CELEBRATON OF LIFE Please Join Us For A Celebration of Life Honoring |
Claire Lerma After a brave battle with ovarian cancer, Claire made her transition quietly, softly and with grace on September 17th, 2010. Walking many paths during her time on this planet, she knew she was truly a child of God. Never satisfied with the status quo, Claire sought to better herself in whatever way she could. She truly was an emotional rags to riches story. Her childhood left a great deal to be desired, but she refused to fall prey to it. She always knew there was a better way to live, and focused on happiness, grace, dignity, and forgiveness, both of self and of others. Claire came to know herself well with the help of many teachers, for whom she remained grateful. The poem "IF" by Rudyard Kipling inspired her to keep her head about her in spite of the circumstances. She desired that her life would continue to influence friends and loved ones to be compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental and loving without conditions. Her wish for us now is that we all simply love. Traveling whenever she could, Claire especially loved to be on the water. She embraced being on an elegant cruise ship, watching the full moon dance on the ocean. Traveling through life she kept herself in forward motion, often challenging injustice. She accepted life on her own terms. Believing in total honesty she would say, "My life is an open book; what you see is what you get." Claire wished that you now be surrounded by her spirit. She said, "Call out to me, and I will respond to you, support you and love you." She sends blessing to all her friends and family. Blessings to Carlos Lerma, her wonderful mate, his mother, Lina, his sisters, Irma and Olga, his brother, Jorge. And blessings to their spouses and families. Blessings to her brother, Jon, her sisters, Mary, Sylvia, Peggy and Jane, and their spouses and families. She now joins her brothers, Tony and Larry in spirit. And to her corporate family, the Fireman's Fund team, who she shared a great deal, she sends blessings. "Mostly," Claire said, "I bless myself for my courage, dignity, patience and persistence. Finally, I can truly say, well done, Claire, well done." |

went to be with her Lord and Savior on a Glorious Fall morning at home in Willow Creek Saturday, September 25, 2010. Frances was born in Patoka, Illinois Saturday, February 16, 1929 to Benjamin Franklin Jr. "Frank" & Carol Christine (Cox) Elifritz at the beginning of the Great Depression. In the first couple of years of Frances' life she and her mother lived for a time on the farm in Patoka with her mother's parents Charles and Agnes (Simcox) Cox while her father worked in St. Louis in a restaurant often visited by the St. Louis Cardinals. While living in Patoka Frances was loved and spoiled by her two Grandmothers, Agnes Cox and Lena (Brokelmeyer) Elifritz. For her father to maintain employment in the oil fields it was necessary for the family to leave Patoka. She lived in Norris City, IL for a time and later moved to Albion, IL where Frances finished High School. After High School she attended Business College in Evansville, Indiana. Returning to Albion she met her future husband Albert "Al" Hodgson. Al & Frances were married August 26, 1949 at the Edwards County Fair in Albion, IL. In 1952 they moved out to California where most of Al's family was currently living. For a short time they lived in Santa Rosa eventually ending up in the Eureka/ Arcata area of Humboldt County. In 1954 Frances experienced her first earthquake. After the birth of their first son, Mike, they decided to build a house on property given to them by Al's parents on the Hodgson Ranch in the Willow Creek area. About the time of the birth of their second son, Mark, they we're in the process of opening their new store Willow Creek Varity. Frances operated the store while Al worked as a millwright for Carolina Cal, a local plywood mill near Salyer. Around 1960 they moved the store across the street (Hwy 299) to a larger building. From that point forward Al & Frances operated the store full time together. The store was flooded with 4 to 6 inches of water and mud in the 1964/65 flood due to a creek overflowing its banks and the mountain behind the store siding down up against the back of the building. Life changed quickly for the young family as electrical power was out for weeks and the new home was entirely electric with the exception of a wood fireplace in the living room. The family lived in the living room until power was finally restored. Frances cooked all the family means in the fireplace using a cast iron Dutch oven. Shortly after the flood property was obtained on the west end of Willow Creek on the north side of Hwy 299. A new much larger building was built to accommodate the growth of the store. In the mid-eighties the building was remodeled and a new section added to enlarge the store to the building you see today now home to the Willow Creek Family Health Center. The store was renamed at the time of the remodeling to Hodgson's of Willow Creek and became a Ben Franklin franchise store allowing Al & Frances to carry an extended line of merchandise. The store was a big part of Frances' life. While she took pride in the entire store there were two departments that she enjoyed most, Women's Clothing and the Arts and Crafts. Frances and Ginger Burchard would travel out of the area on buying trips each year to purchase new lines of clothing for the store. Always attempting to find and purchase fashionable women's clothing. The store had many hard to find items and customers came from all around the Klamath-Trinity Valley Area to shop. Many customers came from the coast often times commenting that the store carried merchandise that was hard to find elsewhere. Over the years there were many wonderfully talented and loyal employees two of which were Virginia North and Ginger Burchard. Virginia and Ginger worked for Al & Frances for many years and stayed with them right up till the end when the store was closed at the end of the year in 1995. Another big part of Frances' life was her church. She was a member of the Willow Creek Bible Church and was involved in many church related activities such as Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and Christian Women's Club. Frances often times would pickup or make arranges for kids to come to Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. In the days since Frances' passing the family has heard many wonderful stories of how Frances touched their lives. Frances was also involved in Soroptimist International and the Willow Creek Fire Bells. She was one of the original organizers of the annual Bigfoot Daze celebration and generally active in her community.

