"El Monte, California (CNN) -- Thousands stuffed the bleachers on both sides of a California high school football field Monday night to remember a beloved teacher who was slain in Mexico a few days ago.
Grieving family members, friends and residents of El Monte, California, waved glowsticks in the air and listened to heartfelt stories about how Augustin Roberto 'Bobby' Salcedo was a devoted family man and an inspirational educator. They heard, too, that he was a practical jokester who made people laugh.
Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin' ' blared on loudspeakers. And there was a quieter anthem: Salcedo's family sang 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' to honor the die-hard Dodgers fan."
