Jose L. Polanco, "Chacho", 75, of Las Cruces, NM, died peacefully on Sunday, August 26, 2007 at Mountain View Regional Medical Center after a long illness. "Chacho", as he was affectionately known, was born on March 10, 1932 in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico to Jose and Cruzita Lucero Polanco. He was an area resident since 1957. He retired from the Chino Mines in Santa Rita, New Mexico. Chacho was a member of the Catholic Church and was active with the Munson Senior Citizens Center. He lived an exciting life and there isn't one thing that can truly describe his adventurous nature. His mischievous smile only added to his mystique. One thing is for certain his love for his family was second to none. He will forever be remembered as a loving grandfather, father, husband, uncle, and friend. He is survived by two sons, Cesar Polanco and wife Socorro of Las Cruces; and Rigoberto Polanco and wife Kodie of Albuquerque, NM, one daughter Rosemary Polanco of Las Cruces, NM, two sisters Maria Concepcion Polanco and Manuela Sandoval both of Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, MX and one grandson, Cesar Valles Polanco.
