Cesar A. Marin Huertas, 81
June 29, 2020
Cesar A. Marin Huertas, 81, passed into the presence of his Savior Jesus Christ surrounded by his family at his Manor Twp. home on Monday, June 29, 2020. Born in Vieques, Puerto Rico, he was the son of the late Antonio Marin and Georgina Huertas. Cesar celebrated 56 years of marriage with his wife Frances (Rodriguez) Marin.
He served in the US Army during the Vietnam War. A tool and die maker, Cesar worked for Grumman Aerospace Corporation in Long Island for 32 years. Cesar worked on the space Lunar Module and the space shuttle Challenger, and he could name every part of an airplane. Cesar loved his job and co-workers, who taught him many things about life, and they admired his work ethic.
Cesar and Frances moved from Long Island back to Vieques after he retired from Grumman, and then to Lancaster two years ago. He was a devout Catholic.
A kind and generous man, Cesar’s legacy is that he always helped others throughout his life. He was soft spoken and quiet, but always observant. He often said “a dollar is earned, never taken” and “we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.”
Cesar enjoyed pier fishing with a special friend in Vieques. He also enjoyed fishing with co-workers from Grumman, and watching professional bass fishing shows on TV.
In addition to his loving wife Frances, Cesar is survived by their 4 children, Marc Anthony Marin, husband of Flora (Messina) of Bradenton, FL, Jacqueline B, wife of Kenneth A. Norman of Lancaster, James E. Marin, husband of the late Lori (Truppo) of Flanders, NY, and Michael D. Marin of Columbia; 13 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren; and 3 siblings, Iris Portela, wife of Manuel, Charlie Marin, husband of Socorro and Oswald Marin, husband of the late Lillian. Cesar was preceded in death by 6 siblings.
Cesar’s family will greet friends from 1 to 3 PM, followed by a celebration of his life at 3 PM, on Tuesday, July 7, 2020 with The Rev. Allan F. Wolfe officiating, at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Cremation interment will take place in Vieques, Puerto Rico.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice & Community Care, PO Box 4125, Lancaster, PA 17604-4125 or ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

Dear Frances and family, I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Cesar. I have always admired your marriage and family, and no doubt his passing leaves a big hole in your hearts. As I watched the touching tribute to his life, I’m reminded what a beautiful life he had and how much love he left in his wake. I imagine he’s reunited with many loved ones now, not there least of whom is my Uncle Pepito. I hope they’re up there enjoying a cervecita and enjoying some laughs. Praying for your strength and comfort.

Dear Frances, iam so sorry for your loss, it was an honor knowing Cesar a man of true integrity,loyalty and a man who gave respect for all. I looked up to Cesar as a true roll model and I will continue to pass that on to my kids and make sure they will never forget what Cesar stood for. They sure don’t make them like they used to. This world lost a great man, I know he is with Jesus our Lord and Savior as Cesar truly believe in Him and was a faithful man. Again with heartfelt condolences to you and your family as I will keep you all in prayer.
