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." |

Carol J. O''Daniels, 68, passed away after a brief battle with lung cancer Sunday morning, Sept. 26, 2010, at home in Shell Beach. Carol was a second generation Cleveland native who married into a pioneer San Luis Obispo family two years after having driven with her friend, Holly, to San Francisco from Ann Arbor, Mich. Carol was employed by the V.A. Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., before transferring to the Department of the Interior in San Francisco. She rose to personnel officer then administrative officer for the National Park Service''s GGNRA at the time it took over the Presidio. She married Pat one year after a memorable sail to Santa Cruz Island in his father, Howie O''Daniels,'' ketch "Nereid." The Cal Poly Hall of Fame coach told her not to tell his wife that she was the only girl on the boat. When Howie died in 1991, Carol retired to care for her mother-in-law, Mary, whose grandparents first farmed west of Bishop''s Peak in 1868. She and Pat took over running the family''s Circle Inn bar in Morro Bay. They remodeled the building and changed the name to Legends. For 10 years, Carol cooked and served corned beef sandwiches every St. Patrick''s Day. In 1992, they spent three weeks driving Mary and Burnetta Hughes all around Ireland. In 2004, Carol and Pat drove through Italy and took a 1920 post card to Sutera, Sicily with a photo of her great-grandfather, Ignasio Nicastro, standing in the plaza of this 500 year old hilltown. She was able to duplicate the photo with her in it because nothing had changed! With the help of the town baker, she met her aunt and cousin. In San Luis, Carol was active in Dine And Dance Club, The Monday Club, Republican Women and on the board of Santa Maria''s PCPA Theaterfest. She enjoyed her weekly round of golf at Laguna Lake with her "Duffettes." Carol is survived by her husband of 44 years, Patrick; son Sean (Diana) of San Clemente, Calif.; grandson, Shay O''Daniels; brothers Vern and Gene Jeppesen of Michigan; sister, Florene Schlegal of Columbus, Ohio; and uncle, Tom Nicastro of Lexington, Ohio. She was predeceased by her father, Vern Jeppsen; and mother, Betty (Nicastro) of Lake Jerome, Mich. A memorial service by "Father Russ," pastor at the Old Mission, will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 1, 2010, at Reis Family Mortuary, 991 Nipomo St. in San Luis Obispo. Her ashes will be interred alongside Mary''s in the family plot at Old Mission Catholic cemetery. As a longtime Cal Poly football and basketball season ticket holder, Carol would like donations in her name to go to either sport; or to the French Hospital Hearst Cancer Center. As supporter of "Katcho" for Assembly, Carol wished that she could have lived to see The Tribune print a map of the "Ribbon of Shame" - our gerrymandered 23rd Congressional district. Reis Family Mortuary 544-7400 San Luis Obispo |
Beloved Mother, Ganny, and Nannie passed away Sunday, September 19, 2010. She went to the beautiful gardens of heaven where she can now rest peacefully.

Mama loved to go pier fishing in North Carolina with her ""fishing buddy"" Eddie. Actually, she liked to fish just about anywhere as long as there were no snakes. In addition, she just loved working outside in her rose and vegetable gardens. She also loved helping Dennis in the vineyard. She loved to laugh and make you smile. She loved animals...all animals. She was just a very special lady in so many ways, but what she loved most were ""her girls"", as she referred to them and her family. If you knew her, I'm sure she touched your heart in some way. To quote one of her dear friends, ""you take a lot of love with you but you leave a lot of love behind."" So, precious Mama, we will forever hold you in our hearts and miss you very much., In lieu of flowers, please dedicate a donation to the, or Memorial Hospice of Santa Rosa, California in her name., DANIELS CHAPEL OF THE ROSES FUNERAL AND CREMATION SERVICES 525-3730 |

