Longtime Hermosa Beach treasurer John Workman passed away last week, just three days after losing a battle for re-election.
Workman had been the city's treasurer for 18 years. He was also the longtime owner of Triangle Hardware on Pacific Coast Highway.
Workman had recently been hospitalized for chest pains and died on Friday of an apparent heart attack, family members said.
Workman's family will hold a viewing from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight at Rice Mortuary, located at 5310 Torrance Boulevard in Torrance.
A memorial service will be held tomorrow, Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Hermosa Beach Community Center Theater, located near the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Pier Avenue.
A reception will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Clark Building, located at 861 Valley Drive.
Family members have requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to one of Workman's favorite charities, the Salvation Army of Redondo Beach and Torrance.
Flags at Hermosa Beach City Hall were flown at half-staff in Workman's honor.
