George "Papa George" Frangadakis, July 29, 1917- September 8, 2010, It is with great sadness that the Frangadakis family announces the passing of their patriarch, "Papa" George Frangadakis. A beloved husband, brother, father, uncle, papou, cousin, and friend, George will be forever missed for his humor, his wisdom, his fight, and of course, his huge heart. George is survived by his wife of 69 years, the love of his life, Katherine (or as he liked to call her, "Katie"); brother and sister-in-law Manos and Helen Frangadakis; sister Helen Francis; son and daughter-in-law Dr. Kenneth and Angie Frangadakis; son and daughter-in-law Lonnie and Elaine Frangadakis; and daughter Marilyn Frangadakis Spero. He also leaves behind his adoring grandchildren: George Frangadakis; Naki Frangadakis Bauer and husband Michael Bauer; Alex Frangadakis and Andrea Frangadakis; Michael Spero and Matthew Spero; as well as his great grandchildren Zoe and Dylan Bauer. His two sisters, Beth Dudunake and Mary Crisel, precede George in death., Always a fighter, George was born the surviving twin of Kanakis and Katina Frangadakis in Sunnyside, Utah on July 29, 1917. Yet, the fight didn't stop there; growing up as a first-generation Greek American in the coal mining community of Carbon County, Utah, George had to be quick-witted and tough to survive. In fact, it was at Carbon County High School that George received his self-proclaimed PHD in Street Smarts and Common Sense (an education that served him well in all his business endeavors). Fearful that George would have to work in the coalmines after graduation, Kanakis and Katina moved the family to California with the hopes of better opportunities for their children. George took to the move and at 21 he opened a corner grocery store in Bernal Heights, San Francisco. During, George worked as a supervisor in the Naval shipyards, but not until after the war was George able to pursue his life-long dream of owning a successful nightclub. Venturing into partnerships with his brother Manos, and friends Sam and Pete Pavlos, and Nick Pagonis, George owned up to eight nightclubs in San Francisco. They were all credited with having famous entertainers, including Sugar Ray Robinson, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Harry James. In 1958, George moved his family to Cupertino and opened the Escort Club in Sunnyvale. In 1960, he opened a hofbrau house and called it the Brass Rail. George has continued to manage and operate The Brass Rail, along with his brother Manos, up until present day. A colorful nightclub impresario, George continually changed the theme of his club, keeping it contemporary and popular. He even went to such lengths as incorporating the infamous boa constrictor into the entertainment. Although George embraced the persona of a tough guy on the outside, he is known for his huge and generous heart. He was always the first to proclaim that his greatest wealth was the love of his family, and his greatest joy has been watching his children and grandchildren grow and achieve success and happiness in their lives and respective endeavors. George was proud of his Greek heritage and was a member of the Pan-Cretan Association, Ikaros Chapter for 35 years. He had a great passion of the outdoors, sharing his love for fishing, hunting and camping with his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and many friends. George is also credited as being the founder of the annual Greco-Roman fishing trip. The first trip began with his two sons Kenny and Lonnie, and nephew Michael Frangadakis of Stockton, and has evolved into an annual tradition for the past 40 years, which includes over 200 participants., Prayer service (Trisagion), Sunday, September 12, 2010, 7:00pm at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 1260 Davis Street, San Jose. Funeral services, Monday, September 13, 2010, 10:00am at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, San Jose. Interment at Madronia Cemetery, Saratoga, Ca.

Education made a big difference in his life, and he worked hard to extend educational opportunities to others, both in the South Bay, and for his 5 grandchildren.

