Juan demonstrated his love for learning throughout his life. He finished first in his class in the eighth grade, and upon this foundation, went on to found a successful business, A & A Electric Company in the early 1960s. He had a smile that lit up a room and his beautiful blue eyes would sparkle with his wit and laughter. As an Atrisco Land Grant heir, he will be buried at San Jose de Armijo Cemetery.

He enjoyed daily walks on the ranch and tending to his garden. An avid reader of the daily newspaper, he was always well informed on current events, happening both locally and around the world. He was proud of his Basque heritage and of being a member of one of the founding families of Albuquerque, NM.
