Jesus retired from Union Tank Car Company.  Jesus was a loving husband, father and grandfather who would help anyone one who needed it and he was an avid Chicago White Sox fan. Jesus "Chu" Lopez was a carpenter for Christ.  He gave hope to many with his generosity and time to those in need.  In the early 80's Jesus "Chu" took on the role of Pastor to save the Church, Primera Iglesia Cristiana from closing.  Til this day, the Church remains open, All Glory to God!  He was a faithful servant to the end.
