Teodoro Rodríguez de la ciudad de Renton habla sobre años de servicio en su comunidad.
After owning one of Renton's most popular restaurants for more than 40 years, Ted Rodríguez is reflecting on his life of making connections and serving others.RENTON, Wash. — In a lifetime, many people can set goals and hope to accomplish a few of them.His titles are many, and they include husband and father, abuelo , great grandfather , restauranteur, volunteer, deacon, and author.
Because of Rodríguez's choice - he now looks to the future, at his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They are part of two new generations in the United States and are a testament to his sacrifices."I start working washing dishes and start from the bottom," said Rodríguez about a restaurant he worked at south of San Francisco.
This desire never went away. More than a decade later - Rodríguez made that dream a reality by taking over Terero's in downtown Renton. He said it was so popular - people would line up down the block to wait for a table. After more than 40 years of owning his dream restaurant, Rodríguez sold it about a year ago to focus on his health and make more time for his growing family.The success of his restaurant allowed Rodríguez to sponsor various community events, make meals for families in need and host class trips to Terero's for kids to learn about Mexican culture and food.Rodríguez was named Renton Citizen of the Year in 1997.
"I want to say thank you to Ted for opening the doors for all the Hispanic community, the Latinos and the Mexicans here in Renton," said Renton City Councilmember Ruth Pérez."He is the living proof that when you come with your dreams and nothing else but the will to succeed, you are going to be a successful person."
