Ismael Hernandez Cerrato, lovingly known as “Don Mailo,” unexpectedly passed on Tuesday, September 27th, 2016 at the age of 77.
Don Mailo was born in Las Peñas, Moroleón, Guanajuato, Mexico on January 24, 1939. His first visit to the United States was as an 18-year-old Bracero to Santa Maria, CA.
His travels included working throughout Arizona, Chicago, Texas, and Redlands, CA, before settling his family in Salinas, CA in 1981.
Despite retiring at the age of 62 after 20 years of working several Salinas Valley Strawberry farms, he continued working as a Foreman through Ramco Enterprises for an additional 15 seasons.
Always willing to lend a helping hand, he enjoyed listening to his radio, spending winters visiting his sisters and brothers in his hometown, socializing with friends, caring for his dog, Maya, walking the neighborhood park, and driving his wife around town in his mini van. As a grandfather, one of his joys included spoiling and playing with his grandchildren. His bright smile, humor, and easy-going nature will be deeply missed.
Don Mailo is survived by his wife of 55 years, Sara, and his 8 children, Lina (Fermin), Jose (Gloria), Arturo (Esmeralda), Ismael, Adolfo, Elia (Leo), Saul, and Gabriel (Loly). His legacy will live on and will be lovingly remembered and missed by his 10 grandchildren and great grandchild.

Le disfrutaba escuchar su radio, visitar a sus hermanos y hermanas en México, platicar con amigos, cuidar a su perrita, caminar por el parque, y manejar su ven. Como abuelo, le daba gozo jugar y consentir a sus nietos. Su sonrisa, humor, y animo serán sinceramente extrañados.
