On February 17, JB Aguerre passed away in Chino, California. He was a person with an extraordinary life trajectory inserted in the Basque community of Southern California and in particular the Chino Basque Club

Born in Donoztiri or St Esteben (Lower Navarre) he emigrated to California where he became a recognized 'milkman', raised thousands of cows in Chino, and responded to the Basque stereotype of a Chino Basque.

Successful entrepreneur, he was very committed to both the local primary sector and to his Basque community and heritage, as a pilar of the Basque club, muslari, singer, and club director, as well as president in many terms.

In 2007, the Chino Basque Club awarded him and his wife Claudia its 'Bizi Emankorra' award for a life's work in favor of the Basque community and the Chino Basque Club.
