Alyce E. Contreras October 15, 1931 - October 2, 2010 Has gone home to her eternal father on October 2, 2010 after a long illness and has been reunited with her beloved husband, Pancho Contreras. She leaves behind to cherish her memories three children: Thomas Contreras and wife Louise from Colorado, Antoinette Placenti and husband Harry from Bakersfield; grandson, Joseph from New York and oldest son, Anthony Contreras. She also leaves behind her constant companion "Spike", a feral cat turned housecat who was with her until the end. Born to Alfred and Marie Mueller, Alyce was raised and attended Bakersfield school including graduating from Garces High School. After high school she traveled to China where she was a novice nun for 2 years, after an acute illness she returned to the USA and married her husband of 36 years, F.A. Contreras (Pancho) until his death in 1995. During her adulthood, she worked at Brock's Dept. store and was a nursing assistant, at Mercy hospital. In 1959, after the birth of her first child she left the workforce to devote her time to motherhood. She raised at various times, over 25 foster children. In Alyce's eye's, these children were extensions of her immediate family, and still maintained contact with some of them as adults. As a full time mother, Alyce volunteered at all the schools that her children attended. She was well known for her baking and cooking by her family, friends and the church. She entered and won several awards at the Kern County Fair for years in the baking, canning, preserving and the plant divisions. As a couple, Alyce and Pancho were the quintessential, "two peas in a pod". As parents they were active with their children in F.F.A. As devout Catholic's they were active in various clubs at Our Lady of Guadalupe church including the Men's club which made Alyce an honorary member. Together they ran the "rabbit and chicken "barn at the Kern county fair and were voting monitors at election time. Alyce continued to work at the fair and election post for years after "Pancho's" passing. Alyce's life was enriched through prayer and meditation at Saint Andrew's Abbey, where she became an oblate of Saint Benedict. She received great joy and solace in pray and devotion to the Blessed Virgin, Padre Pio, Mother Theresa, and the Rosary. In 1995 as a family we changed our church to Saint Francis where Alyce was a devout member of the congregation. Alyce is preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, F.A. Contreras, (Pancho); her parents, Alfred and Marie Mueller; and brother, Alfred. There are so many friends to thank for being there for Alyce and the family: Nia Martini: a steadfast friend who always checked on Alyce and kept her in her prayers. Shirley Nikkels who could not have been a better neighbor. And to Carmen Martinez, Alyce's daytime caregiver for the last two years and was more like a daughter and a sister (thanks Cindi) than a textbook caregiver. Carmen also brought into Alyce's life 2 bursts of sunshine named, Emilie and Emma, who she loved dearly. Special thanks to Dr. Edward Brown who throughout the last several years helped take care of Alyce at home, and held a special place in Alyce's heart as well as great appreciation from the family. And heartfelt thank-you to our extended family at Polyclinic, some things can never be said to express the love and appreciation that one has towards friends that have shown a thoughtful gesture, a phone call, a laugh or a meal. To all the unsung heroes of our world-thank you so much for being there, for your support , for your time, for your love and for your prayers. Thank you so much for being there. Visitation for Alyce E. Contreras, of Bakersfield, will be held Thursday, October 7, 2010, 2 p.m.-8 p.m. at Hopson-Anspach Chapel, located at 620 Oregon St., Bakersfield, with Rosary commencing at 6 p.m. Mass of the Resurrection will be at St. Francis Catholic Church, Friday, October 8, 2010, 9 a.m. with interment immediately following at Union Cemetery.

Her third daughter, Judy (Castaneda), was born in California., The 94 years of her life were filled with struggles, triumphs and lots of love. The grandchildren and great-grandchildren would ask her to help them with their homework by relating stories about her childhood and the days without cars, radios and running water. She would hold them captive by her side telling them wonderful stories. She had the nickname "Rosie the Riveter" because during World War II she was one of the brave women who went to work in the factories working as a riveter on the huge wings of aircraft., There are too many family members to mention, but there are also many family members who have gone before her and have been waiting for her to join them. Everybody loved her and she brightened the lives of so many.

