Alfonso Camargo 86, falleció pacíficamente en casa el 14 de Mayo de 2020 en Corona California, rodeado de su amorosa familia. Alfonso vivió una vida plena y alegre dedicada a su familia. Llegó valientemente a los Estados Unidos en busca de una mejor forma de vida para su familia, y finalmente se convirtió en ciudadano estadounidense. Era conocido por su ética de trabajo, patriotismo y amor por su país, pero seguía siendo muy reminiscencia de su rica herencia Colombiana.
Alfonso nació el 22 de Julio de 1933 a Crisostomo, contratista de construcción, y Blanca (Olaya) ama de casa, en Bogotá, Colombia y se crio con sus hermanos Leonor, Pablo, Elisa, Emma. Rosa, Francisco y Marta. En 1961, a la edad de 28 años, conoció a su novia, Clara Inés Sánchez, en una fiesta de Navidad, y rápidamente se enamoraron. Alfonso y Clara se casaron el 7 de Septiembre de 1963 y fueron inseparables durante 57 maravillosos años hasta su fallecimiento. En 1965, nació su primera hija Marcella, y Alfonso se fue a los Estados Unidos en busca de un futuro más brillante. 2 años más tarde, cuando estableció su residencia en Gardena California, envió a su joven familia para que se uniera a él. Luego, él y su familia se mudaron a Huntington Beach cuando compró su primera casa. Su familia creció en 1968 con el nacimiento de su hijo Marco y en 1978, cuando nació su hija menor Veronika. Era un padre orgulloso y amoroso para sus hijos, proporcionándoles las oportunidades que no tuvo en Colombia.
Alfonso disfrutó de una exitosa carrera como maquinista aeroespacial con Air Industries Corporation. Era conocido por tener una gran ética de trabajo, siempre orgulloso de sus contribuciones a la empresa, y rara vez faltaba un día de trabajo. En 1994 después de 35 años de servicio, Alfonso felizmente se retiró para pasar tiempo de calidad con sus hijos y nietos. Alfonso disfrutó de jardinería, camping, ver fútbol de la Copa Mundial (y arraigarse para el equipo Colombiano) y viajar a Laughlin para montar motos acuáticas en el río Colorado con su familia y amigos. Le encantaban especialmente las reuniones familiares, visitar con sus hermanos, hermanas y muchos sobrinos y sobrinas, y disfrutó de sus viajes a Florida para visitar a su hija Veronika y su familia. Estaba muy orgulloso de su familia grande, y amorosa. ¡Había tantos recuerdos maravillosos!
Alfonso es sobrevivido por su esposa, Clara (Camargo), sus hijas, Marcella (Martin) y Veronika (Tourgeman) nietos Lauren (Pajarito-Martin), Erica (Martin), Christopher (Tourgeman), Nathan (Tourgeman) y sus hermanos Leonor (Chávez), Rosa (Evans-Johansen), Emma (Bonelli), Elisa (Rodríguez), Francisco (Camargo) y Marta (Camargo) y muchos sobrinos y sobrinas. Es precedido en la muerte por sus padres Crisostomo y Blanca (Camargo), su hermano Pablo (Camargo), y su hijo Marco (Camargo).
Alfonso siempre será recordado como un hombre de honor, carácter e integridad. Un hombre trabajador que puso a Dios primero en todo lo que hizo, y lo dio todo por toda su familia. Descansa en paz, Papi. Tocaste tantas vidas de una manera positiva, y sin embargo siempre te quedaste humilde. Fuimos muy bendecidos de tenerte en nuestras vidas. Siempre te amaremos y recordaremos. Hasta que te volvamos a ver.

Alfonso Camargo 86, passed away peacefully at home on May 14, 2020 in Corona California, surrounded by his loving family. Alfonso lived a full and joyful life dedicated to his family. He bravely came to the United States in search of a better way of life for his family, and eventually became a US citizen. He was known for his work ethic, patriotism and love for his country, but remained very reminiscent of his rich Colombian heritage.
Alfonso was born July 22, 1933 to Crisostomo a building contractor, and Blanca (Olaya) a homemaker, in Bogota, Colombia and was raised with his siblings Leonor, Pablo, Elisa, Emma. Rosa, Francisco and Marta. In 1961, at the age of 28, he met his bride, Clara Ines Sanchez, at a Christmas party, and they quickly fell in love. Alfonso and Clara were married September 7, 1963 and were inseparable for 57 wonderful years up until his passing. In 1965, their first daughter Marcella was born, and Alfonso left for the United States in search of a brighter future. 2 years later, as he established his residency in Gardena California, he sent for his young family to join him. He and his family then relocated to Huntington Beach when he purchased his first home. His family grew in 1968 with the birth of his son Marco and in 1978, when his youngest daughter Veronika was born. He was a proud and loving father to his children, providing for them the opportunities that he never had back in Colombia.
Alfonso enjoyed a successful career as an aerospace machinist with Air Industries Corporation. He was known to have a great work ethic, always proud of his contributions to the company, and rarely missing a day of work. In 1994 after 35 years of service, Alfonso happily retired to spend quality time with his children and grandchildren.
Alfonso enjoyed gardening, camping, the outdoors, watching World Cup soccer (and rooting for the Colombian team) and traveling to Laughlin to ride jet skis in the Colorado River with friends and family. He especially loved family reunions, visiting with his brothers, sisters and many nephews and nieces, and enjoyed his trips to Florida to visit his daughter Veronika and her family. He was very proud of his large, close knit and loving family. There were so many wonderful memories!
Alfonso is survived by his wife, Clara (Camargo), his daughters, Marcella (Martin) and Veronika (Tourgeman) grandchildren Lauren (Pajarito-Martin), Erica (Martin), Christopher (Tourgeman), Nathan (Tourgeman) and siblings Leonor (Chavez), Rosa (Evans-Johansen), Emma (Bonelli), Elisa (Rodriguez), Francisco (Camargo) and Marta (Camargo) as well as many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents Crisostomo and Blanca (Camargo), brother Pablo (Camargo), and son Marco (Camargo).
Alfonso will always be remembered as a man of honor, character and integrity. A hard working man who put God first in everything he did, and gave everything for his entire family. Rest in peace, Papi. You touched so many lives in a positive way, and yet you always remained humble. We were so very blessed to have you in our lives. We will always love and remember you. Until we see you again.

Tio Alfonso was my Papi’s twin. I’ll never forget when my Papi passed away and we had everyone come over after the funeral, Tio Alfonso was dancing the night away. He was dancing too every song, just like Papi would have done at any family gathering! I’ll miss you Tio Alfonso.
Love,
Briana Camargo

It is with profound sadness that we extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Members of the Camargo, Martin and Tourgeman familes on the loss of a devoted husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother and uncle. Although we did not know Mr. Camargo well, we had the pleasure of meeting him and Mrs. Camargo when we traveled to California in 1986 to attend the wedding of his eldest daughter, Marcella and my nephew, Paul Martin, and joined in family gatherings at their home on holiday and other visitations. We were always welcomed as family.
While it is never easy to say Goodbye to a loved one at any time, to do so while a pandemic is raging across the country makes it impossible to come together as a family in order to support one another and grieve collectively.
Our caring thoughts and fond memories of Mr. Camargo will be with you all as you meet online in celebration of his long and successful life.
