On October 11, 2022, Lionel Vincent Pena, Sr. joined his loving wife in the kingdom of heaven. Lionel was a dedicated son, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was born on April 26, 1928 and by the age of six had lost both parents. As a young boy he began working at the family store. In 1946 he graduated from Burbank High School and married Constance Reyes in 1952. Shortly thereafter, he began his career as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service. Lionel frequently worked a second job to provide for his family, allowing his wife to stay home to raise their five children. He was a long-time member of the Pan American Golf Association and participated in many South Texas Valley tournaments (and made two hole-in-ones in his lifetime).

He is survived by his children: Deborah Vasquez (Raul deceased), Lionel Pena, Jr. (Sandra), Sandra Inclan, Philip Pena (Teresa), Ronald Pena, seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
