 years.

His formidable presence will be greatly missed.

We Love You Dad.

The family has entrusted Rivera Family Funeral Home, Espanola, with the care of their loved one.
