Alek Senin Feller, 18, of Palm Desert, Calif. died Tuesday September 7, 2010 in the Town of Delafield, Wisc. Alek Feller was born in Suceava, Romania on March 16, 1992, the son of Dr. John F. Feller and Mrs. Karen E. Feller of Palm Desert. He was a student at St John's Northwestern Military Academy in Delafield and a member of Sacred Heart Church in Palm Desert. Even as a teenager, Alek uniquely combined a great work ethic with a strong spirit of altruism including founding and leading a Haiti relief fund that generated thousands of dollars for the Red Cross in Haiti. Alek was an exemplary athlete attaining varsity letters in tennis and cross country while attending St John's. He reached the Wisconsin State Finals in men's singles tennis in 2010.

He is survived by his parents; brother, John Kyle Feller of Boston, Mass.; his sisters, Kaitlin Sarah Feller of Notre Dame, Ind. and Emma Elizabeth Feller of Palm Desert; his grandparents, John Robert Feller of Lake Milton, Ohio, Margaret Ann Rowland of Massillon, Ohio, Maureen and Leo Bossy of Montreal, Quebec in Canada; and God-parents, Ted Joseph Feller and Ellen Joy Sroka.

Passed away gently and peacefully in her home on September 14, 2010 with her much loved husband and best friend Dick at her side. Her last days were spent surrounded by her husband, her loving children and grandchildren and dear friends. Born April 5, 1928 Fran was first generation American and Californian. Her parents, Rufina Mateos and Peter Muñoz emigrated from Spain with their families, eventually settling in Watsonville, California where Fran was born. She graduated from the University of California Berkeley, where she met her life long partner and husband of 59 years Dick. They married in 1951, living first in Oakland and later Castro Valley California where she spent the next years raising their five children. In 1962 they moved to Santa Rosa, and Fran became an active member of AAUW where she and Dick met and made many of their lifelong friends. Fluent in Spanish, and eager to share her skills, Fran began work as a Public Health Aide for the County of Sonoma in 1971. She considered her greatest career achievement her work as a Sonoma County Juvenile Probation Officer where she began working in 1974. Highly skilled at reaching and communicating with young offenders and their families, Fran was greatly respected and much loved by her colleagues. Eager to spend more time at their Jenner cabin, extend their Baja camping adventures and to attend Elderhostels with Dick, she retired in 1988 after 14 years of service. In retirement, Fran joined Dick as an active community volunteer, splitting her time and energy between Luther Burbank Home and Gardens, the VNA Hospice Thrift Store, Salt Point Docents and the Stewards of Slavianka. However, Fran loved and missed the work at Probation, and soon she was back working as a translator. It wasn't long before she was recruited to resume work as a Probation Officer. At the age of 82, Fran was working up to 30 hours per week, sharing a caseload of 105 youth offenders. Twenty-two years to the day after her first retirement, Fran retired for the second time on April 5, 2010. She read voraciously, played with several Bridge groups, swam three times weekly with her "Pool Babes", and completed her daily crossword puzzles - in ink - up through the end of her life. Her incredible wit, humor and energy is sorely missed by us all. Fran is survived by her beloved husband Dick; loving children Nancy Muñoz Bigelow, David Cartmill Bigelow, Jane Maria Bunting (Scott), Paul Mateos Bigelow (Victoria), and Martha Ann Cole (John); grandchildren Christopher and Laura Bunting, Cooper Bigelow, Sam Aguirre, Carmel Aguirre C'de Baca (Nathan); and great grandchild Evan C'de Baca; sisters Dolores Mullikin and Christine Tejada; numerous nieces and nephews and many close extended family members. At her request, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Memorial Hospice, whose compassionate nurses and staff guided Fran and her family through her end of life passage with dignity, understanding, humor and grace.

