Nicholas Hernandez, a labor leader who marched with Cesar Chavez in the 1970s and was a founding member of the Ronald McDonald Charities San Diego, died May 15.
He was 73.
Hernandez was one of six brothers and eight sisters. He was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, in 1946 and grew up helping his father plow the field. When the family moved to Barrio Logan when he was seven, Hernandez brought that work ethic with him.
To pay for a private education at Saint Joseph’s grammer school, Hernandez got a job.

“He started working when he was 12 years old sweeping outside Perkin’s Super Market to pay his own way through grammar school,” said his wife, Connie Hernandez.
