Salvador Soto Granados, known for his wit, intellect, and boundless love, passed away on March 14, 2025, in Plainfield, at the age of 81. Born on December 4, 1943, in Mexico, to the late Salvador Soto and Beatriz Granados, he radiated joy and affection to those around him.

Salvador led a life marked by dedication in both professional and personal spheres. After retiring as a CTA bus driver, he became the proud owner of Midwest Global Trucking Company, known for his hard work and integrity.
