Col Carlos Manuel Muniz passed away on May 24th, 2008 at his home in Robson Ranch, Denton, Texas of natural causes at the age of 95. He was born on Feb 9, 1913 in Fajardo, Puerto Rico and graduated from the Ohio State University School of Veterinary Medicine and the Harvard University School of Public Health. After several ventures in Puerto Rico, including a private small animal practice, he joined the Air Force in 1952 and was immediately assigned to Germany. He was reassigned to Madrid, Spain in 1954 to help establish the US Air Force presence in Spain where he spent another 4 years. While in Europe he joined the US Air Force Bobsled team that competed in several World Championships in Cortina (Italy), St Moritz (Switzerland), Garmisch (Germany) and Lake Placid (New York). His Air Force career took him to many exciting places including Washington, DC, California and Panama. He retired from the Air Force in 1975 while stationed at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama where he lived until 2006. He was always very active and retirement proved to be very fulfilling with world travels, golf (one of his passions), and painting, cooking and gardening. He was an active golfer until the age of 93, coming close to shooting his age which is quite an achievement in the golfing community. He moved to Denton, Texas to be close to his son, Carlos, Jr and his wife, Leta .He is survived by his wife of 67 yrs, Gladys M. Muniz and by his three sons: Carlos Jr, Jose Luis and Jaime.  He is remembered by friends and family as a fun loving guy who loved gatherings, especially those that involved food which he was happy to prepare or music to which he loved to dance. There will be a small memorial service at the Mulkey-Mason Funeral Home at 705 N. Locust St in Denton, Texas on  May 30, 2008 at 11 A.M. on Friday, May 30, 2008.   His ashes will be placed at the national cemetery in Dallas, Texas.