Herb Richards, 98, founder of the Rotten Robbie gas station chain, died Aug. 29, 2010. |
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" |

She enjoyed sewing, and crafting, but what she really loved was spending time with family. She will be greatly missed.

Joseph Ehrlich, Resident of Palo Alto, Long regarded as one of the pioneering "Silicon Valley" architects, passed away on September 21, 2010 at age 90., This exceptional husband, father, war hero, architect, humanitarian, philanthropist, and mentor will be remembered for his contributions to his family, his country, his profession, and by all whose lives he touched during his illustrious life., Joe was born and raised in Manhattan, New York City, to a working-class family. He spent his formative years during the Great Depression which, by his own admission, challenged him to never experience anything like it again., An exceptional student against the odds, Joe graduated from City College of New York in 1941. Later that same year, he met and married his lifelong love, Miriam Kantorovich (better known as Meri)., By the end of 1943, with the United States fully involved in, , Joe was inducted into the Army and soon thereafter served on the battlefields of the Alsace-Lorraine region in Europe., Joe's active wartime service was cut short in late 1944 by a wound from a landmine just prior to the Battle Of The Bulge. Not only did his injury earn him the, , but his subsequent, insistent warnings that his company stay clear of the minefields - given in his role as a lead scout - also earned him the, In 1946, Joe found himself in Chicago attending Architecture School at IIT, studying under the influence of Bauhaus architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe. Four years later - without much more than ambition - Joe and Meri decided to move to California., Eventually, Joe connected with, and was mentored by Palo Alto's early, still highly-respected architect, Birge Clark, with whom he was partnered for over 10 years (as the firm became known as Clark, Stromquist, Potter & Ehrlich).

Heft left the firm in 1977., Ehrlich Rominger Architects began designing facilities so complex that there were no existing prototypes. With mega-projects for companies like Fairchild, Varian, Watkins-Johnson, and of course, Hewlett Packard, Joe forged a legacy in the world of microelectronics that ultimately led to his admission to the coveted College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects., Throughout his career, Joe was always involved with the community and his fellow architects. His involvement with the American Institute of Architects, his leadership for the Museum of American Heritage, and his generous charitable giving were ever-present., Joe never left his beloved field of Architecture. He continued to mentor, advise, and serve those around him throughout his entire life. He leaves much of himself embedded in those with whom he shared his values, sensibility, drive, and joy. A great man has left a great legacy., He is survived by his wife Meri, son Jeff, brother Jay, sister Loretta Bauer, and numerous loving nieces and nephews., No funeral or memorial services are planned, per Joe's wishes.

