Mr. Nieto, a Private 1st Class, United States Marine Corp, 3rd Marine Division, served in World War II from 1942 thru 1945 and was awarded a “Sharpshooter” Medal while in the Marines. Thereafter, he worked in civil services at Ft. Sam Houston and as a small arms repairman at Camp Stanley until he retired in the mid 1980’s. After retirement, he dedicated himself to woodworking and wood crafting, while enjoying his music. Mr. Nieto, along with family, ran the Nieto Softball Complex at the family ranch, which was featured in an article by Mr. Roy Bragg from the Express News in 2015. He was a loyal fan of the Dallas Cowboys and enjoyed watching the games. He was also an avid supporter of the Harlandale Indians High School Football Team and his children and grandchildren softball games. Mr. Nieto loved watching old western and war movies with the likes of John Wayne and Audie Murphy. He also loved family gatherings at the ranch during special holidays such as Easter, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. His most joyous moments were to see all of the family’s cars at the ranch with all of the activities taking place. He was a wonderful listener and loved unconditionally. As a father, He took great pride in his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten, and his traditions will continue for others to emulate. The Lord needed an Angel and it was our DAD.
