He worked as a Contract Manager at Reese Air Force Base for over 10 years, where he was instrumental in establishing their recycling program.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Sylvia Hernandez; and his granddaughter, Faith Hernandez. 

He is survived by his wife, Elsa; his son, Bill Hernandez (Crystal); his daughter, Amanda Hernandez; his brothers, Rudy (Angie), Luis (Vanessa), and Gabriel; and his sister, Irma Solano.