Surrounded by his loving family, Charles Kirkwood "Kirk" Zirion's spirit was released from his three-year long battle with ALS Friday, Sept. 10, 2010. Kirk is survived by his wife and best friend of 39 years, Pamela; two daughters: Margot and Myra; son-in-law, Bill McCarthy; two brothers: Stanley Ray (Dawn) Zirion and William Edward (Judy) Zirion; close cousins: Kathy (Terry) Vachon, Barbara (Bob) Gaydon and David Murphy; aunt, Phyllis (Bob) Strachan Ottesen; grandchildren: Alex, Emma, Will and Lucia McCarthy; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Charles Zirion and Myra Strachan Zirion, and uncle, William Strachan. Kirk, 64, was born in 1946 in Berkeley, Calif., but lived most of his youth in the Sierra foothills of Clipper Mills, Calif. When he was 19, he enlisted in the, and served four years in the, as a diesel engineer. He returned home and began his college education at Yuba College. Pam had just been hired at the local small elementary school in Challenge, Calif., and was renting a room above the family store. She was introduced to Kirk when he threw a snowball at her. They were married July 7, 1971, on the anniversary of both of their parents' weddings. Kirk and Pam eventually moved to Santa Barbara, where Pam taught elementary school and Kirk began studies at Brooks Institute of Photography where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree. Following his passion for the art, Kirk's enthusiasm for nature was able to take on a whole new significance. Always an active person. Kirk united his love for exercise (running and bicycling) with photography and learned to scuba dive for underwater photography. In 1975, Kirk and Pam moved to San Luis Obispo to open Horizon Studios, a photography studio. After the birth of their children, Kirk ferried them to the studio, babysitters and school via bicycle. Over the years, Kirk participated in many local triathlons and both Kirk and Pam became avid bicyclists as well as backpackers, an infatuation that continued their remaining years together. Later on, after closing Horizon Studios, Kirk worked at the Telegram-Tribune and Rinco Color Lab. Kirk then took classes at Cuesta College to update his mechanical skills and soon after, worked for Waste Connections for four years. Kirk was always busy with numerous projects including restoring a dilapidated 1956 Chevy truck, building and crafting tools from wood and metal, or planting and harvesting vegetables from his garden. In 2007, Kirk was diagnosed with bulbar onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Lou Gehrig's disease. An aggressive form of the disease, it affected his speech and swallowing - first atrophying the muscles of his throat that made communication and eating difficult. As the diseased progressed, he was unable to participate in as many sports as he used to, but instead made accommodations for them. He bought a recumbent bicycle for better balance and used a walking stick on hikes. Eventually, the disease took him out of the realm of exercise, mechanics and woodworking altogether. Devastating as that was, Kirk continued to be optimistic and used laughter to get through the difficult times. Kirk was a patient and thoughtful man with a tremendous sense of humor. Family was always paramount to everything else in life and he demonstrated this through example and love. It is these characteristics for which Kirk will be remembered in the hearts of all who knew him. The family would like to thank Kirk's caregivers, without whom life with ALS would have been unmanageable: The diligent, compassionate care of Ninon Atwood and earlier, Steve Maddux; the beneficial physical therapies of Michael "Conan" Balson; and the good-humored care of Sam Bedinner. The family would also like to thank our special friend, Justin Dickerson, and the SLO Bicycle Club for their continued support and friendship, specifically Kathy Cohon, Ross Pepper (who organized the race car outing), Terry Heller, Jacque Wheeler and Dorothy Curhan, who came and read to Kirk every weekday for over a year. Their perseverance and attentiveness helped Kirk and Pam so much. The family would also like to acknowledge the diligence and care given to Kirk by Best Care Home Health and Hospice Partners of the Central Coast. A memorial celebration of Kirk's life will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8, 2010, at the Dallidet Adobe, 1185 Pacific St. in San Luis Obispo. Donations in Kirk's name may be made to SLOBC for a memorial bicycle rack, or to the ALS Association. Send Condolences at |

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. Frances is survived by her husband of 61 years Albert Eugene Hodgson, her son, Michael Hodgson and his wife Susan of Saratoga and their two children Nickisa and Kevin. She is also survived by her son Mark Hodgson of McKinleyville, her brother's children Patrick Elifritz of Bokoshe, OK; Cathy Warren of Red Bluff, CA and her children Phillip, Michael, Kelly and Cameron; Kelly Marshall and her husband Carson of Oklahoma City, OK and daughters Tina and Amber and their son Carson III; and John Elifritz of Fulton MO. Frances loved Mike's wife Susan as the daughter she never had. She very much loved her granddaughter Nickisa and her grandson Kevin. All of them had a very special place in her heart. Frances' brother Jim died at the early age of 37 from complications related to an accident on an oil rig several years earlier. This death left 4 young children without a father who needed their daddy very much. While Frances couldn't replace their Father she showed them love and devotion and tried to be part of their lives whenever possible. She loved each and every one of them and their children as well who were more like Frances' grandchildren than nesses and nephews. Frances was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was preceded in death by her parents Frank & Christine Elifritz; her sister Thea Mae Elifritz who only lived 16 days and her brother James Phillip "Jim" Elifritz. Funeral Services will be held at the Willow Creek Bible Church Thursday, September 30th at 3 PM. Grave site services will follow immediately afterwards at the Willow Creek |

