I didn't know Theroel personally, but I knew him when I saw him. He had one of those "cool dude" type hair-dos, all piled up like the famous singing groups had. I believe he was an athlete, and that his family was rather important in town. His father or grandfather was a dentist or a doctor? Not sure. He died too young whether it was right after high school or before the 1990s when we lost track of him. May he rest in peace.
If any of you have any more information, please let me know. We want to recognize all our deceased classmates somehow.
