To Bonnie Managers, Coaches, Members, Alumni, Friends, Parents and Players,

It is with deep sorrow that I need to inform you of the passing of Jose Castro and his mother in a fire that occurred this past Saturday morning at 6 am in their apartment building.

Jose was a member of the Bonnie Youth Club for over 40 years, serving as a Bonnie Manager, Coach, Assistant Athletic Director and member of our Board of Directors. His dedicated and tireless efforts (24/7/365) and the devoted service, passion and caring that he demonstrated towards baseball, the Bonnies and all of our players of all ages on every day of his Bonnie Career will never be forgotten. In addition to his tremendous efforts with the Bonnies he was also the JV coach at Packer High School, ran his own summer camp and did individual academic and athletic tutoring of youth of all ages.

We will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace.

Funeral arrangements are not yet in place but when they do become available we will notify everyone of the details.