Going through the local school system, he was a graduate of Palm Springs High, Class of 1953. He later attended San Bernardino Valley College and the University of California at Riverside. Seeing the trend towards full service automotive facilities, he sharpened his knowledge of mechanics and the technology required of the service station business. While he owned several service stations in the valley, he was most widely known for the establishment of Sunrise Shell. His love of cars and people matched with customer service standards and quality work, earned him awards and recognition from the 'Desert Beautiful' organization for that site.

There he bought "Shooters", a local pizza restaurant he owned and operated for four years. He enjoyed his new community presence and valued the new friendships made.

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 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.

Kirk Timothy Griffin Kirk Griffin died unexpectedly September 15, 2010. He was only 54 years old, but he lived life to the fullest, easily making friends with his upbeat personality and charm. He graduated from Lowell High School in San Francisco where he and a few friends formed a 50's rock and roll band which included Kirk doing an "Elvis" set. After graduation he moved to Florida where he and his new group became headliners with Kirk billed as "Jesse King", one of the first Elvis Presley impressionists in the country. The act enjoyed great success. After touring the nation with his group for many years, he returned to San Francisco where he frequently appeared in clubs throughout the Bay Area.

Kirk will be remembered for his brilliant smile, wonderful sense of humor and his ability to have a good time wherever he went.

ALLEN, MARY JOSEPHINE Our beloved mother, grandmother and sister, Mary Josephine Allen, suddenly and unexpectedly left us on September 23, 2010. Born on January 10, 1928, in Los Angeles, Mary, also known as Josie, was one of five children of Ernestine and John Eppley. After graduating from Polytechnic High, Mary became the breadwinner for her family. Within a few years, her son was born and yet she continued to work to support her mother, three brothers and a sister. Mary was the person the family relied and depended upon. She moved them to Lynwood where she lived for almost 50 years. In addition to being a single parent and provider, she was also a professional who had a long successful career as a bookkeeper and supervisor at firms such Familian Pipe and Supply and Jack Rouse and Son Auctioneers. She retired temporarily at age 72, moved to San Diego and then returned to work at Downey Savings in Rancho Bernardo where she rapidly became a Customer Service Supervisor and trainer. Mary was known for her selfless generosity, her independence, her dependability, her intelligence, her wit, and her incredible work ethic. She was proud of her accomplishments, especially having a devoted son and daughter-in-law and a wonderful grandson who married just last year. Mary enjoyed many things such as cooking, gardening, and especially reading. Perhaps most of all, she enjoyed the holidays when all of the family would gather. Each of us was thankful for each holiday we had with her and we know she felt the same. Mary was preceded in death by her brothers John and Richard. She is survived by her loving son and daughter-in-law Tim Allen and Dr. Yvonne Caballero-Allen of Encinitas, grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Dr. Christopher Allen and Lisa Kelly of San Francisco, her sister Dorothy Eppley of San Diego for whom she was also a best friend, and her brother USMC Lt. Colonel (retired) Arthur Eppley and his wife Terry Eppley of San Jose. Mary passed away at the age of 82 in a car accident that may have been prompted by a medical issue. Just as in the rest of her life, at that moment, she did everything possible to protect others so that no one else was injured. Mary was full of life so it is difficult to believe she is not with us today. She was everything to us and we will miss her deeply. Greenwood Memorial Park & Mortuary arrangements include visitation and rosary on Thursday, September 30, 2010, 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Funeral Services will take place on Friday, October 1, 2010 at 12 noon. |

MARYELLEN CASHMAN TALLY DEC 30, 1929 - SEP 25, 2010 Maryellen passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully at her home on Saturday, September 25. She was 80 years young, and loved by all who knew her.

