Frances Kaplan was born on May 10, 1916 in a small town in Poland. She came to the United States when she was four years old. Frances passed away peacefully in Santa Rosa on September 12, 2010 at the age of ninety-four. Frances's parents were Oser and Esther Strauss. She had two brothers, Irv and Simon, both deceased. Frances lived most of her life in Cleveland, Ohio, and had a wonderful marriage to Samuel Kaplan, who sadly passed away in 1961. Despite this terrible loss, Frances on her own made a good life for herself and her family. Frances moved to Plantation, Florida in the late 1960s and successfully managed her affairs well enough to purchase a home there and maintain a comfortable existence. But her family, now living in the San Francisco area, missed her, and finally convinced her to move to Santa Rosa, near to where they lived. For most of a ten year period Frances maintained her health, allowing her family to enjoy having her with them. Frances always had a youthful outlook on life. Her great appreciation of nature and the arts kept her vibrant into her 90s. Frances was a very generous person, not only with her family but in support of many Jewish causes. She could always be counted on to help out when the need arose. Frances is survived by three children, two sons Mort Kaplan, currently living in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Ray Kaplan, who lives in Sonoma County. Her married daughter, Sara Schulist, lives in Marin County. Frances has a granddaughter, Stacy Schulist, and grandson, Michael Schulist, both of whom live in the Bay Area. Her great grandsons are Mark Schulist and Miles Schulist. Frances was a caring individual and loving mother. We shall miss her always. The family requests that any donations to honor Frances' life be made to the Friendship Circle c/o The Jewish Community Center of Sonoma County, 1301 Farmers Lane, Santa Rosa, CA (707) 528-4222. |

Herbert C. Rafetto III, 58, passed away suddenly on September 9, 2010. A 16-year resident of Palm Springs, he was known extensively throughout the community, and his passing was a shock to us all. Herb was born July 25, 1952 in Lowell, Mass., the son of Herbert C. Jr. and Jean E. Rafetto. A 1970 graduate of Kittanning Senior High School, he received his BS from the University of Denver in Hotel Restaurant Management in 1974. Herb then went on to a 25-year career for the Hyatt Hotel Organization, culminating in General Manager positions at both the Hyatt Hotel in Carmel, and our own Hyatt Hotel in downtown Palm Springs. During that time, Herb built relationships that have lasted through the years. He was President of the Palm Springs Tourism Board from 1992-1995 and a board member of the Chamber of Commerce (1992-1996). As a leader in the Hotel Industry he frequently spoke at City Council meetings representing the Palm Springs Hospitality Industry. Whether a room attendant, City Council Member, or a General Manager, it was easy to appreciate and remember Herb's easy manner and charm, and the warm attention he paid to the people in his life. After his career in Hotel Management, Herb applied his talents to Retail Management, leading two upscale clothing outlets to record sales; and then he focused on vacation sales, where he was awarded four top sales honors. Just a few years ago he was lucky enough to meet Susan, and for the last nine years she made him perhaps as happy as he had ever been. No one knows better than she the passion Herb always held for music. Although he had a wide range of taste, he was, in his heart, an avid Dead Head and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the Grateful Dead's music. Any visit to his home included personal sing-a-longs to their greatest hits. Finally, though, his dream was to perform; and he set out on that journey with a banjo, a good friend, Dan Regeimbal. His dream came true when they performed at a major hotel weeks before his death, and once again around a campfire with friends the night before he left us. For him, if he had to leave, the timing couldn't have been better, for those of us who knew and loved him, there could never be a good time for him to leave. He will be missed immensely. Knowing Herb, though, he is probably somewhere playing his banjo with Jerry Garcia, sipping on a single-malt, and laughing-it's certain that he is laughing. Herbert C. Rafetto III is survived by his wife, Susan; his daughter, Natalie, whom he loved dearly; his step-son, Brandon; his parents; his sisters, Sue Morgan, Marti Kubatko, and Judy Jack; numerous nieces and nephews; his friends too numerous to mention; and his dog, Jerry. A memorial gathering will be held in October with close friends where, according to his wishes, they can all tell funny stories about Herb. "Ramble on Herbie, settle down easy" |

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 & Javier Gomez, John & Heather Morello, Joe Morello & 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.

12/14/1931 – 09/21/2010 Rocky was born on December 14, 1931 to Oregon pioneer descendents, John and Myrtle Gill in Lebanon, Oregon. He was a happy surprise when he arrived to join his siblings, Donna and Warren, who were about 20 years his senior. They enjoyed an especially close relationship with each other throughout their respective lives. He spent many summers hunting, fishing and horse camping with his father. He had a beautiful voice and loved singing with his mother and her sister in the church choir. He attended school in Lebanon, where he met the love of his life, Jane Slocum, at the tender age of 16. At University of Oregon, he joined the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, served as President, and made many dear lifelong friends. After graduating at the top of his class from UO Law School, he married Jane in June, 1954. They began their life together with a tour of Europe, sparking a life long love of travel and adventure. He was a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force and served as a JAG at Sandia Base, NM. Upon discharge, he returned to his beloved Oregon and joined Souther, Spaulding, Wyatt, Moore, and Roberts in Portland, which later became Schwabe Williamson. He specialized in energy law, became a managing partner and retired after more than 30 years with the firm. He was an active member of the University Club of Portland. An avid skier and outdoorsman, he followed his passions around the world with his lovely Jane at his side. They skied the Alps, rode horseback through Kenya, visited palaces and museums throughout India, China and Russia. He fished the rivers of South America and floated rivers all over the Northwest with family and treasured friends. Despite his worldly experiences, he remained an unpretentious man with a wry sense of humor and generous spirit. He slipped away peacefully in his Bend home surrounded by his four children, Leslie, John, Suzanne (King) and Carey (Joseph). He was preceded in death by his darling Jane but left a legacy of 10 adoring grandchildren who will miss him sorely.

