Freddie Carrasco – Class of 1958
Freddie Carrasco, Class of ’58 passed away May 20, 2014. No details.
George Sherman adds:
Freddie was a great guy. His sister, Josephine (Carrasco) Sepulveda, was in my class (1956) and passed away a few years ago. He married Monica Wheeler of the Trona High School class of 1957. I believe they were living in Ridgecrest.
Bill Schuette adds:
I am so sorry to hear about Freddie.
He was in my Trona Class from the second grade on. He was the best speaker in Miss Delores M. Sandeen second grade class. I worked with Freddie at Van Dyke Motors during the last couple of years at Trona High School. He was a man of many desires and passions, and was always friendly and considerate of others.
This is a great loss for the class of ’58.
David Mock – Class of 1961
I have just learned from David’s sister, Bonnie, that my longtime neighbor and childhood friend, David Mock, passed away on October 4, 2013. Bonnie, his sister, said that the muscular dystrophy (MD) pain was getting to him and he was in a great deal of pain that not even the medication could relieve.
This is corrects an earlier error about his death date and sadly, an admission that I don’t take the time to read things very well.