Maryellen was among a cadre of parent volunteers who helped get St. Bernard's School started in 1958 and all four Tally children attended. She volunteered at the school for 10 years and in 1968 became St. Bernard's first school secretary, a position she held for the next 14 years. Maryellen and Dennis retired at the same time so they could enjoy traveling and more time with family. However she was widowed four years later at the age of 57 when Dennis passed away from cancer. Almost immediately she began to fill her days with volunteer work...from the Tracy Hospital Auxilliary to the Delta Blood Bank and the Elections Board, you could always count on her to be there and always with a smile on her face. She scheduled volunteers at the hospital's gift shop for many years, and had worked two days in the gift shop herself the week she died. Never afraid of a challenge, Maryellen got her first computer this year and quickly learned her way around the keyboard, spending hours e-mailing friends and family, and playing games! Maryellen's biggest joy in life was her family. She took several trips to Europe with her children and grandchildren, and enjoyed time with family and friends in the mountains near Dardanelles, especially when raising her young family. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to play cards and practical jokes. She was a tiny lady with a huge heart. Little ones were drawn to her like a magnet - Nana'' will be so very missed by nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She is survived by her brother, Bill Cashman (Valera); children Jean Benner (Bill), Jane Johnston (Tom), Larry Tally (Sharon), Chris Tally and Lisa Tally; grandchildren Jonathan Benner-Ortega, Jennifer Ortega (Chris), Michael Benner (Liza), Patrick Benner (Kathy), James Quadrato (Brooke), Jill Krimmel (Peter), Laurie Hansen (Jonathan), Christina Cirriani (John), and Cassandra Tally; and great grandchildren Kaitlyn, Grace, Elizabeth and Emily Benner, Cole Krimmel, Logan Hansen, and Courtney and Carissa Quadrato.

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. |

He graduated from the program in 1969, and was drafted into the US Army, serving from March 1970-March 1972. He spent one year serving in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Division as a mechanic. Upon his return, he was employed as a civilian for the U.S. Navy working in the field of engine repair, where he enjoyed a long, successful career. In 1984 he received the Excellence Award from Naval Air Systems Command for his innovative ideas that produced the largest single cost reduction in the Navy's Cost Reduction Program, saving taxpayers more than $32 Million from 1984-1986. For this accomplishment he received letters of commendation from President Ronald Reagan and from the Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci. Upon his retirement in 2001, Rich received an honorary membership to Code 302, the Steam and Diesel Propulsion Division of the Pacific Fleet Technical Support Center for recognition of his many years of professionalism and technical savvy. A long-time resident of Descanso, Rich was well-loved in his community, always ready to greet friends with a smile and a beer, and often assisting with whatever needed fixing. Rich had a life-long passion for camping and fishing in Baja California, which is where he spent most of his time. He had a special interest in Native North American petro glyphs, and was a charter member of the San Diego Rock Art Association. He is survived by partner Linda Bailey and their daughter Quinci, as well as brothers Bob, Ron, and Paul Raczkowski. There will be a memorial gathering at the Descanso Town Hall, Friday, October 1, at 2 p.m. All are welcome. Rich was a supporter of the San Diego Blood Bank, recognized for his personal donations of more than 13 gallons of blood. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, Rich would be best honored by donating blood in his memory. |
Ronald Frank Antonioli August 10, 1929-September 18, 2010 In Memory of a Good Man Ronald Antonioli passed away on Saturday with his family by his side. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after a sudden fall in his Novato home, on September 18. Son of the late Anna and Frank Antonioli, and brother to Robert Antonioli who passed away in 2007, Ron was raised in a Yugoslav-Californian family that extended from the Bay Area to the Central Valley. Growing up in San Francisco and Marin County, he attended Grant Primary, Lowell High School, and the College of Marin while working for his father's construction company in San Rafael. An accomplished builder with a keen sense of detail and strong drive, in the 1950s he formed his own independent company, Ronald Antonioli, Inc., and built more than 140 commercial structures in Marin County. As observed by George Wagner, Ron was a pioneer in the use of concrete tilt-up building technology, a process that involves pouring concrete building walls in frames atop the concrete floor, and when dried, tilting up the frames by crane and setting the walls in place. Ron was one of the leading contractor/developers for Northgate Business Park, Hamilton Industrial Park, and Bel Marin Keys Business Park. His active construction and development company was responsible for many local landmarks, such as the Handi-Kup building, the Tiburon Lodge, the Guide Dogs for the Blind campus, the China Cabin, and the Triple A Building. He developed many apartment complexes and shopping centers in Marin and throughout the Bay Area, but always maintained his Marin County base. Ron was passionate about the arts. According to his long-standing friend since their early childhood, William Knorp, Ron was a consummate pianist who found special pleasure in playing and in listening to others play. Many concerts were performed at his home throughout the years. These included more than a decade of support for the San Domenico School Music Conservatory and Virtuoso Program, and that program's chamber concerts, which, according to Faith France and Hugo Rinaldi, impacted the lives and careers of brilliant young artists at a critical point in their professional development. He also hosted performances by the College of Marin Choir, the Thursday Musical Program, and the Concerts Grand series. Terry McNeill remembers Ron's active interest in AMICA, the club that restored and played mechanical pianos such as Welte, Artreo-Angeles, Hupfeld and Ampico. He also recalls Ron's hosting of musicales, attended on some occasions by the famed Hungarian pianist, Ervin Nyiregyhazi, and later by the virtuoso Jorge Bolet. Ron's other interests included the collection of antiques and works of art. He was an aficionado of 17th and 18th century French and Italian art and antiques, which he patronized at home and studied in their contexts abroad, especially in Rome, Paris and St. Petersburg. If his interest in art was an expression of his keen artistic sensibility, his love of fine and exemplary antique furniture originated in his profound appreciation and understanding of the superior craftsmanship required for their production, doubtless based on his own work experience. Examples of his passion for fine craftsmanship were the frequent revisions and esthetic refinements made to his own house, to the amusement of many friends who dubbed it his Winchester House. Ron's philanthropic contributions to various organizations include generous gifts of funds and antiquities to the University of California at Berkeley, where he is commemorated on the north wall of the Doe Library as one of the "Builders of Berkeley." Whereas in his early years Ron had enjoyed duck hunting in the bay area wetlands and had made annual deer hunting trips to Wyoming and to his much-cherished Grand Tetons, in his later years he focused his efforts towards the protection of open space, especially in northwestern California. He was an avid hiker and mycologist, with a passion for the white king bolete and the golden chanterelle which he enjoyed as a favorite meal. At home, he carefully tended and nurtured his French garden, his cypresses, roses, and his vegetable plots. Among Ron's greatest pleasures was the company of his friends and family. Always a gentleman, according to his friend Jim Westenbroek, Ron was good-natured, with a lively and lovely spirit that will be missed by all who had him in their lives. He leaves behind his wife Guitty Azarpay, his children Laurie Anna Antonioli and son Daniel Ronald Antonioli, daughter and son of Gretchen Gregory, grand-daughter Mayana Morgan Lea and step-daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter Vesa, Gwenael and Nina Becam. As well as his sister-in-law Baerbel Freitag, and his extended family the Muziniches and the Antoniolis in the Bay Area and the Antonioli family in Budva, Montenegro. Ron had countless friends, some of whom he had known since childhood, and others with whom he subsequently developed close ties. A private memorial for Ron will be held at a later date. Donations in his name may be made to a charity of your choice, or to the Bancroft Library, the University of California, Berkeley Foundation, 2080 Addison Street, Berkeley, CA, 94720., Ronald Frank Antonioli August 10, 1929-September 18, 2010 In Memory of a Good Man Ronald Antonioli passed away on Saturday with his family by his side.

