Family, friends and community members gathered for a vigil in Fontana Friday night to mourn the death of a 64-year-old man who was killed in a violent crash while a wanted suspect was fleeing from California Highway Patrol officers.
Loved ones gathered at the intersection of Beech and Cherry avenues where Richard Pshock was tragically struck and killed Wednesday afternoon.
“People we don’t even know, they came. Thank you to everyone for showing up, for honoring my father, and that’s just most important, just honoring his life,” said Pshocks’s daughter, Vanessa.
Pshock’s family said the retired Air Force veteran, actor and voice actor was preparing to celebrate 44 years of marriage with his wife Eleanna, who was seen at the vigil wiping away tears at times.
“Already she’s saying that she’s going to need to keep busy and find those outlets and those things to fill that void because she was very close to her husband,” family friend Liz Arteaga said.
Richard Pshock was on his way to a doctor’s appointment when he was killed. He was in the intersection of Beech and Cherry avenues when Noe Armando Banuelos slammed into Pshock’s Mustang with a Jeep Cherokee.