JOANNE IRENE NODA MONTGOMERY JUL 30, 1943 - SEP 20, 2010 Joanne Irene Noda Montgomery succumbed to cancer on Monday Sept. 20, 2010 while living at a residential board and care home in Los Angeles, California known as My Mother's Place.'' She was surrounded by her loving family. Her long battle against the disease since it was first diagnosed in 2007 made the difference in allowing her to know all of her grandchildren, three of the four of which were all born during the span of this most personal struggle. She endured radiation, chemotherapy and major surgery to achieve this inspiring accomplishment. Joanne was born to William and Esther Noda on July 30, 1943 at the hospital for the Tule Lake Relocation Camp while experiencing the wrongful internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII. She was one of thousands of natively born American citizens of Japanese ancestory who suffered this injustice and finally received a formal apology from the Government of the United States along with the passing of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. After the family's release after the war in 1945 she was raised in Turlock where her parents owned and operated a small grocery store. Joanne attended the local elementary schools and was a 1961 graduate of Turlock High School. She also attended Modesto Junior College. One of her greatest achievements was returning to and completing her education with a Bachelors Degree in Real Estate from California State University Sacramento which allowed her to become a licensed real estate broker. For more than a decade she attended school at night on top of her full time career as a federal civil servant. Joanne sang and played the piano as well as danced along with her sister Carol in the June Jane Ripley dance school during grammar and high school. She was a lover of art, theatre and music, and very much enjoyed a tradition of annual vacations with her family to Maui. She was married to now retired Air Force Officer Major George M. Montgomery Jr. from 1964-1976. Together they lived in Alaska, California, Texas, Ohio and New Hampshire. Later in life she as well endeared a long partnership with her great friend and final significant other George Hamano who passed away in May of 2009. Joanne spent over 30 years working for the federal government and retired in 2002. During her career she achieved countless commendations and recognition from her co-workers and superiors, while working for a wide range of federal agencies. She completed her time with the US government as an underwriter for The Federal Bureau of Housing and Urban Development. During her retirement years she passionately pursued a second career in market research for her family's small television graphic design business. She is survived by her mother, Esther Noda-Toyoda, two married sons, George M. Montgomery III and his wife Linh, and Joe Daniels and his wife Aubrey, as well as her two sisters Carol and Debbie Noda, step-brother Jon R. Toyoda and step-sister Candice Marks. She has four grandchildren, George and Lauren Montgomery, Alexander and Nicholas Daniels, nephew William Patten.

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.

JONATHAN C. SANCHEZ MAY 30, 1987 - SEP 24, 2010 Jonathan Christopher Sanchez, beloved son, brother, mentor, and friend, was called to heaven on September 24, 2010. He was born in Turlock where he lived with his family and made countless friends. He is survived by his parents, Balberto and Natalie Sanchez; siblings, Joseph, Bianca, and Eryk Sanchez; grandparents, Jose Cruz and Hijinia Maldonado, and Balberto and Carmen Sanchez, all of Turlock; as well as countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ.As a young child, Jonathan had an infectiously warm smile and a kind, generous heart, qualities that he continued to display as a young adult. He, with his family, was a member of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Turlock, where Jonathan developed at a very early age a deep love for Christ and desire to serve the Church. After graduating from Turlock High School, and completing one year of college, Jonathan joined NET ministries based in St. Paul, MN and spent a year traveling the country bringing the Catholic faith to teens and young people. Back home in Turlock, he served Christ every day, as a Core Team member for Life Teen, a member of the Young Adult Teams of our Lady, a founder and leader of ARMEE ministries, and a light to everyone around him. Jonathan never missed an opportunity to give of himself to others. He did God's work always, and loved all others in His name. He humbly allowed his own life to serve as a reminder to others that we must always strive toward holiness. All those who loved him and knew him will miss him dearly. We will miss the sound of sweet music coming from his guitar, his warm embrace, his infectious smile, his listening ear, and his helping heart. But it seems his work here was done. Jesus and our Blessed Mother have called Jonathan home. Saint Jonathan Christopher Sanchez, please pray for us now. Visitation will be Thursday, 9/30 from 5-7pm with Rosary following at 7pm at Turlock Funeral Home Chapel. Funeral Service will be Friday 10/01 at 10am at Our Lady of Assumption Church.

