In Memoriam

The Arc-South Bay has lost some very special people in the last few months. Long-time member Terry Walls succumbed in May after a long battle with cancer; her son Michael used to attend Southwest Industries and she was an active volunteer. Fred Fredericks, who was the father of bowler Kevin Sanders, passed away in April. Samuel Bagsby passed away in April from cancer; his wife Florence serves on our Board of Directors, and his brother-in-law Willie Boykins attends the Hermosa Adult Development Center . Paul Beres died in March. He was a long-time member and father to two of our former bowlers, Anthony and Dennis Parker.