Later, she would meet and marry the love of her life, Merle Joseph Finnerty (Bones). Together they made their home in Baden, Pa., along with their two children, Deborah Lynn Brook (Finnerty) and Merle Joseph Finnerty Jr. (Joe), both of Vacaville. It was during this time Dolores accepted the Lord as her personal Savior; which she found comfort after Bones passed away in 1971., In 1984, Dolores joined both her children in Merced, Calif. She attended Merced Community College and also worked there. When she wasn't working or studying, she was a Red Cross volunteer at Castle Air Force Base. She also spent countless hours at the local nursing home visiting people who didn't have family. In 1987, she once again followed her children to Vacaville, Calif. Dolores would remain in Vacaville for a few years ,then back to Pennsylvania, and then finally back to Vacaville, permanently, in 1999., Shortly after returning to Vacaville, she got her dream job with Solano Community College as an extended campus assistant at Travis Air Force Base.

Later, she moved to the Vacaville campus where the staff and students came to love her. The last few months she had moved to the Vallejo campus where she found the students so kind to her. Dolores had many friends at Solano Community College and looked forward to each day with her staff and students., Dolores' two main purposes in life were to serve her Lord and to care for her children. You knew not to disturb her in the early hours of the morning, because that was her time to read her Bible and worship. She was constantly praying for family, friends, co-workers or people she didn't even know., Dolores was a devoted and loving mom to her children. While raising them, she always made sure they went on vacations, had grand birthday parties, took them to the drive-in theater to see a scary movie, or just open her home to her children's friends to hang-out or go swimming. Her children loved playing practical jokes on Dolores and on one particular occasion she made her young son, Joe, undress outside because she knew he had a snake. Only problem is she didn't know he hid the snake in his folded clothes. Once Joe came in the house you could hear a blood curdling scream for miles!, Dolores enjoyed life and the people she met to the fullest. She always felt the need to show compassion to those less fortunate, especially the homeless. Her other passion was traveling with both her children while they were in the Air Force. Along with them she got to see the world! When she wasn't taking care of all her plants, she would be relaxing reading a good book., Dolores is survived by both her children; son-in-law, Gary Brook; and daughter-in-law, Charmaine (Woodard) Finnerty. She leaves behind six grandchildren, Christine (Finnerty) Dedominicis, Meagen Finnerty all from Pennsylvania; Kelli and Ryan Brook; Jasmine and Sean Finnerty, all from Vacaville; and two great-grandsons, Shawn Jr., and Logan Dedominicis from Pennsylvania., Dolores was preceded in death by her parents, John and Ethel; brother, Ernie; sister, Mary; husband, Bones; and great-grandson, Aiden., Our family is so thankful and appreciative for the loving support and prayers of so many friends and family.

SMITH, Fay Sanders 1938 to 2010 In loving memory of our wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. Fay S. Smith passed away unexpectedly this past Monday, October 4th. And as we grieve our loss, we reflect on what she has meant to her loved ones - something that can be summed up in one word, family. Fay was born August 19, 1938 in Grinnell, Iowa. At the age of one, her family sought the opportunities that Southern California offered at that time and moved to Downey. In High School, she met Larry Smith whose good looks and charm were irresistible. They married in 1954, settled in Temple City, and it wasn't long until the young couple started their family. Son Mark in 1955, daughter Christine Fay in 1957, daughter Lucinda in 1958, son Jeff in 1959, and daughter Denise in 1961. Known for their good behavior out in public, raising the kids was her focus while Larry went off to work. Fay cooked the meals, doled out the discipline, kept the house clean, and held the volume down to a dull roar., Fay is survived by her faithful husband Larry whom she was married to for 56 years, her five children and their spouses, 17 of her 18 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, her two sisters Lucinda Williams and Jane Galante, along with several nieces, nephews and brothers and sisters-in-law. Her granddaughter, Amanda Fay preceded her to heaven. Family has been the cornerstone of Fay's life and Fay has been the cornerstone of her family. Fay and Larry have been best friends. In addition to spending a good part of each year in Kona, they literally have travelled the world and have been on six of the seven continents. It seemed as if Fay had a reserved seat at the Bellagio in Las Vegas right in front of the video poker machine. Most recently, horse racing has been their passion. They have owned several horses, watching them run and win, at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, and Del Mar. Fay's unexpected passing on October 4th is a great loss for the family. But, with their great love for wife, friend, mom and "Grandma Fay," they have wonderful memories of a giggle, a cackle, a warm greeting and the legacy of strength in marriage and in family. Funeral service will be held at Cabot & Sons, 27 Chestnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91103 at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 9th, 2010. Burial will follow at San Gabriel Cemetery, 601 Roses Road, San Gabriel, CA 91775. |