Leo John Becnel, OD died September 17, 2010 while working on our Becnel Family Vineyards, the place he loved most. That fateful day changed our lives forever.

He gave us unconditional love. A founding member of North Coast Bank, a lifetime Lion's Club member along with a host of other service and professional organizations, his involvement in the community was a natural extension of his optometry practice.

Died quietly Friday, August 27, 2010, in Santa Rosa, while watching a tennis match with his oldest daughter Beverly, thus carrying to the last moments of his life a love of sports that can be traced to his earliest childhood. At one point, his father, Owen Sr. was a sportswriter for the Los Angeles Times, who compared the USC Methodists to Trojans, thereby handing them the name they still carry. Owen Jr. was born January 27, 1921, at the old Methodist Hospital on Hope Street, LA. He was irritated all his life by the mindless cliche "nobody is from LA." There seemed nothing unusual about his birth to him. He and his sister Eunice were true children of Jazz Age Los Angeles. Their socially well-connected parents threw lively parties, and lived in various neighborhoods in LA. Bud, as Owen, Jr. was known half his life, has unique memories of LA in that era: the silent film star Antonio Moreno, a neighbor who befriended the six-year-old boy, cardboard-box sled rides down the grassy slopes of the undeveloped Micheltorena Hill; war stories from his father, a veteran of the Western Front and the 1916 campaign in Mexico, and a gifted dog named Don, a vicious killer of anything it could catch but an adored friend to little Bud. He attended John Marshall High School in Los Feliz, class of '38. Playing football at Marshall created a lifetime passion for the game. After graduation he found employment at Haas-Baruch wholesale grocers, fell in love with Virginia Keech of Long Beach, and in a strange accident of timing that forever after made it easy to remember their anniversary, drove to Las Vegas in 1941 to be married the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Spending three years in the Navy, he relished his position as Chief machinist on a landing craft. In 1946 he returned to his wife and daughters Beverly and Patricia. Owen and Virginia settled into the classic 50s life and had two more children, Laurance in 1951 and Ian in 1952, bought a "ranch house" in east Long Beach, and he found employment with North American Aviation. During his career there he was most proud of his work as a project engineer on the historic Apollo Space Missions. Remembered for his great love affair with cars which began at an early age, he was already driving by age 12. During the 50's, he bought Jaguar roadster, in which he made a number of trips to Monterey for sports car races with the best friend of his life, his brother-in-law Dick Keech. Owen and Virginia's marriage became, in late-20th-century America, something awe-inspiring: when she died in 2006, they had celebrated their 64th anniversary. Owen was unfortunately unable to fully appreciate the wonder of that, as his mind was by that time blighted by dementia. Shy by nature, he found joy in his family and moved to Sonoma County in 2006 to join them. The highlight of his final years was the numerous country drives with family, taking in Sonoma's breathtaking beauty. He is survived by his four children, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. The family is planning a memorial bench to honor both their parents. |
Pablo A. Garcia, 71, of Coachella, Calif. passed away September 16, 2010 after a battle with cancer. He was born February 9, 1939 to Alfredo Garcia and Josefa Alva in Indio, Calif.

Pablo is survived by his daughters, Barbara Garcia, Virginia Garcia, Lillian Escobar, Rachel Stevens, Rosie Archuleta, and Diana Moreno; son, Richard Monson; and sisters, Margaret Garcia, Josie Morales, Rosemary Avina and Toni Palomares. In addition, he leaves behind 25 grandchildren. Visitation will be held Thursday, September 23, 2010 with a rosary at 7:00 PM at Casillas Family Funeral Home in Coachella. Funeral Mass will take place at 11:30 AM on September 24, 2010 at Our Lady of Soledad Church in Coachella. Burial will take place at the Coachella Valley Cemetery.

