Southern California Edison officials announced today that a memorial fund has been established for the family of SCE employee Jose "Raul" Ros, who died Thursday while working on an infrastructure improvement project in Menifee.
Edison International, SCE’s parent company, has donated $25,000 to start the memorial fund. Any employee or member of the public who is interested in making a contribution to the fund can send donations to:
Jose "Raul" Ros Memorial Fund
c/o Edison International Community Investment
2244 Walnut Grove Ave.
Rosemead, Calif., 91770
For memorial fund questions, call 866-524-8533.
Ros, who worked as a distribution lineman, is survived by his wife and two young daughters. He was an employee at the company for 11 years.
"We are extremely saddened by this tragedy and extend our condolences to Raul’s family," SCE President Ron Litzinger said. "Members of the Edison family have expressed their desire to support Raul’s family, and with the establishment of the fund, we will be able to help them during this extremely difficult time."
Ros, 38, of Winchester was working in an underground vault near the intersection of Murrieta and Ridgemoor Roads about 7 a.m. Thursday, according to David Song, a spokesman for SCE. An explosion and fire at that location was reported at about 7:45. Firefighters arrived to find SCE workers trying to revive Ros, who died at the scene.
