The Santa Anita Park family mourned Thursday morning upon the news of popular longtime Broadcast Department member Lou Villasenor’s unexpected passing at age 58.

Employed at Santa Anita for more than 40 years, Villasenor was walking to the car with his brother Jose, preparing to come to work from their home in nearby El Monte when he announced he was dizzy and collapsed. He passed away at Arcadia Methodist Hospital, just across the street from Santa Anita.

“Lou was just simply a good human being and a very dear friend, never mind being a terrific and loyal employee,” said Amy Zimmerman, Vice President of Business Coordination & Director of Broadcasting who worked with Villasenor for more than 30 years. “He loved racing and he loved Santa Anita, and everyone here truly loved him. Lou is one of those people you will never, ever forget.”
