POLAND - A Memorial Mass will be Friday, Jan. 6, 2017, at 10 a.m. at the Holy Family Church for James Ignacio "Nacho" Berroteran, 88, who died Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016, at home surrounded by his family.
"Jim" was born March 21, 1928, in Youngstown, the son of Miguel and Andrea (Remboa) Berroteran, who came to the United States in 1924 from Chihuaha, Mexico.
He graduated from The Rayen School in 1947 and enlisted in the National Guard from 1947 to 1951.
Jim worked at Truscon Steel for 30 years until retiring. While working, he also owned JB's Carpet Cleaning, and retired again after 30 years at the age of 75.
He was very proud of his Mexican heritage, spoke Spanish fluently and would seek out people who spoke the language, so that he could use his Spanish whenever possible.
Jim was the oldest active member of the Sociedad Mutualista Mexican Club. He was also awarded Businessman of the Year by OCCHA.
Jim was a Poland sports enthusiast and never gave up on the Cleveland Browns. He enjoyed music, dancing, traveling, and meeting the guys at McDonald's.
He is survived by his wife, and high school sweetheart, Mary Ann (Dukat) Berroteran, with whom he enjoyed 66 years together; daughter Patricia Ann (Frank) Guzman of Poland; brother Andrew (Barbara) Berroteran of Boardman; grandchildren Adam (Dani) Guzman of Minneapolis and Lynsay (Josh) Reardon of Columbus; and four great-grandchildren, Gabriella, Taylor, AJ, and Jack.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Joseph and Michael Berroteran; and sister Maria Daniels.
Family and friends may call for one hour prior to Mass.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that material tributes take the form of donations to Hospice House, 9809 Sharrott Road, Poland, OH 44514.