died on her 93rd birthday, September 25, 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida after a long period of declining health. Mrs. Pratt was born at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, on September 25, 1917, to Major Edwin Vose Sumner III and Helen Munn Sumner. Following the untimely death of her father in France at the close of World War I, Mrs. Pratt, her mother, and her brother moved to Louisville, Kentucky and lived for a number of years in Mrs. Sumner's childhood home, surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. As a child, Mrs. Pratt lived for a time in post-war Italy, where she became fluent in Italian. Following her graduation from high school, Mrs. Pratt moved to New York City to become a ballet dancer, joined the American Ballet, and also danced in a number of musical Broadway shows in New York and elsewhere. By the age of 21, realizing that ballet was not her lifelong calling, Mrs. Pratt became an officer in the newly-formed Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), thereby being the first woman to follow in the long tradition of Sumner Army Officers. The then Captain Sumner met her future husband, career Army officer, then-Major Charles Henry Pratt, when both were stationed in St. Augustine, Florida during World War II. Following a six-week romance, they began their 61-year marriage, which ended with Colonel Pratt's demise at the age of 92 in Claremont, California in 2003. During their military life together, the Pratts and their four children live in Washington, D.C., Paris, France and Quito, Ecuador. Mrs. Pratt became fluent in both Spanish and French. Following Colonel Pratt's retirement in 1965, the couple lived variously in Prescott, Lake Havasu City, and Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2002, they made their final move together to reside at Sunrise Assisted Living of Claremont, California. Mrs. Pratt moved to Jacksonville in March 2010 to be closer to one of her daughters, granddaughters, and great-grandchildren, and had been residing at Sunrise of Jacksonville prior to her death. Wherever she went, Mrs. Pratt became well-known, respected, and loved for her elegant manners, gentle disposition, and unending concern for the wellbeing of others. She was ever the gracious hostess as well as a talented painter, seamstress, knitter, and needlepoint artist. Mrs. Pratt loved reading , crossword puzzles, gardening, traveling the Arizona back roads, community volunteerism, community theater, local and national politics, studying the history of the American Civil War, attending symphonies, taking evening walks, and writing frequent long-hand letters to her family and friends. Mrs. Pratt was predeceased by her mother and father, husband, and daughter Marie Pratt Buchanan. She is survived by her brother Edwin Vose Sumner IV of Fountain Valley, California, daughters Judith Sumner Pratt of Jacksonville, Florida and Sarah Pratt Jamison of Harker Heights, Texas, and her son Thomas Sumner Pratt of Sacramento, California. Additional survivors include her grandchildren Sarah Marie Johnston (Tom Gray), Ann, Kate, and Jennifer Jamison, Helen Skelton, Charlotte and Harlan Buchanan, and Zach Pratt, several great-grandchildren, and her beloved California caregiver, Femy Canlas. Despite being increasingly incapacitated by Alzheimer's, Mrs. Pratt relished her friendships with the staff, management, and fellow-residents at Sunrise of Jacksonville, all of whom enriched the final months of her life beyond measure.

When Donna was born, Maureen was 17 years old. Donna wasn't expected to live as she weighed only 3 lbs. at birth, but Maureen kept her in a little fruit basket and a light bulb to keep her warm and took over complete care of her night and day for weeks. Well,Donna survived and as Donna grew up, as a toddler, she couldn't pronounce ''Maureen'', so therefore her nickname became Neenie'' and it stuck throughout the years. This is a note from Donna to Maureen: My Dear Sweet Neenie, So many memories and so many phone calls every day, what a wonderful blessing the Lord gave us, to be able to talk to each other several times each day for years. Now'' the phone is quiet and there are only memories - such sweet memories of you. You loved life, little children and your family and also Joey, who had a special place in your heart. I feel sad today, but knowing that you believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior gives me comfort. Acts. 16-31 and John 3:16. I love you and miss you so much, but I'll see you again on that great ''Resurrection Day''. I will love you forever - your sister, Donna. Another sister, Janis reminds us of her playing her Theater Organ and she was so good at it. Maureen lived alone in her apartment and was very independent until just before she became ill. She loved dancing and baking. She was so pretty and at about 17 years old, she entered a Beauty Contest and won first runner up. Another sister Rita said Maureen helped their mom and dad in their restaurant business and later on in her life, she owned her own restaurants. Her dream was to be a star on stage in Hollywood, but she gave up that dream to have a family. Her wardrobe was ''Spectacular''. She was knownas Miss Fashion''. Maureen was also an L.V.N. (nurse) for about 10 years in Michigan. She was a great mother to her three children. We have so many wonderful memories growing up with her. Our Proms'', our ''first Dates'', etc. Thanks Mom for the great memories. You will be in our hearts and minds forever.