Mar. 21, 1966-Sept 27, 2010, Anne Henderson was 44 years old when she passed away at her home in Pasadena. For 15 years she had fought breast cancer with an indomitable will to live and to thrive in the life she pursued. Yet when knowing she could fight no more, she slipped away peacefully surrounded by a few faithful friends and devoted family members., Anne was the younger daughter of Mary Alice and Joe Henderson of Santa Paula and was raised there where she attended the local schools from kindergarten through high school. Always one who pushed her mind and body to meet her high expectations, she graduated with the Class of '84 as Student Body President and Valedictorian. During her senior year she attended Girls' State and capped her four years of volleyball an all CIF selection and contributed to the team's CIF championship., Anne attended Occidental College and graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. For scholarship she was elected to Omicron Delta Epsilon, the Economics Honorary Society. In 1993 she furthered her education with a MBA from Bath University, England and years later she pursued a second advanced degree in International Economics at the Fletcher School, Tufts University, and Boston., She thoroughly enjoyed meeting and staying in contact with many of her international classmates at both institutions, especially Christine Beyer. Another California native, they came to be and remained devoted friends., As an adult, Anne resided in the Los Angeles area. In 1993 she found her future career in a small, cutting-edge, consulting/software development company, Treasury Services Corporation (TSC). When TSC (later acquired by the Oracle Corporation) decided to establish a presence in the Asia Pacific region, Anne, with her then husband, Mike Willhelm, was sent to live in Australia. It was at this time that the 29 year-old bride discovered the cancer. Within days they returned to California. The disease had spread so quickly that she was given a 3 to 5% chance of survival., Instead of surrendering, Anne threw down the gauntlet to fight it. She resumed her career by associating with another rising finance business called Digital Insight (DI). There she gained invaluable knowledge and experience in positions of administrative management. When her company was acquired by Intuit Inc. and became its financial institution division, Anne continued to have great success at various levels of executive positions. A recent recognition she and her team received made her most proud; they were granted a patent for a software program. Anne's last title with Intuit was Vice President, New Business Initiatives. Throughout these years she was fighting regular flare-ups of the cancer but continued to work undaunted. In fact, very few of her associates were aware of her medical history., All the while Anne was remaining active in various organizations. One of her favorite was MOSTE, meaning "Motivating Our Students Through Experience" whose mission is helping underserved girls fulfill their dream of attending college. She mentored one young woman through her junior high school years, remained in contact with her through high school and was giving her guidance in selecting a college and career. She was on the Board of Directors of Team Survivor California, Los Angeles County Affiliate, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and willingly gave words of encouragement to numerous women coping with cancer., Anne's favorite pastimes were sharing special occasions with her parents, devoting time to her sister Alice and being "Aunt Annie" to her children; visiting friends all over the world. She also enjoyed traveling to exotic places, biking, hiking, kayaking, visiting distant friends and most recently, photographing the beauties of Nature., Anne is survived by her parents; sister, Alice, brother-in-law, John Billman, and their children, Logan, Glenn and Lita; her grandmother, Moya Henderson, Palm Springs; aunts and uncles, Bill Orcutt, Santa Paula, Robin and Marshall Orcutt, Arkansas, Moira and Steven Knox, Hawaii, Harriet and Lary Harris, Oregon, Lynn and Rick Henderson, Alaska, and Susie and Doug Henderson, Oak Park; numerous cousins and hundreds of friends., In lieu of flowers, consider making contributions to two of Anne's favorite organizations: KIVA or TEAM Survivor Los Angeles., "A Remembrance" will be held Saturday, Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. at the Universalist Unitarian Church, 740 East Main Street, Santa Paula with a reception following at the family home. |

