Following obituary for Bobby Trujillo:
Bobby Trujillo dies at 51
CASPER - J. R. (Bobby Joe) Trujillo, the "King of the Road," died Tuesday in Memorial Hospital. He was 51.
Trujillo was a white wings or street cleaner, the last one in Wyoming and a vanishing breed nation wide. A genial man known to almost everyone in the city, he took pride in his work and did it well.
Trujillo would patrol the downtown streets daily with his broom and trash barrel. He claimed to know everybody in town and it was verified by almost constant shouts from motorists, friends and acquaintances. "I always try to smile at everyone," Trujillo would say. And he did.
Born Aug. 22, 1922 in Amalla, N. M., he came to Casper with his parents at the age of one. He spent all of his life here.
Last December, he suffered a heart attack and pneumonia. He was released in mid-March and urged by his doctor to rest. He didn't. "Ya gotta work and make a living." he would explain. "I like to do this all the time. Nobody bothers me."
Trujillo worked for the city for nine years. He was a member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church and Knights of Columbus Council No. 1563 in Casper.
Trujillo was a bachelor and lived at 634 South Wolcott. He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Bert (Cora) Chavez of Nyssa. Ore., Mrs. Fred Struck of Casper, and Mrs. Garlon (Maryann) McCarty of Fountain, Colo; and two brothers, Louis R. Trujillo of Casper, and George Trujillo of Tucson. Ariz.
The Rosary will be recited at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Memorial Chapel and the funeral mass will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. Friday at St Anthony's Catholic Church, with the Rev. Charles Brady as celebrant Burial will be in Highland Cemetery.

After graduating high school in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she moved with her family to Casper, Wyoming, attended some college and began her 30-year career with Mountain Bell AT&T, as a telephone operator, and returned later as a telecommunications technician.
Tina married Dan L. Santistevan on April 25, 1955, at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Casper, Wyoming, after returning as a Korean War veteran. They made their permanent residence in Colorado Springs, Colorado relocating on July 4, 1965.

Brothers, Fred, Bill, Ernie and Chuck Trujillo, and sisters, Trudy Hurley and Emily Alexander; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Tina was a member of St. Paul Catholic Church and was a proponent of Catholic School Education. Her biggest sense of accomplishment was seeing her children graduate from University.
Tina was a life-long history buff, which inspired her desire to be a world traveler, and indeed she traversed the globe. She was able to visit 48 of the 50 United States. Some of her bucket-list international destinations included; The Vatican in Rome; Paris; London; Japan; Jerusalem; Spain; Mexico; Austria; Germany; Ireland; Greece; The Pyramids in Egypt, and an excursion to Machu Picchu, Peru at the age of 80!
Rosary services will be held at 7:00 pm on Friday September 20, 2019 at Evergreen Funeral Home located at 1830 Fountain Blvd., Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Services will be held at St. Paul Catholic Church 9 El Pomar Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado at 11:00 am on Saturday September 21, 2019. Burial rites will be held at Evergreen Cemetery immediately following the services.
Tina was a generous, kind, and loving free spirit, touching everyone who had the pleasure to know her. Our dear Mother, Aunt, sister and friend, Tina, will always be missed by her family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charitable organization.
