He was a baseball and football standout at North High School graduating in 1962. After high school Barry went on to play baseball at Bakersfield College. At BC he met the love of his life, Gail, and they were married in 1968. After BC he began his fire service career in 1967 with the Kern County Fire Dept., retiring in 1999. He wanted that same rural experience for his family that he had treasured in his youth, so they built a home out in the country in 1979. One of his greatest joys was being involved with his daughter's sports activities and mentoring her as she grew up. The many friendships he developed in the fire department extended beyond the station to the golf course, the great outdoors for fishing and hunting and his garage. Throughout his life he relished fabricating and building street rods and classic pickup trucks. Being an avid nature enthusiast, his favorite places to visit in their RV were the Western states, the High Sierras and the Rocky Mountains. He is survived by his wife, Gail; daughter, Brooke and husband Alian; brother, Robert and wife Susan; brother, William and wife Marilyn; his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Roberta and Jerry Zaharris.

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.

Lela Mae Hall was born on July 18, nineteen hundred and thirty seven to proud parents, Bulah Mae Philips Hall and Herbert Hall in Hope, Arkansas. She was the oldest daughter of 11 children. She had five brothers, HV, Ulacee, James, Walter, and Luther. She also had five sisters, Bertha Mae, Clara Mae, Dorothy, Willie V. and Sheila., Lela married Robert Lee Burris, the love of her life, in 1955 and had two daughters, Eva Mae and Lorraine. The couple moved to Los Angeles in 1959 where they added three more daughters to their union, Mary Louise, Barbara Jean and Denise Michelle. She was a loving and protective stay-at-home mother until her last child married n 1987, as well as a devoted wife for 33 years., Lela accepted Christ at an early age and served in various churches as a Deaconess, Choir Member, Soloist, and as a member of the Mothers Board. Lela was loved by all who knew her and will forever be remembered for her love of God and her participation in the things of the Lord. 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.
