I did not plan to put an obituary in the local newspaper. I've reached out to close to 300 people in the last 3-weeks and appreciate you putting out to his classmates his sudden passing. He was always sharing stories of Willow Glen HS. He loved Mexico and we have been coming to Zihuatanejo for the last 34-years. He loved everything about it; the people, the beaches, the sunrises/sunsets, exploring the area, so much so we made the decision to move here permanently. He kept up with his sports and his passion was golf and painting, besides me. March 16, 1951 "-" May 18, 2020. The most important was how he lived the dash "-: , with great joy and his big smile and heart. He was much loved by all. On a side note, he adopted my son Anthony. His two grandchildren, Andrew 17 and Sasha 15 are both into sports, painting, guitar playing and singing. They took after him.
I played senior league baseball with him in 1966 and also WG varsity baseball with him in 1969...he was an all league shortstop in 1967 as a sophomore....no offense to his wife but still remember him and Nicki Rhoades (bf and gf) back in the high school days...shocking but then again I also played baseball with Randy Boehme, Jim Kearney and Frank Woessner who are also on this list....my condolences to all...
