If you would like to write a brief memorial to any of our classmates that have gone before us, it would be Very much appreciated.  Even a sentence or two would be be very helpful.

Rufino Aguilar

Obituary:  
diane Tollefson - February 9th, 2024
Rudy and Bonnie got married just after our sophomore year in high school...they were both in the high school band and fell in love. The first one in our class to marry and he was so proud to be the longest married couple. He and Bonnie were the glue in the family, organizing many family events and outings. He worked on the skyscrapers in Los Angeles and took my husband, Jim Tollefson, and our nephew, Travis Deal (a skyscraper fan), up to the top of the tallest building in Los Angeles...what a thrill. Sadly he passed away while on vacation. Jim and I went to his memorial. Fellow classmate, Everett Nelms spoke at the memorial...they had gone all through school years together, Highland, Crozier and Inglewood. Rest in Peace Rudy Aguilar...

Diane Deal Tollefson - July 20th, 2017
I remember Bob from high school days.  He was good friends with Mike Cavanaugh and they joined the Navy together.  Bob told me that when he was in high school he was so interested in the horse races at Hollywood park and he loved betting on the horses.  He was very involved in "nuimbers" in Hawaii, he told me...and was surprised that I found him even though he was unlisted.  How did you find me?  well..my boss from Hawaii had a friend on the Honolulu Police Department and we asked him to help find you...WHAT...he said he
always tried to lay low.  Bob came to our 30 year reunion down in San Diego, he had just had a stroke and his sister brought him...it was the only reunion he attended and he met up with lots of his buddies from the past.  When Jim and I went to Hawaii in 1994, he came to visit us and we hada good time together and be brought me a beautiful orchid lei...a very nice guy.

Obituary:  
Diane Tollefson - February 9th, 2024
Diane Bell lived around the corner from me...on Grevillea. Her house is where I voted for the first time, her mother Virginia, also graduated from Inglewood High School. After graduation, she married William A. Holliday and they had a son, JR, but they called him Butch. He had problems, and was in Special Education. Diane and Bill had he in the Special Olympics as a runner and a swimmer. One summer, while camping in their motor home, Butch saved a little girls life in the river....a very special guy. Diane died from Breast Cancer and her wish was that all of us girls would get the tests and catch it early and survive. She and Bill had a wonderful marriage. Diane Tollefson
