Pedro J. Vallejo, Sr. age 73, a longtime resident of Sheboygan, passed away Saturday May 2, 2009 surrounded by his loving family at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center. He was born in Jalostotitlan Jalisco, Mexico on December 4, 1935, a son of the late Jose and Iginia (Jimenez) Vallejo.

Pedro came to the United States in 1962, helping his cousin, farming in California. In 1967, he moved to Sheboygan, taking a job at the Sheboygan Foundry.