Reverend Anthony Gilbert Cordeiro, O.P. 5 Oct. 1934 - 26 Sept. 2010 (75 years old) Funeral Services will be held for the Reverend Anthony Gilbert Cordeiro at Saint Dominic Catholic Church, Benicia, California. The Rosary will be on Thursday, 30 September, at 7:30 P.M. and the Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, 1 October, at 1:00 P.M. Burial at Saint Dominic Cemetery will follow the Funeral Mass. Father Cordeiro was born Antonio James Cordeiro, Jr., in San Leandro, California, on 25 October 1934. His parents, Antonio and Olga Cordeiro, who immigrated to the United States from the Azores, pre-deceased him. He has one sibling, his beloved sister, Marie (Max) Schwarz, two nephews, Paul (Gail) Schwarz and Richard (Diane) Schwarz and their children. In addition, there are several close-as-siblings cousins, Margaret Schwarz, Maria (Jim) Goggin and their children, who called him Uncle Tony. He received his elementary education at Saint Mary's in San Leandro and his secondary education at Saint Mary College High School in Berkeley, California. For two years he studied at the University of San Francisco, then entered The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Christian Brothers) and graduated from Saint Mary's College (Moraga) with honors. Father Cordeiro entered the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and received the holy habit on 8 September 1960 and, given St. Gilbert as his religious name, made his profession vows on 9 September 1961. He was ordained to the priesthood on 16 June 1967. Father Cordeiro loved all aspects of education and spent a good part of his Dominican life as a teacher, supervisor and superintendent. However, education was not his only forte. He excelled in finances and served as the Procurator (treasurer) for the Western Dominican Province for two Provincial administrations, assisted by his good friend, Mrs. Fran Mullen. Having never been assigned as a parish priest, he was appointed pastor of Holy Rosary Parish in Portland, Oregon, from 1997 - 2000, where he served this unique parish exceptionally well before he returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. During the last ten years of his life, he served again as Procurator for the Western Dominican Province (Oakland), Superior of Siena House (Oakland), Assistant Director of the Saint Jude Shrine (San Francisco), semi-retirement at St. Dominic Church (Benicia), where he assisted in the parish, and during his last illness took up residence at Siena House where he was fraternally cared for by his Dominican confreres until his death on Sunday morning, 26 September 2010. Throughout his life he enjoyed sharing the experience of traveling with his family, fellow Dominicans and friends. He will be greatly missed by all those whose lives he touched with love and compassion. Donations in honor of Fr.