Patricia Marie Cross (Pat) passed away quietly in her La Quinta home on August 23, 2010 with her husband of 58 years, Donald G. Cross at her side. She was born August 31, 1932 to Eleanor and Walter Clasen in St. Louis, Mo. She is survived by her devoted husband and three grown sons, Donn - Nancy, Steven - Pearl, Guy - Laura. She was a loving grandmother to Kara Cross Leonard, Ryan Leonard, Dustin Cross, Gil Gonzales, Stephanie Mendoza, Gary Mendoza, Breanna Mendoza, Mia Cross, Bryan Cross and Cody Cross. She loved her role as a great grandmother (AKA "GG") to Alissa Leonard, Hannah Gonzales and Kaleb Cross McHan. She loved kids and they loved her. She loved having her "Grand dog", Trigger, for sleep overs at Grandma's house from one to ten days. Trigger loved it too. While still in high school in St. Louis Pat began a working career as Santa's helper in a major St. Louis department store. She would go on to become a model for women's clothes in the same store. Following her marriage to Don Cross on April 26, 1952 she worked for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in St. Louis. In 1955 Pat and Don left St. Louis for California where they heard the streets were "paved with gold, there were oranges on every tree" and lots of opportunity for electricians, Don's working trade. The family settled first in Covina, moved to Pomona and put down deeper roots in Claremont, Calif. in 1963. During the Claremont years Pat became very active in Republican politics becoming President of Claremont Republican women. A rapidly expanding building market with plenty of electrical work brought Pat and Don to the Coachella Valley in 1979 and they have made this their permanent home since then. Pat continued her interest in politics and joined the Palm Springs Republican Assembly. She also served as President of the Rancho Mirage Republican Women and was a founding member and officer of the East Valley Republican Women and modeled in fund raising fashion shows for the group. Her Republican involvements led to an office position with Republican congressman Alfred "Al" A. McCandless who served as a California Representative to the U. S. Congress from 1983 to 1995. Pat's dedication and attention to detail spurred McCandless to appoint her to the position of district Chief of Staff. In that role she managed the Riverside and Palm Desert Congressional Offices. She often filled in for the congressman at meetings and events, speaking for his office as the occasion required. She held that position for approximately twelve years until the congressman stepped down from office. While heading the district staff for McCandless she was treated to a VIP tour of the White House. She has personally met Presidents Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford, has toured Air Force One, the Presidential aircraft and attended Republican National Conventions, twice as a voting delegate. She was invited to join the staff of retired President Gerald Ford but graciously declined to follow other interests. Following her stint of duty with McCandless she acted as a public relations point for Browning - Ferris Industries, the second largest waste management firm in the country. She was a Director in the La Quinta Historical Society and active in the La Quinta Museum, a Director of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce, appointed to the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities by then Governor Pete Wilson. She loved NASCAR racing and even sponsored a car in the La Quinta Soap Box Derby. During a five year battle with cancer Pat never lost her positive take on life. She loved her husband Don, her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, her social and political friends. She loved the Lord and professed a strong Christian faith in Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. She loved to bake cookies for neighbors, friends and especially for her fellow cancer patients at the Eisenhower Infusion Center. In the face of brutal sessions of chemotherapy and radiation she always had a smile and words of encouragement for others walking the same path. She was widely known in the area as a positive go getter who could get any job she was given done well. Pat was at peace with crossing over. "Vaya con Dios. Till we meet again." A celebration of her life is pending. |

William Lincoln What a life! William Lincoln (Bill, Willy, Chief, and W.W) was born of Alva and Anna Marie Lincoln April 16th 1916, and lived on their homestead ranch in Ravendale, Lassen County. His childhood adventures began in Oakville on the Lincoln Ranch where he grew up farming, ranching and working for his dad at Lincoln Brother's Tractor. The adventures continued while earning a degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in Aeronautical Engineering. With a reputation of being able to fix anything, he and his buddies built their own airplane, had the privilege of servicing Amelia Earhart's airplane, and proved a chicken could fly. Upon graduation, in 1937, Willy was hired by Pan American Airways and sent to New Caledonia. Later he was transferred to Midway Island and served as Chief Mechanic. It was there he witnessed a huge fleet of ships headed toward Hawaii, and contacted Pan Am in New York who immediately contacted the White House. He received a two-word answer back, "Thank You". In 1944 he received his diploma from Pan Am as a Flight Engineer and commenced on a 35 year journey as a clipper ship pioneer. Using a sextant out the back of the plane, Willy navigated the present day routes of the commercial flight. Barbara Dempsey met Bill on Treasure Island and was married February 19th, 1944. Eighteen years and ten kids later, they bought the Lincoln Ranch. Now the adventures became 10 fold, and all things were repaired with gray tape, bailing wire, and grapes were picked. In 1976, Bill retired from Pan Am with a total of 60 trips around the world equaling an hourly log of 5 years in the air. With adventure always on the horizon, Bill started Lincoln Farm Equipment with his son Bill jr., Win Horn, and Jerry Smith. For the next thirty years Bill lived a full and adventurous life running his vineyard, traveling with friends, and telling amazing stories. His extraordinary life completed its final chapter September 22 when he died in the arms of his granddaughter on the Lincoln Ranch. He is preceded in death by his parents Alva and Anna Marie and his daughter Barby. He is survived by his sister Alita (Lincoln) Moore, his wife of 66 years Barbara Lincoln, his children Ann (Dan), Bill (Carol), Beth (Jon), Dee (Stu), Mary (Phil), John (Bev), Jim (JoAnne), David (Denise), Lynn (Kirk), 20 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren with one on the way.