Janet Neil was born in Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 3, 1945. With her loving husband Jerry, devoted family and dearest friends by her side, Janet passed peacefully into the arms of God on Sept. 6, at her beautiful home on the family ranch in Winters., Janet fought a courageous 3-year battle with cancer, without so much as a single complaint. Janet enjoyed life to the fullest, even during her toughest days she would say, "I am the luckiest woman in the world, I was blessed with a wonderful husband, loving friends. I have traveled the world and I have so much to be thankful for." She was truly more concerned for others than herself., Janet loved horses, nature, photography, antique cars and vintage clothing. She only knew one way to do something and that was "the best" she possibly could. Her contact with nature was something to behold, whether it be at her Eagle Lake cabin or her beautiful home in Winters. She loved to be surrounded by bald eagles, grey foxes, mountain Quail and deer. One of her favorite hobbies was to photograph wildlife, especially birds, and the joy she got sharing the photos with her husband Jerry. "What a team we made" Janet would always say., Janet and Jerry operated family businesses their entire marriage of 43 years. Some of Jerry's fondest memories were of Janet as a young lady giving horse riding lessons to children on a ranch in Sacramento, or touring their old cars through the mountains of Colorado, dressed in vintage clothing. Though, Janet and Jerry had no children of their own, they impacted many lives of children in the community. The friendships that Janet fostered through the antique auto clubs and the cabin at Eagle Lake were evident to the very end, as the calls and cards poured in with prayers and well wishes., Janet was preceded in death by her father, John Williams Sims; mother, Alice Ellen Sims; brother, Gordon Sims; and her beloved in-laws, Lewis and Anita Neil., Janet is survived by her loving husband, Jerry Neil; brother and sister-in-law, Walt and Sally Neil; nephew, John Neil, his spouse Karen and their children, Brock and Ashlynne; nephew, Clark Neil and his children, Sarah and Katie; niece, Laurie Neil Hoskins and her spouse, Doug; and niece, Sandy Neil, all of Winters., The Neil family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the dear friends of Janet for their outpouring of love during her illness. Your cards and phone calls meant so much to her., Memorial service will be held Friday, Sept. 17, at 11 a.m. at McCune Garden Chapel. Arrangements are under the direction of McCune Garden Chapel, 448-6546, www.mccunechapel.com., |

Joe Morello On September 3, 2010 Joe Morello passed from this life surrounded by his family. Having enjoyed 80 years of family, business, sports, and golf, Joe succumbed after a hard-fought battle with multiple myeloma. A gentleman, a man of integrity, honesty, kindness, and generosity, Joe is survived by the family of which he was so proud - his wife (Augie) of 58 years, his children and their spouses (Linda Morello and Javier Gomez, John and Heather Morello, Joe Morello and Trish Breslin), 4 grandchildren (Catherine, Hannah, Mateo, and Anna Morello), cousins and family, and his beloved dog, Tuffy. Joe, son of Maria and John Morello of Mill Valley, lived 77 years of his life in Marin County. He graduated from Park School and Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, and he earned an AA from the College of Marin. A great athlete, Joe was co-captain of his schools' baseball teams and a member of the Jr. Seals. He was a co-founder of the Southern Marin Little League and he coached numerous Little League and C.Y.O. basketball teams. A dedicated fan of the 49ers (season ticket holder) and the Giants, Joe enjoyed both playing and watching sports. The day after Joe married Augie, IJ columnist Jim Gilmartin wrote "Tiburon third sacker Joe Morello didn't show up for his team's game yesterday. Joe was too busy - getting married. The new auxiliary third sacker is the former Augie Perry." And, Joe loved golf, playing several times every week and planning his calendar around his golf games. Joe's great passion was the business in which he co-partnered with the Canepa family - the Mill Valley Market. Both Jim and Bob Canepa were respected and beloved business partners and friends with whom he shared 35 years in business. As the produce buyer at the Mill Valley Market, Joe dedicated himself to bringing the freshest and best produce to his customers and in meeting their special wants and needs. He took pleasure in learning everything he could about fine foods and wines and sharing that with family, friends, and customers. No one could barbecue a steak or prepare a crab dip quite like Joe. At his 50th wedding anniversary, he remarked that he was "the luckiest man in the world" - he had had a business, a wife, and a family he loved. Joe was a member of numerous organizations (SIRS Branch 47, Italian Catholic Federation, Italian Athletic Club). He dedicated his time to his children's schools and to his parish. He enjoyed many friendships - other gentlemen who shared his love of sports, enjoyed his company, and supported him during these past two years of declining health. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Joe and his family wish to express their gratitude to the staff of the Greenbrae Care Center for their extraordinary and compassionate care. And, Joe held his physicians (Dr. Robert Van Herick and Dr. Bobbie Head) in the highest esteem. He valued and respected their care and treatment. Joe Morello was laid to rest in a private burial on Friday, September 10, 2010. Family and friends are invited to attend a celebratory service to be held on Saturday, October 9, beginning with a 10:00 AM Mass at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, 3 Oakdale Ave., Mill Valley. Remembrances may be sent to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or the charity of one's choice. In his memory, kiss your wife, hug your children, love your work, and eat a wonderful meal of fresh foods and fine wine.