I loved Santa Barbara and all the people I met and all the beautiful flowers and trees. Thanks to my friend, Phillip, who arranged some wonderful trips for me. Thanks to Dr. Robert Byers and staff in Santa Barbara who were kind and protective of my care. My time in Lompoc started my visit to California and Lompoc has ended my visit. I want to thank Dr. Cecilia Ramos and all the nurses in the Lompoc Skilled and Rehab Center. You took care of me and helped my daughter keep me safe. Good-bye to my children and their spouses and all my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Here I come Al- it's time for us to play golf! There will be no visitation or service. I will go home and I will be home. Best of love to my kids and for your life. Be careful, HK |

Henry Lee Bryant, Resident of San Mateo, Passed away of natural causes on October 1st, 2010 in San Mateo, California. "Hank" was born in Carthage, Tennessee on July 17, 1925. He lost his father in infancy and was raised by his mother, with assistance from his older brother and sister. Hank spent his boyhood years in Carthage until, , when he joined the, and served his country as a signalman on the U.S.S. Stanton in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters. During the 1960s and '70s, Hank also served part-time as an officer in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. While on leave in Boston, he met his future wife, Anne. After the war, they married and moved (with Anne's parents) to California, living first in Redwood City, then finally settling in San Mateo in 1953., Hank worked under his father-in-law as a painter before becoming a contractor and starting his own successful painting company - Bryant Painting - which is still in operation nearly 60 years later., After moving to California, Hank and Anne raised six children, with Anne serving as homemaker. Both were Catholics and raised their children in that faith, sending them to St. Matthew Catholic School in San Mateo for their primary education. Much later, Hank and Anne attended the Mid-Peninsula Vineyard Christian Church in San Carlos, CA for a number of years., During his adult life, Hank spent as much time as possible engaged in two favorite pastimes - fishing and gardening.

He was expert in growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and other plants, and was especially proud of his roses., Hank was beloved and respected by everyone who knew him. He was always a wonderful example to his children - a strong, loving father, a devoted husband of nearly 65 years, a caring friend, a model citizen and a man of unquestionable character. Most importantly, he was a Christian who trusted his Lord and took his faith with him into eternity., Hank is survived by his loving wife Anne, his children Carol, Steven, Susie, Jon, Marc and Mary and their spouses: in addition to grandchildren Ben, Beth, Tim, , Seth, Casey and Zachary, and great-grandchildren Sarah, Bryant, Anna,Chuck and Sierra.

Janet was a Docent in Humboldt County and a member of University Women. Art was one of her passions. After retirement, she volunteered at different elementary schools in the Fortuna area and shared her knowledge of and passion for art with the students in hopes of pulling them away from television and getting them motivated to "get out and live their lives".

Marjorie Elizabeth Anderson, 89, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, died peacefully of natural causes at Odyssey House in Palm Desert, Calif. on August 30, 2010.

The couple met at church group in San Diego. Tom, who hails from San Pedro, Calif., was in the city working for an aging Norwegian sea captain, and was invited to The Church of the New Jerusalem's youth group events. Introduced to what he said was "a beautiful strawberry blonde girl named Marjorie," they began courting and were eventually married in 1941. Married on September 7, 1941 in The Church of the New Jerusalem in front of family and friends, the couple honeymooned in Sequoia National Park, a testament to their lifelong love of camping and exploring the great outdoors as a family.

In 1949, Marjorie became involved with the Girl Scouts of Palm Springs, working at the Scout House, located in what is now known as Ruth Hardy Park. Marjorie continued to work with the Girl Scouts in Palm Springs and Palm Desert, troops that were a part of the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council, for 40 years and was recognized nationally for her dedication and service. She also was a den mother for Cub Scouts. In November of 1953, Marjorie and Tom welcomed their youngest son Dean Blair and a year later the family moved from North Palm Springs to Rancho Mirage Cove, where Marjorie and Tom raised their family, and where Tom still resides today. A founding member of the Rancho Mirage Women's Club, in 1965 Marjorie was elected that organization's president and continued to be a board member for most of her life. She was also the decorations chairperson of the Desert Symphony Auxiliary from 1971 to 1972, named Soroptimist Woman of Distinction in 1990 and 1991, and was awarded the Athena Award from the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce in 1995.

