In 1968, Ambrosio and his bride, Fresneda, sought a new life of unlimited opportunities for their growing family by moving to the United States. They were blessed with six children and nine grandchildren. Highlights of his career as a beloved family physician include a Lt. Colonel rank in the US Public Health Service and over 25 years of private practice in the lakeside town of Sulphur, Oklahoma.

Ambrosio retired in Lavon, Texas, where he reverted to his farming roots by growing vegetables, fruit trees, and also by cultivating a deeper faith in the Lord.

He is survived by wife, Fresneda Gines (Fernandez) Pinaroc; and family, Edgardo Fernandez Pinaroc and wife Tess (Rubio) Pinaroc, M.D., Elena Rubio Pinaroc and husband Karlo Mendoza, Kevin Rubio Pinaroc, Daisy Rubio Pinaroc, Marie Fernandez (Pinaroc) Hubbell and husband Richard John, Clare Marie Hubbell, Owen Eden Hubbell, Marietta Fernandez (Pinaroc) Salmon, Wilfred Fernandez Pinaroc and wife Charlene, Logan Mason Pinaroc and wife Charie, Nestor Fernandez Pinaroc, M.D., and wife Lynn Marie, Devin Nicole Pinaroc, Lauren Marie Pinaroc, Vincent Fernandez Pinaroc, Kelly Marie (Kinsman) Pinaroc, and Peyton Patricia Pinaroc.

His legacy will always be the smile that he had for everyone he met. Behind that smile was an incomparable joy, love for life, an unstoppable sense of humor, and complete trust in our Almighty Father.

Visitation will be 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Thursday, March 26, and funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, both at Rest Haven Funeral Home in Rowlett, Texas. Interment will follow in Sacred Heart Cemetery.
