Guadalupe was born December 11, 1921 in Edith, CO to Angelita Salazar Talamante and Alfredo Talamante. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He will be missed dearly. He was such a wonderful and caring person to everyone. When he saw someone needed help, he was more than happy to do the best he could. If it meant giving his last dime, or giving up his jacket, he would do so willingly. He had the best sense of humor, always playing practical jokes on his family and friends. He had that silly little grin. Service will be held Sunday, November 19, 2006, 5:00 p.m., at French Mortuary, Lomas Blvd. Chapel, 10500 Lomas Blvd. NE. Rosary will be recited Monday, November 20, 2006, 11:00 a.m., at French Mortuary, Lomas Blvd. Chapel with interment following at San Jose de Armijo Cemetery.
