Amador D. Munoz born April 30, 1925 in Floresville, Texas to Pedro and Trinidad D. Munoz. He was called home by the Lord on September 11, 2020 at the age of 95. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Delfina; sisters, Beatrice, Martha, and Rebecca.

He is survived by his daughters Martha Munoz, Melinda Munoz, Rachel Munoz-Martinez (Bert); sister, Louisa Travieso (Ernest); grandchildren Bernice (Joe), Monica (Keith) Bianca, Jackie, Julia (Patrick); 6 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.

Amador enlisted in the United States Army in 1943 and served in World War II where he was awarded the distinguished Silver Star medal for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with the 81st Infantry Division during World War II. Battles and Campaigns included the Southern Philippines and the Western Pacific.

Amador retired from his civil service job at Lackland AFB. He worked in the Carpentry shop where he received many awards and letters of appreciation for his hard work and dedication.

Amador had a passion for taking trips to casinos, especially the ones to Las Vegas. He also enjoyed horse racing and placing bets at Retama Park. Most of all, a perfect outing for him involved being with family and enjoying a friendly game of dominoes.

He will be truly missed by everyone. He was not only a hero in combat, he was a hero to us all.