Kathleen Marie Kohn Fetzer, matriarch of the Fetzer wine family, passed away on September 15, 2010 in Ukiah, California at the age of 88. The mother of eleven children, she was the wife of the late Bernard "Barney" Fetzer, who founded Fetzer Vineyards in 1968. Born on November 2, 1921 in Luverne, Minnesota, she was the daughter of Philetta and John Kohn. During World War II, Kathleen moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to join her sister, where she was introduced to Merchant Marine Barney Fetzer. They later married and lived in Oregon where six of their children were born before heading to Ukiah, California where their paths would lead them to the wine business. In 1958, Kathleen and Barney moved to an 800-acre property in Redwood Valley, California which would become the "Home Ranch" and the beginning of Fetzer Vineyards. Together with their children, they worked to expand the business into what would later become "Winery of the Year" in 1988. Following Barney's death, Kathleen and her children carried on running the family business, expanding to become Mendocino County's largest winery and one of California's wine dynasties. Fond of traveling, her journeys took her around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Ireland, Greece, Israel, England, Wales, Italy, Yugoslavia, Scotland, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. In memory of Barney, she established the Kathleen Kohn Fetzer Family Foundation as a legacy for her family. Kathleen is survived by children John, Kathleen, Joe, Jim, Patti, Mary, Diana, Richard, Teresa and Danny; nineteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Her son Bobby died in 2006 in a river rafting accident. A lover of dogs, she owned several apricot poodles over the years, all of whom she named Pierre. "I hope the lessons I learned from my Minnesota upbringing, as well as the experiences and hardships that Barney and I endured, all of which helped to mold our children, will continue to the next generation," she stated in her biography, Kathleen's Vineyard. "That is my fondest wish and true legacy for the Fetzer family." A Rosary will be held on Thursday, Sept. 23rd at 7:00 p.m. at the Eversole Mortuary, visitation will begin at 3:00 p.m. A Funeral Mass will take place Friday, Sept. 24th at 1:00 p.m., at St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church in Ukiah.

Robert Clawson Bingham Passed away September 10, 2010 at his home in Orinda, California, after a valiant struggle with melanoma. Bob was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose warmth and sincerity touched all who had the pleasure to know him. Bob was born in Cleveland, Ohio on March 19, 1930. A graduate of Miami University in 1952 and a past president of Sigma Nu fraternity, Bob entered the US Navy as a LTJG, stationed at North Island Naval Air Station in Coronado, California. Bob attended Hastings Law School in San Francisco and in 1957, he began his career in real estate at Coldwell Banker in San Francisco followed by a partnership with Reynolds & Brown in 1983, in Concord, California. According to Betsy Selby, soon to become his future wife, he earned his summer pocket money by teaching water skiing at Sunnyside Lodge at Lake Tahoe without ever getting his toes wet. Bob and Betsy, along with their family and friends, spent many wonderful summer days at Lake Tahoe over the course of their 52 year marriage. Bob was a man who loved life; he was a real "people" person. He loved his family, his extended community of friends and his world travels. He particularly cherished the times he spent with his Totem In campmates ruminating around the campfire at the Grove. He was known there, and everywhere, for his easy camaraderie, his engaging smile, and his good nature. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Selby Bingham; his daughters, Loyd Hutchins, Daisy Helman, and Page Bingham; and his four grandchildren, Samuel Hutchins, Robert Hutchins, Beatrice Helman and Wilson Helman. A memorial service will take place at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco on September 24 at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to: The Melanoma Center at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, attention: Patty Brent, 10 Brookline Place West, 6 Floor, Brookline, MA, 02445 and The California Pacific Medical Center Clinical Trials Fund. Contact Barbara Lowe 415-600-2769. |
He lived, loved, laughed, and taught us how to do all three by example. Though his life spanned 82 years, from June 17, 1928 - September 15, 2010, his thirst for knowledge led him through more than one lifetime of adventures. Bob met the love of his life, Frances, his "Doll", in Eureka in 1956 and she said "I do" only after he asked her seven times. They raised four curious and rambunctious boys together. Bob was many things to many people: leader, father, husband, Christian, plumber, nature-lover, diver, builder, gardener, fisherman extraordinaire, philanthropist, and hard worker. Those who knew Bob well also describe him as a storyteller, wise owl, giving tree, teacher, comedian, encyclopedia, explorer, and a lion among men. He traveled the Pacific building schools, churches and medical clinics while including his family on the expeditions. Among the places he visited and left his indelible mark were: Saipan, Palau, Pohnpei, Majuro, and Guam. He had the magical ability to slow down and live life at the speed of nature. Bob was the kind of husband who told everyone he met, "If you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world, tell her I love her," which always made his Doll smile; the kind of father who provided opportunities for his sons; the kind of grandfather who would let his grandchildren play with the precious artifacts that he kept in his "museum"; the kind of brother who shared equally the benefits, while shouldering the responsibilities with Dick and Russ. His legacy lives on through his wife, Frances; his sons, Robert Jr., Jamen, Gregory and Matthew; his grandchildren, Julie, Robert III, Jamen, Frances, Matthew, Lorraine, Johnathon and Ridge; and his great-grandchildren, Trinity, Rachel and Kira. His family and friends are invited to a celebration of his life in his rose garden at home on Sunday, September 26, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. |
