SOL SHOCKET Obituary

In addition to excelling in business, teaching college, being a devoted family man and friend, he also pursued and shared his passion of traveling the world.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Shocket. He introduced me to Macro and Micro Economics at Los Angeles Pierce College for two semesters in 1981. He taught me a new way to look and think about the way the world worked and inspired me to major in and graduate with a B.A. in his subject. I still have the text book he wrote for the class and I look forward to re-reading it now. I wish I had sought him out sooner to thank him and show my appreciation. May he rest in peace and God Bless his family.

Sol left a legacy that will endure forever and I am personally blessed for being able to be a beneficiary of that legacy. The Shockets will always hold a special place in my heart and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Shocket family.
