Cesar A. Soto
Cesar A. Soto, age 71, of Meriden, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on Sunday, June 4, 2017 with his loving family by his side. He is survived by his long time companion of 45 years, Mildred Rosado, his daughters, Erika and Maribel Soto, sons, Edwin Munoz (Stacey), Adrian Soto (Maria Rivera), Cesar Soto Jr. (Marisol), Jose Soto (Shatina Valdez), Angel Guerra, and Gabriel and Robert Soto, and godchildren Leticia Guerra and Bismark Guerra Jr. He is also survived by many brothers and sisters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and dear friends. Cesar was born in Aguada, Puerto Rico on August 21, 1945. For many years he worked for Cousins Restaurant and Eyelet Specialty Manufacturing, both in Wallingford, but his true passion was cars, having recently worked as an auto body technician in Meriden. Above all else he loved spending time with his growing family, who will all greatly miss him. Friends are invited to visit with Cesar’s family on Saturday, June 10 from 10am-12pm in the Beecher & Bennett-Flatow Funeral Home, 48 Cook Ave., Meriden.

My condolences to the family
My deepest & heart felt condolences to Cesar A. Soto’s dearest family as well as extend family & close friends. I remember Cesar since the 70′. My mom may she Rest In Peace as well work together with Cesar at Eye Lit Specialty Manufacturing in Wallingford. Back then he had a little more hair too. Lol! He was always nice & ready to help someone out that was in need of help. Always giving advice & reprimanding one of the kids on the block. ( Maple Ave. ) If he knew your parents, boy you was going to get an ear full. The passion he had in working on cars was like gold to him as he stood back looking & admiring his work. I could go on, but then I’ll be writing a novel. He’s going to be miss, but not forgotten that’s for sure. Cesar may your arrival to heaven be as amazing & as spectacular as you lived he here in earth!! May Jesus be with everyone who loves him understanding, comfort, support, & love that you will all need at this time & always.
Sincerely, Cindy Batista ( Gonzalez )

Lamento mucho tu perdida. Es en momentos como estos que podemos buscar a Dios, para el consuelo. Nos consuela saber que Dios nos da esperanza para los que han muerto. Observe lo que un escritor de la Biblia dijo: .Tengo esperanza hacia Dios … que sera una resurreccion de justos. (Hechos 24:15). ¡Te mantendre a ti ya tu familia en mis oraciones!
Erika, I was in CT a couple of months ago. Happened to pick up an old newspaper. The face is familar of Cesar. Did he work at Star Barber Shop in Newark, N.J. I worked across the street in the office bldg. I would go and get a hair cut from him. Hope that he didn’t suffer. He was a very caring and kind person. So sorry for your loss.