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 J. Patterson San Francisco Philanthropist and Investor, Dies at Age 48 William J. Patterson, a prominent San Francisco investor and philanthropist who led the effort to revitalize the California Academy of Sciences, died on Friday, September 24, 2010 at age 48 surrounded by his wife, Elizabeth, and their three children. The cause of death was a brain tumor. Mr. Patterson's unwavering commitment to making a difference in the world was illuminated by his community leadership, his environmentally focused philanthropy, and the building of a highly successful investment partnership. His intellectual gifts and his ability to lead others towards positive change were reflected in his active involvement with a wide variety of local and national organizations. From a young age, Mr. Patterson displayed a natural talent for leadership and excellence. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Patterson spent his childhood in Grand Junction, Colorado, where he developed his reverence for the outdoors that led to his becoming an avid sportsman and environmentalist. Mr. Patterson went on to attend Harvard College, graduating magna cum laude in 1984. In his senior year at Harvard he was Co-Captain of the Varsity Lightweight Crew and President of the A.D. Club. After graduating, he studied economics for one year at Australia National University in Canberra, Australia as a Rotary Foundation Scholar. After working for Goldman, Sachs & Co., he attended the Stanford Graduate School of Business, graduating as an Arjay Miller Scholar in 1989. Mr. Patterson was named a Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute in 2004. Upon graduating Stanford, Mr. Patterson went to work with John H. Scully and William E. Oberndorf. In 1991 they founded SPO Partners & Co., which has become one of the nation's leading investment partnerships. During his tenure, Mr. Patterson helped lead a number of extremely successful investments and the firm's assets grew from a modest $40 million to over $8 billion. At the time of his death, he served as a Managing Director of SPO Partners, Chairman of the Board of Calpine Corporation and was a director of Rosewood Hotels and Resorts. Mr. Patterson was a former board member of the Plum Creek Timber Company, where he played an instrumental role in the repositioning and growth of that business. "Bill's extraordinary intelligence, confidence and leadership permeated SPO Partners & Co. from the first day he joined us," said John H. Scully. "His passion for excellence and hard work coupled with his warmth and core humanitarian instincts made him truly inspirational to the many he touched. He is, simply stated, irreplaceable." As Chair of the Board of Trustees of the California Academy of Sciences, Mr. Patterson led the revitalization of this nationally known institution. His leadership helped the Academy complete its $500 million capital campaign last year to build its widely praised new home in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and greatly expand its environmentally based education programs. "Bill radiated a kind of incandescent presence and an irrepressible optimism that energized all those who worked with him," said Gregory C. Farrington, the Academy's Executive Director. "At the Academy, as in all aspects of his life, he wasn't just doing a job. He was expressing a passion. It showed." As a former trustee and board president of the Bay Area Discovery Museum, Mr. Patterson was keenly involved in a major capital campaign to expand and further develop this institution, which has become nationally acclaimed as a leading children's museum. Mr. Patterson also chaired the Stanford Business School Trust, served as a member of the Advisory Council for the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford, and with his wife, Elizabeth, he endowed a professorship in the field of energy and the environment at Harvard College. Mr. Patterson's extensive community involvement also included serving as chair of the investment committee of the Marin Community Foundation, a committee member and supporter of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and wide ranging charitable support for numerous non-profit organizations. He was a devoted husband, father, son, brother and partner, who vastly touched so many with his warmth, generosity of spirit, and zest for living. Mr. Patterson was an avid runner, collected wine, kept bees, and embraced remote travel and discovery to continually learn about the world around him. In addition to his wife of 23 years, Mr. Patterson is survived by his children, William, Eleanor and Graham. He is also survived by his mother, Joan T. McNab of Aspen, Colorado, his father, Dr. William R. Patterson of Grand Junction, Colorado and his siblings Robin J. Blackwood of Bozeman, Montana and Thomas A. Patterson of Portola Valley, California. A memorial service will be announced at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Mr. Patterson's name to either the California Academy of Sciences or a charitable organization of their choice.

William Marvin White Resident of Redwood City In Memory Aka Bill, Billy, Whitey May 9, 1941 - Sept. 28, 2009 Bill was born in San Francisco CA, to parents LeBoyd and Dorothy White. Bill was a brother, uncle and our friend. Bill never married nor had children, so we all became his family. It was a sad day when his brother spread the news to us that Bill had succumbed to the cancer he fought so valiantly for nearly half his life. By his own choice he spent his final days at the Veterans Hospital. Bill like his father before him was a proud Marine. Then Bill you were just gone, so today on the anniversary of your taking your long last ride your friends and neighbors lovingly acknowledge that you were here, and you were special to us. Bill spent most of his years in Redwood City, where he attended grammar school, and Sequoia High School. One of the last things on his bucket list was to be a guest at the 50th reunion of the class of '59. Sadly it was not to be, but he was there in spirit. Bill loved restoring old cars, trucks, and his Harley. He loved good music and could he dance! He could keep you laughing with his antics, and make you so mad with others. Lastly, he loved the dogs he had over his lifetime that were his constant companions. He was a consummate sheet metal professional, owning and working for several shops in the area. Billy you are missed at our motorcycle rides, breakfasts, lunches and of course trying to keep your neighbors on their toes. So Bill, taking license with a song you liked," Billy, Billy, You were a friend of ours, are you walking tall, are you sitting PROUD there in heaven, have all your final wishes come true?" P.S. the plane still waits. |
