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.

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.

She could often be seen at her local Wal-Mart, Burger King and riding the city bus with Bible in hand, dressed in her Sunday best, letting her light for Christ shine. She greeted everyone with a smile and one of her many terms of endearment, such as "honey" and "sweetheart." She also never left a scene without extending her loving salutation, "God bless you, honey." Though she never really held a position in formal employment, to her credit as a full-time mom, she raised five daughters, bringing them up in the Lord, having lost none to the trappings of the world as she firmly believed and held strong to the word of her God. Her legacy and testimony will forever be proof positive that when you "train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart form it." Proverbs 22:6., Lela was a soldier in the army of the Lord and on September 15th two thousand and ten, she laid down her sword to study war no more and is now gone home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, leaving to cherish her memory, her five loving daughters and son-in-laws, Eva and Robert Sterling, Lorraine and Raymond Gulley, Mary and Said Aden, Barbara and Kenneth Samuels, and Denise and Donavan McKendell.

Robert Clawson Bingham Passed away September 10, 2010 at his home in Orinda, California, after a valiant struggle with melanoma.

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.

Robert Davies Simpson Jr, 88, took the hand of Jesus on September 19, 2010 while surrounded by his loving family at his home. Born to Robert Davies Simpson and Bertha Hall Simpson on May 28, 1922 he grew up in Bridgeport with his siblings Tom, Esther, Bill, Barbara and Sally. A veteran of, , he served with the U.S., from 1943 to 1946 as a large motor mechanic. After returning home from overseas he met and courted Margaret Tanner where they worked at Underwood. They married on July 24, 1948 and moved to Bethel with their young family in 1963 and into what is still the family homestead. Devoted husband to his loving wife Margaret of 62 years, he was the original "S" of S&S Electric of Bethel until he "really" retired (following several false starts) at the age of 82 years. Known to most as Bob, he loved his children and grandchildren, his beautiful flower gardens, caring for his home, riding his motorcycles, and was always there to help a friend, neighbor, or anyone whenever someone was in need of assistance. He was infamous in his latter years for his sense of humor, as most who came in contact with him- even his Hospice and oncology nurses - can attest.

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. |

Wynema Baird March 23, 1928-Sept 1, 2010 To our dear friends and family, Thank you for your kind condolences, cards and flowers. We have been so touched by your care. Mother passed peacefully in her home and into the presence of her Lord and Savior on Sept.1, 2010 at 10:48 pm surrounded by her children and grandchildren. The day of her departure she openly prayed and blessed each of her family members. Yes , she was weak and frail but her spirit was strong. Mother was a homemaker for 60 years. She loved beautiful flowers, traveling, sewing, knitting, and always had her favorite pets near. She was quite adventurous taking a ride in an eighteen wheeler for her 81st birthday. Just this summer she was four wheeling with her sister in Ok. One of ten siblings you can imagine the adventure! Check her out on her granddaughter Charae Sand's Facebook. It's priceless. Eating out was another favorite pastime and Monday mornings were special. Always colorful with her many scarves and neck warmers, she loved to dress! She and dad have served in many churches over the years and still loved by many who approach us daily. Wynema is survived by her husband of 62 years, Charles Baird of "Baird's TV", sister Charlene Norton of Comanche Ok. Two brothers Bill Cooksey and Charles Cooksey of Duncan Ok. daughter Charlema Stevens of Marshall TX. and son Ronald Baird of Lompoc Ca. She has eight grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Her favorite scripture Isa. 54:17 states, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper"..... and knowing the Lord made even her death a victory: The family chose to gather at home and share our memories of mom, each having something of hers to cherish. Most of all, her legacy of faith which she imparted to us all. May we say on her behalf, celebrate life! Be adventurous, use your pretty dishes, and most of all TELL your loved ones you love them. Hug somebody today, touch them with your love. That's what mother would have done.... Love to you all. |
