RIP Dr. José Cuéllar aka Dr. Loco. The W. Ray Johnson Foundation just learned about his passing this past January from lung cancer.

He and his band (“Dr. Loco’s Rockin Jalapeño Band“) were friends and supporters of the Foundation and were featured performers at our Student achievement celebration in San Francisco in 2022.

He held a Ph.D. in anthropology from UCLA, and served as professor emeritus of Latino/a Studies at San Francisco State University. Which is one of our partner schools.

Our condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, students and fans!