After a brief illness, Shirley Harris died peacefully at home on Friday, August 27th, with her husband and daughters at her side. She had just celebrated her 70th year of marriage to Robert Harris on June 8, 2010. Born in Dixon, Illinois, on November 10, 1922, Shirley Mae Hunt was the seventh of eight children of Charles and Mae Anderson Hunt. With the early death of her mother, Shirley traveled alone to California as a thirteen year old girl. Living with a brother in Southern California, she fondly reminisced about a first plane ride at age 14 that an employer set up with Howard Hughes. When her brother was transferred to Oakland, Shirley moved with him where she then assisted families in Oakland, Piedmont and Berkeley as a nanny. In 1940, she graduated from Berkeley High School; a day later she married her beau, Robert. As a high school graduation present Shirley had received a one-way bus ticket back to Illinois, so Robert proposed that day. Rather than be separated, Bob and Shirley eloped to Reno on June 8th, 1940. While Robert served the US Army in France, Shirley worked at the Oakland Naval yard. After the war, she both worked and cared for her children, while Bob finished his education and worked two jobs. Moving from Oakland to Santa Rosa in 1946 changed the path of Shirley's life. She encouraged her young husband to venture out into his own business; in 1952 Bob joined with Hal Trebbe and they purchased King's Stationery located at 424-4th Street. Trebbe sold out to Robert and Shirley one year later. In the beginning, Shirley did the bookkeeping at King's in addition to rearing four small children. She and Robert had three daughters and one son. For many years Shirley was a member of the First Presbyterian church and later she and Robert helped build the community of the Center for Positive Living Church in Santa Rosa, a community based on Norman Vincent Peale's Christian teachings. "A quintessential mother of the fifties", according to her daughters, Shirley combined raising her children with the pleasures of a social life and abundant friendships. She balanced her commitments at home with those of her friends: she entertained, went to dances and theater and kept a well managed home. She engaged fully in her children's schooling, church, and all extra curricular activities ranging from Brownies to Bluebirds, the study of piano to song. In the sixties, as her children reached adulthood, Shirley turned her interests to education and travel. In 1969 she went back to the Santa Rosa Junior College to study literature, history and art. She tutored adults who could not read or write. She studied painting to capture her favorite landscapes: the mountains, lakes and nature she learned to love over many years of camping, fishing and playing outdoors. From 1957 to 2007, she travelled to nearly every continent. From Russia and China to South America, she used her travel to inform her actions. In the late sixties, she hosted foreign exchange students from Germany and Ecuador; both Rosemarie Feig and Silvia Castillo to this day call "Mom" for advice and friendship. Her family grew far beyond her four children to include those international and local students she helped via educational scholarships. An avid student of life, Shirley enjoyed discovering new ways of seeing: painting, reading, bird watching and tending the palette of her expansive rose garden. She loved music, dancing, cooking and every avenue to community. Shirley described her own life as "so blessed"; she gloried in the friendship of so many remarkable women and men. She regularly called on and assisted her sorority sisters of over 60 years, and her beloved line dance community of the past 25 years. She lived seeking all paths that led her into long and trusted friendships. She was well loved by all persons she met in life, as she radiated humility, caring and love. She was also an advocate for her daughters and their inspiration to take on new challenges. Shirley was preceded in death by her daughter, Lynne Harris Kennedy and by her granddaughter, Madeline Harris Eckel. She is survived by her beloved husband Robert W., her two daughters, Judith Harris-Frisk and husband Jerome Frisk (Santa Cruz) and Shirlee Harris (Sequim) her son, William R. Harris (Aptos). Her grandchildren, Tawn O. Kennedy, (Santa Cruz), Michelle Harris Zolezzi, Joy and Daniel Harris (Nashville), Weston Harris Frisk (Santa Cruz) and Nathalie and Genevieve Harris Eckel (Seattle) all loved their grandmother dearly. Shirley enjoyed one great grandchild, Anthony Zolezzi. A woman of immense generosity, Shirley will be dearly missed by family and friends. A memorial will be held on October 2 at noon at the Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made to the Shirley Harris Memorial Scholarship Fund, Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation, 1501 Mendocino Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95401 or to your favorite charity. |
Passed away suddenly on August 15, 2010 while vacationing on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Stewart was born to Dirk and Sjoukje Halbersma on March 2, 1939 in Ferwerd, The Netherlands and emigrated with his family to Alberta, Canada when he was 13.

Stewart exercised regularly, walking many miles in San Francisco during breaks at work and later at home in Sebastopol. He enjoyed fixing things and spending time on his computer, keeping in touch with friends and family.

Bill was born December 21, 1928, on a farm near Laquey, Missouri to Harry and Pearl Thompson. In 1933 the family left the farm and began the Great Depression Migration. During the next years Bill attended seven different schools in four different states by the time he reached the fifth grade. Most years he started the school year in November or December, due to the family working harvesting crops. He was a mediocre student until a wonderful teacher, Phrona E. Bates, got him transferred to her school where she had 11 students and needed at least 12 to be able to keep her one room school operating. Her students included the first to eighth grades. Mrs. Bates changed Bill from the average student he was, to achieving the highest score in a County wide test in Sonoma County, California given during the eighth grade. Bill moved to Humboldt County in 1947 and worked at lumber mills and later as a timber faller until 1951 when he served in the Merchant Marines and The Marine Corps during the Korean conflict. He began his Real Estate career September 14, 1955. He married the love of his life, Juanita, February 22, 1957 in Carson City, Nevada, and they spent their wedding night trying to get over Donner Summit during a huge snow storm so Juanita could get to San Francisco to take her Real Estate Brokers examination. Bill and Juanita spent the next almost 50 years in the Real Estate business, developing Valley West in Arcata, CA, as well as cattle ranching in Oregon and Northern California, and owning and operating three avocado groves in Southern California. Bill was president of the Humboldt County Board of Realtors in 1961, Realtor of the Year, and president of Baywood Golf and Country Club in 1971. Perhaps because of their humble beginnings, Bill and Juanita always had the desire to help worthy people in need. They have set up a fund with the Humboldt Area Foundation, named the "BILL AND JUANITA THOMPSON FUND FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT". After providing for their heirs and college funds, the balance of the estate is donated to the Humboldt Area Foundation to distribute the income to Hospice, Cancer Society, Senior Resource Center, Alzheimers and other worthy charities. This distribution should exceed $200,000 per year for many years. Juanita died November 10, 2006 from pneumonia. Bill is survived by son Steven; daughter Laurie; brothers Jim and Jeff; sisters Allyne and Norma; and numerous nieces and nephews. At Bill's request, there will be no services. Care is under the direction of Pierce Mortuary, 707-442-3751. Condolences may be left at |
