wow! quite an age difference. Condolences to the surviving families.
It is a sad day when someone would commit such an act. This man and his wife operated the “Grumpy’s Jerky” cart that was at many area events, including the annual Farmer’s Fair in Perris – he was always posted up right in front of the Funnel Cake stand.
Always seemed like a nice happy couple. Can’t imagaine what would have led to this. Very sad.
