We learned recently that Arturo Garcia passed away earlier this year.
Mr. Garcia was Wells Fargo's first Hispanic Bank Manager. His longtime dream had been, he said, to become a banker and make his way up the corporate ladder to Officer. It happened when he was named Branch Manager in 1967.
After 34 years with Wells Fargo, Mr. Garcia retired and began compiling his life story. He had a deep interest in history and his own role in it — something we at Guided By History feel is absolutely central to properly understanding the past. We all are history, living it every day, with every act. Arturo Garcia understood that, and we are pleased to get a copy of his history, to get the story as he tells it.
It is sad to lose an old friend, but the service he provided to his community is as much his legacy as the dozens of family members who survive him.
Goodbye, Art. And thank you.