Died peacefully in the company of her two children September 30th, 2010 at the age of 80. The beloved matriarch was the last of the second generation of the Seghesio wine family; her entire life was dedicated to family, farming and the wine business. Rachel Ann was aided in life by her faith, rich friendships and the love of reading, gardening and travel. Rachel Ann was born in Healdsburg on February 28th, 1930 to Emil and Camille Passalacqua who instilled in her a strong Catholic faith, a love of farming and an appreciation for learning. Her early childhood was deeply influenced by grapes and wine. Growing up on the Passalacqua Ranch was magical for Rachel Ann; her childhood was marked by the seasons and the beauty, richness and humility of each harvest. Ever a dutiful daughter and sister, she and her siblings helped their father on the ranch, harvesting prunes, pears and grapes. Her wine roots are traced to Oliveto Winery in Healdsburg (purchased by her grandmother Rachele Passalacqua in 1934) where her father was the winemaker. After graduating from Healdsburg High School, she attended San Francisco College for Women (Lone Mountain) and received her B.A. Returning home, she taught first and second grade in Sonoma County Schools for five years during which time she met her future husband Eugene Peter Seghesio. Upon their marriage in 1956, she moved to the Home Ranch at Chianti, California, becoming active and devoted to the Seghesio family wine business. Rachel Ann weighed grapes and handled accounting and payroll for the family during its bulk wine production; upon bottling their first wine under their own name in 1983, Rachel Ann became an ambassador for the Seghesio brand. She quickly developed a reputation for her gracious hospitality and legendary culinary skills whereby she brought her extensive garden to the table. She later became a travelling ambassador for the winery into the marketplace. Her last role, by far the most rewarding, began in 2006 when, at the request of her son Peter, she began working as hostess of the family's weekend wine and food pairings. She delighted in sharing with guests Seghesio's rich 100+ year history and made a remarkable impression on those she met. Rachel Ann was a woman of great integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity and an indomitable faith. She was a passionate individual who lived richly and was deeply spiritual, nurturing and selfless, always putting others before herself. She was an avid traveler with her favorite traveling companion, her daughter, Camille. She loved the Home Ranch, her garden and her pets. She adored her children and grandchildren and was a devoted, nurturing mother and grandmother. Her inquisitive intellect spurred a voracious appetite for reading; she co-founded a book club in 1964, which is still ongoing today. Rachel Ann richly nurtured her friendships like a garden and they bore fruit. She was preceded in death by her husband Eugene Peter Seghesio; and is survived by her beloved family, son Peter Seghesio, daughter Amy Camille Seghesio, daughter-in-law Cathy Clements Seghesio; grandsons Joseph and William Seghesio; brother Fred Passalacqua (Donna), sister Jeanne Passalacqua; and numerous nieces and nephews. A rosary vigil will be held at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Asti Monday, October 11th at 6:30 p.m. with visitation starting at 5:00 p.m. Funeral mass and service will be held at St. John's Catholic Church in Healdsburg on Tuesday October 12th at 12:00 noon. Memorial donations in Rachel Ann's name may be made to St. John's School; the family plans to establish a scholarship fund in Rachel Ann's name. Funeral arrangements are being handled by FRED YOUNG FUNERAL HOME IN CLOVERDALE 707-894-2540. |