Russell Steven Smotherman known as Steve or Smut to those who knew him. He was a resident of Yuba/Sutter County. He was born December 2, 1949 and went to be with his Savior on September 24, 2010. Steve's job was a construction estimator, but his life's mission was to see everyone he knew come to know the Lord. Steve was miraculously changed by the power of God at age 18 after being healed from a motorcycle injury. He showed up at New Life after a co-worker invited him to a youth service at New Life with the promise that he could meet girls. And boy did he meet a jewel, Juanita Pearl his wife of 38 years! He answered the altar call and Pastor Hood prayed for him. He was healed of bone cancer, gave his heart to the Lord and his life was changed, a heritage born. From that moment on Steve lived every day of his life searching for people who needed the same miracle in their lives. He was known as a faithful husband, loving father, the GREATEST PAPA EVER, devoted son, brother, dear friend, and pillar of the faith. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 He was preceded in death by his granddaughter Emily Smotherman. He is survived by his beautiful wife, Nita, children, Steve, Stacy, Ben, Neicy, Jason, Brooke and Alyssa. His grand kids, Chase, Chloe, Miriam, Macy, & Jayden and many, many other family & friends. It is overwhelming the number of lives that were changed because, Steve, chose to follow Christ. We know that we will see him again and can't wait for that moment. A celebration of his life is scheduled for Friday, October 1, 2010 at 2pm. New Life Assembly in Olivehurst, Ca. Memorial Fund in care of New Life Assembly. Send Condolences |

NEWTON, WALTER R. July 26, 1933 to Sept. 24, 2010 Walter Robert Newton, born in Jersey City, New Jersey, was 77 years old when he passed away at his home in Lakeside, California, in the early morning hours of September 24th, with his wife of 58 years, Hilda, at his side. His youngest daughter, Maureen, and her husband were also present. Walt, or "Newt" as he was affectionately known, also leaves behind two other daughters, his eldest, Colleen, and her husband, along with Kathie and her husband. Newt was the proud grandpa to Amanda, Matthew and Mallarie and great grandpa to Nathaniel. There is another great-grandson on the way. Walt's older brother, William Newton, passed away a few short weeks ago; Walt was never told. His youngest brother, Bobbie, passed away many years ago at the tender age of 29. Surviving siblings include a younger brother, John, who resides in New Jersey with his family, and a younger sister, Linda, who lives in Virginia with her husband. The Newton Family lived in Butler, New Jersey, for many years prior to relocating to Southern California, where the Newton girls attended school. Walt owned and operated Wanaque Auto Body for some 30 years and he would often been seen dropping the girls off at school in the purple and white tow truck or sometimes in one of the antique cars he collected and refurbished, much to the girls' chagrin. After moving to Southern California, Newt worked as an insurance adjuster before he "retired." He never really could adjust to working for somebody else, especially when he was "asked" to wear a tie to work. Seems the boss didn't consider his bollo a tie. After that he spent most of his time in his vegetable garden, puttering around the garage or the yard, or just spending time with the family and his beloved pug, Thumper. He loved that dog so much, he got a tattoo of her on his arm! Newt was well known for his signature handle bar mustache, which he always kept waxed and neatly curled, his cowboy boots and hat. Once he moved to California, he continued wearing his cowboy boots, sometimes even with shorts. He made an unforgettable impression on everyone he met. He will surely be missed. |

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. For more information, please contact Krista Martin, SPO Partners & Co., 415-384-2291, krista.martin@spopartners.com. |
