The following is a complete listing of obituaries as they appeared in the Jan. 14, 2010 edition of The Inyo Register. Robert Scott Carrillo 1923-2009 A brief memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 18 at the VFW Hall in Lone Pine for Bob Carrillo. Born March 7, 1923 in Los Angeles to Mable Irene (Scott) Carrillo, formerly of Missouri, and August Davila Carrillo, formerly of Guatemala, Bob died Christmas morning of causes incident to age. Bob had one older brother, Don Carlos, who died in infancy. Bob graduated from Franklin High School in Highland Park in 1943. He served in the Navy during World War II as a quartermaster on a ship in the South Pacific from 1943-1945, and was honorably discharged. Bob graduated from University of Southern California with a BA in Communications. He had an early interest in the motion picture industry and helped set up stages for a studio. Bob got into automobile sales and usually owned at least four cars; his pride and joy being a black 1941 Cadillac convertible with a canvas top. His latest and longest lasting career was as a salesman of plastic products. He would travel up and down the state, even into adjoining states sometimes, supplying numerous large stores. After a brief first marriage, Bob married Hendrika Theresia Bos, formerly of Utrecht, Netherlands, in Pasadena in 1957. In 1958, they had a daughter, Jennifer Scott. Hendrika died due to a lifelong kidney condition in May of 1964, at the young age of 29. In October of 1970 Bob married Nevada Hames of Eagle Rock.
Bob enjoyed the Big Band music of the “swing era” and would often have the music of such notables as Andre Previn and Tommy Dorsey playing on his car radio. He was also an avid sports fan, especially enjoying rooting for the USC Trojans, his old Alma Mater. Bob used to play in bowling tournaments and won a number of trophies. He played a little golf as well. Bob had a soft spot for animals, especially cats. “Burpy” was a beloved gray tabby named by Bob and his daughter. As long as he was able, Bob would continue feeding the feral cats befriended by his father in San Gabriel after the latter passed away. Bob also used to like setting out peanuts and making friends with certain blue jays in Eagle Rock or South Pasadena. Bob was a dutiful son who used to take his folks out to dinner and movies, and after his mother’s death, would show tender care for his father in his frail, declining years. From a daughter’s perspective, many special memories include “Shirley Temples” requested by Bob at restaurants; a straw hat and transistor radio at Huntington Beach; the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland (his favorite); being lavished with numerous presents and made to feel special at birthdays and Christmas; and Bob making sure to end each and every phone conversation with “love you” in later years, no matter what the distance between them was. The last years of Bob’s life were lived in Lone Pine, where he loved visiting in prior years. He always looked forward to the Lone Pine Film Festival in October as well as the Fourth of July festivities in Independence. Bob was always independent, living much of the bachelor’s life, even while married. He wanted to make it to Christmas and with death, as in life, and in the words of the song by Frank Sinatra, he “did it his way.” Bob exhibited bravery and concern for others, and his typical sense of humor during his last days. The family issued a sincere thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff who gave Bob compassionate care during his last weeks at Southern Inyo Hospital. He is survived by his wife, Nevada Hames Carrillo of Lone Pine who has been his partner, friend and the rock on which he has relied for many years; and his daughter, Jennifer Scott Carrillo of West Valley City, Utah.