Ted O'Neill 81, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 3, 2010 at UCSF with the support of his loved ones. He fought a courageous three-year battle with a respiratory disease. Given the life he led and the energy he exuded, it could fairly be said he has passed on to a well-deserved rest. Born April 18, 1929 in Rathmoon, Ireland, County Wicklow, he was one of 13 children. He grew up on a farm where he first developed his life-long love for animals, especially horses. He dreamed of seeking greater opportunities across the ocean. At a dance in Carlow, he met Noreen-- the love of his life. Married for 46 years, the dance continued. They were best friends and constant companions and were blessed with one child, a daughter, Sheila Ann. Ted was a kind, gentle, and strong man with an Irish sense of humor and a twinkle in his eyes. He loved his work, animals, and he loved his family. He had a special fondness for his cherished grandsons, Sean and Ryan. In 1958, Ted and Noreen ventured to Vancouver, Canada where he worked in the mines and as a foreman in construction. Five years later, they made their way to San Francisco to join Ted's brothers where they had immigrated. Together, the brothers began a construction business building apartment buildings in the City. Ted then branched off on his own and he became a successful builder and developer in San Francisco and on the Peninsula. Ted loved sports, especially hockey, football, and horseracing. He could often be found enjoying the races at Bay Meadows or Golden Gate Fields. This passion led him to begin buying and breeding racehorses, and he was thrilled to be found in the Winner's Circle on occasion. He ultimately bought a thoroughbred farm in Paris, KY, which he affectionately named Ann Marie Farm. Ted loved the peace and quiet of the Bluegrass Country and referred to his place as "the nicest little farm in Kentucky." In addition to his wife, Noreen, Ted is survived by his daughter and his son-in-law, Sheila and John O'Keefe, and his two grandsons, Sean and Ryan. He is also survived by his siblings: Kay, Morey, Theresa (Jack) Kavanagh, Joan (Jack) Spaaragen, Dan O'Neill (Sheri Richards), his sisters-in-law Mrs. Mike O'Neill, and Mrs. John O'Neill, all of the San Francisco area; Lee O'Neill of Canada; and Mrs. Richard O'Neill of Ireland; Philomena (Michael) O'Carroll, and Sheila (Jim) Holland, all of Ireland. He was a devoted, loving uncle to numerous nieces and nephews, both here and abroad. He was predeceased by his brothers Mike, John, Tom and Richard O'Neill and sisters Margaret Whelan and Mary Collins, and his brothers-in-law Don Morey, Patrick Whelan and John Collins. The family wants to give special thanks to the wonderful and caring staff at Stanford, St. Mary's, and UCSF. Family and friends may visit Thursday, October 7th from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at DUGGAN'S SERRA MORTUARY, 500 Westlake Avenue, Daly City where a Vigil Service will be held at 7:00pm.

William James Ott William James Ott, 78, of Redding, CA lost his short battle with liver cancer on Wednesday, October 6, 2010. He died peacefully at home. Known as "Bill" by all his friends and "Mr. Ott" to all the many students he taught. Bill was born in Emporia, Kansas on May 8, 1932 to Lowell and Viva Ott. He grew up in Hamilton, Kansas with his younger sister, Mary Alice, by his side. He enjoyed swimming in the rivers and lakes and fishing on the banks. He also loved playing sports. When Bill was 10 years old his family moved to Anderson, CA. His dad, Lowell, ran the local hardware store, Diamond National, and his mother, Viva, taught at Anderson Elementary School. Bill attended Anderson Elementary School and then moved to Anderson High School. He was very active playing Baseball, Basketball and Football in High School. As a senior he was elected Student Body Vice President. As a sophomore he met the love of his life Frances Kraft. They were both attending a school clean up day at the High School. Bill's friend had to encourage Frances to go talk to Bill because he was too shy to make the first move. It came up that Frances' parents had a duck pond on their farm. Bill loved to hunt so this was just what he needed to get the conversation flowing. It wasn't too long before Bill showed up at the farm to hunt ducks, geese and Frances! Frances knew his first love was baseball and sportsman activities but she was hoping she could be a close second. They dated the rest of high school until Bill graduated in 1950. Bill moved to Sacramento to attend Sacramento City College to take undergraduate classes and play baseball. He worked to pay for college and all those dates he was taking Frances on. He completed his undergraduate degree in the spring on 1952. That same spring he also figured he better ask Frances to be his lifelong partner. They were married March 15, 1952 in Sacramento. In the fall of 1952 he moved to Sacramento State College (University) to complete his teaching degree and continue to play baseball. Later that year Bill and Frances had their first child William Thomas. He finished his teaching degree in the spring of 1954. In the fall of 1954 he moved the family back to Anderson where he started his first teaching job at Anderson High School. He was hired as a P.E. teacher. He also helped coach the football team. His years teaching at Anderson High totaled 37. In those years he taught P.E., coached football, baseball and basketball. He also taught math until 1992, the year he retired. In 1972 when Bill was 41 he decided he needed a new hobby so he and Frances moved to Shingletown to start a cattle ranch. He loved the quiet of the country and the ranch life. He lived there until November of 2008. Bill loved to hunt and fish. His favorite vacation was a hunting trip to Alaska with his good friend, Dean Hinshaw. Up until he was too sick, his retirement days were often spent on the Sacramento River fishing. Bill grew up going to church. He attended several churches in Anderson over the years and died a member of Grace Presbyterian Church in Redding.
