Pedro Villasenor passed away on June 8, 2018 at Hilltop Nursing Home in Kerrville.\r\n\r\nPedro was born on January 18, 1923 in San Antonio to Rafael Villaseñor and Francisca Garcia. He joined the United States Navy and served during WWII. He married Hilaria Ramos in 1945 at St. John's Church in Hondo. They settled in San Antonio and had two children, one son and one daughter who were their greatest pride. Pedro was an aircraft instrument panel electronics technician at Kelly Air Force Base and retired after over 30 years of service. \r\n\r\nPedro enjoyed a long life full of love and family. His greatest joys were his grandchildren, the Dallas Cowboys and the San Antonio Spurs. He loved a good book, a good political debate and dessert with every meal. He instilled a strong sense of discovery, educational excellence\r\nand civic duty in his family. Pedro never met a stranger and had more than enough jokes to share with all.
