Cruz leaves his bride Bev, two daughters, Mary Ann (Raul) Halison and Jeanette (Javi) Gonzales, two grandchildren, Jessica and Marcus Halison and eight nieces and nepherws. Also, his brothers James and Thomas and sister La Vonne.
 His hobbies were carpentry, garage sales, visiting casinos, traveling, but mostly his ranch in San Martin. He loved spending time with his grandchildren as much as possible.
 Cruz was a good salesman and finding the best deals. He had a lot of wisdom, advice and was the best story-teller ever. He made everyone laugh all the time and was the life of the party.
 He was one of a kind, a legend. A celebration of Life for Cruz/Jess will be Sunday, at 14145 Columbet Ave., San Martin, CA at 3:00 P.M.
