Frumencio "Mencho" Ysaguirre

Passed away peacefully at the young age of 74. My dad was a simple man never asked for much and was always very quiet. My dad loved to dress up when he went out.

One of my fondest memories was when I was able to buy him a pair of western boots & hat.

Every time I would visit from California or he came to visit me, he always had them on until he was unable to wear them.

My dad would come visit me & my family in San Jose for Thanksgiving & spend some time with his sister in Nipomo. At a certain point, he could not travel due to his condition and he was greatly missed during the holiday.

I owe a great deal of gratitude to my Tia Janie & cousin Stella for taking care of my dad when I could not.

When his illness took over, they took care of him without hesitation & gave him the proper love, care and attention he needed from a sister & niece.

My dad lived a great life & I always saw what a hard worker he was. From joining the army, traveling back and forth to pick tomatoes, pickles & sugar beets and working the fields, working on cars or cutting grass he always worked hard at what he did.

Coming home to the valley will never be the same now that you are gone. The ranch will be here, the trees, the memories & even though I cannot see you or touch you….you will forever be in my heart…I love you dad…you will be truly & greatly missed.

Burial will be held Friday, January 10th @ 3:00 PM in the San Benito Memorial Park.
