Long-time Yucaipa businessman LeRoy 'Ken' Rachal, 86, died on Jan. 10, 2023, of natural causes at Redlands Community Hospital. Rachal and his wife Sharon first opened Rachal's Art Center in the current RE/MAX building on Yucaipa Boulevard in 1981. They relocated to their own building on Yucaipa Boulevard in 1985, where they remained for 37 years. They provided community residents with art classes and supplies, and picture framing services until they closed their doors in 2022 due to COVID-19. 'We worked together, side-by-side for 40 years,' Sharon Rachal said.
