Frank Tenorio Ramirez

Friday, July 27, 2018, at the age of 66. He was

born in Fresno, CA, on July 16, 1952,to Ramon and Connie Ramirez.

Frank grew up in a farmworker family and worked in the fields for

most of his childhood into his teenageyears. He attended

Bullard High School, where he excelled academically

and played on the varsity baseball team under coaches, Mike

Noakes, and Bob Bennett. His love for the sport would continue into his

adulthood when he would play alongside his brothers, Raymond

and Robert Ramirez. In 1974, Frank graduated from

California State University, Fresno,with a Bachelor of Science degree

in Business Administration. He went on to graduate from Boalt Hall

School of Law at University of California, Berkeley, in 1977, where

he earned his Juris Doctorate degree. Going back to his roots, Frank

wanted to help those in need and became an impassioned attorney

for California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc., to fight for farmworkers'

rights. He was also a founding member of the Central Valley La Raza

Lawyers Association. It was the work Frank accomplished during

these years as a young attorney, which he was most proud of in his

career. In 1984, Frank partnered with attorney David Hernandez, and

together ran the Law Firm of Hernandez & Ramirez, for the next

27 years. When his eldest daughter, Irene, became an attorney, Frank

opened his own private practice,the Law Offices of Ramirez &

Ramirez, in 2011. Frank's hard work ethic, love for

baseball, strong Catholic faith, loyal family bonds, and his ability to tell a

story, are parts of Frank to be forever admired. He was the most loving,

genuine, and loyal individual who will truly be missed.

Ramirez; and his brother, Raymond T. Ramirez.
