Dolores Jean Finnerty experienced her "Heavenly Birth" on Sunday, Oct. 3, after a brief illness., She was the youngest of four children to John and Ethel (Smith) Vandervort on May 18, 1936, in Glassport, Pa., Dolores grew up in Sewickley, Pa., where she attended school and graduated. 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. She loved working with the military and helping them achieve their educational goals. Dolores loved decorating the office with the latest season or holiday d\écor. 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.

Before the onslaught of this devastating illness, Steve was anticipating his future retirement years with Laurie which included travel; new and multiple taste bud experiences; fishing destinations; leisure time for endless movies, but mostly spending time with his grandchildren; the bachelor party cruise and wedding of his son.

To our beloved son-in-law and dearest friend, rest in peace, we will take good care of your family., With our enduring love, Loretta Services will be private.

1918 ~ 2010 We will always remember Louise for her kindness and sense of humor. She was happiest when her home was filled with her family, cooking and laughing together. As a family, we are comforted in knowing that Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop are together again. Born in Merced on November 17, 1918 to Vital and Alice Pellissier, oldest child Louise Felice lived a happy and fulfilled life. She was raised on a Dairy Farm with her sister Lottie and brothers Leon and Jean, speaking only French until she entered school. Growing up with the Favier and Eyraud cousins, she often told stories of how much fun they had playing together on the Favier Ranch. She graduated Merced High in 1936 and exhibiting her adventurous side, actually took flying lessons in the late ‘30s. She met the love of her life, Bernie, when he was working at Merced Dairy and Ice and she was working next door at Sante's Ice Cream Parlor. After dating for 6 months he proposed and they were married in 1941 in Reno, Nevada, then subsequently, honoring the wishes of his mother, they had a church ceremony back in Merced at Our Lady of Mercy Church. Bernie joined the United States Air Force and while he was overseas, Louise opened Helen and Louise with her cousin Helen Eyraud in 1944 on 17th Street. After a year she left the business to have her first daughter, Nanette. The store still bears her name today. After Bernie returned from WWII, he opened Bernie's Liquors and Chrissie was born. Years later, they moved to the house on Rambler Road where youngest daughter Leslie was born. Louise loved learning to play the game of golf at Merced Golf and Country Club where she and Bernie were active members for many years. They enjoyed traveling and competing in many Golf Invitationals. Louise was the 18 Hole Lady's Division President in 1952, and later held the title Ladies Club Champion. Bernie and Louise loved traveling with friends. Favorite trips included the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, Italy, France, a fishing trip to Canada, and a cruise to Alaska, always making new friends. Many weekends and summers were spent on their houseboat on Lake McClure, tied up and floating down the lake with the, Pellissier, Granata, and Kirby boats connected.

In addition to her three daughters, "Mom-Mom" has a grandson Rob Massey, wife Mary, and recently, highly anticipated great-granddaughter, Charley and granddaughters Ashley Rahilly, Gianna and Annalise Phillips. A perfect day for Louise would be cooking breakfast for her family, playing a round of golf, enjoying a game of Gin Rummy and coming home to cook a fabulous dinner, with a piece of See's Candy for dessert! Louise had an extremely creative side ranging from inventive Halloween costumes to home architecture. She devoted herself to her family, as they were always her top priority. Bernie was a well-known caterer in town, but it was Louise who was the real cook! Her salad dressing is world-renown. In her last years, she was so lucky to have wonderful care givers. We are forever grateful to Kathy Blevins, Glen Staley, Angela Pena, and Dina Machado.

Leon Radsliff Bay area musician, writer / arranger Leon Radsliff died Sat. 10/09/10. Recently celebrating his 90th he reminisced about his life well spent on music, love & family. And what a life it was, from riding the rails out west at 14 to writing arrangements for Jack Teagarden & playing with Tommy Dorsey & his band. He settled into a musician's life in San Francisco, raising a family with his wife, Sunna, the love of his life. After 45 years in the bay area, where he played & wrote music for every major theatre & show in town, they retired to Oregon. Widowed 20 years ago, he returned to the Bay Area last year, enjoying family & local friends again. So to paraphrase -"Regrets? He'd had a few, but then again, too few to mention...He did it his way." We invite you to go to leonradsliff.com & enjoy more details. In lieu of flowers just raise a glass of red wine & salute the leader of the band. - We love you Dad & G'Pa. |

God gave Mom her angel wings at 2:00 am Saturday, October 9 surrounded by her loving family and friends who provided her with the sound of laughter, tears, and memories for five days prior to her peaceful passing. Born December 14, 1920 in Willits to Rosa & Guglelmo Pavioni. She was the fourth child, with three older brothers and a younger sister. She was a first generation Italian-American born of Italian immigrants. William, Telio, Dino, Mary, & Emma lived in a two-bedroom house in Fort Bragg with their parents. After graduating from high school, she married Aldo Luzzi. They lived in various logging camps along the North Coast until finally settling in Eureka to raise their four children. After 47 years of marriage, Aldo sadly passed in December 1984. Her life had another wonderful turn with the chance meeting of Orrin Sonberg in 1990. Orie & Mom brought happiness and companionship to each other until his death in October 2000. Mom enjoyed and supported her children and grandchildren through all phases of their lives. She was her family's biggest fan, which was apparent to all of us. She loved the many years of family week-ends on her property at Myers Flat, watching her four sons compete (often against each other) at Redwood Acres Raceway, turning from car races to horse racing with son Ray, gambling trips with daughter-in-law, Dianne, listening to the accordion music played weekly by son David, spaghetti feeds hosted by son Richard, vacationing with her daughter Rosemary & her family, and living next door to daughter Teri, allowed her to hear her grandchildren playing in the backyard. Mom was the queen of QVC shopping - she knew the operators on a first name basis. She very much enjoyed politics, especially at the national level. She loved, as she would say, "attending conventions" (via TV). But most of all, family gatherings meant everything to her. For the past two years, Mom lived at Fryes Care Home where she was loved and cared for by the exceptional staff. She is survived by her children- Ray & Melody Luzzi of Redwood Valley, David Luzzi of Fortuna, Richard Luzzi, Rosemary & Matt Kunkler, Dianne Luzzi, and Teri & Kevin Stites all of Eureka. Grandchildren - Alisa Jerland, Gina Luzzi, Angela Sousa, David Luzzi, Bill Luzzi, Brenna Carpenter, Michelle Hayes, Christina Graves, Jessalynn Kunkler, Whitney Kunkler, GP Robinson, Ryan Sanborn, & Tess Stites. Great grandchildren- Jessica & Justin Jensen, Madeline, Marlee, & Levi Luzzi, Lacy Conti & Chrissalyn Carpenter, Robert Hayes, Faith Miller & Wyatt Graves, Jenna Sadler & Matthew Kunkler, and Nikolas & James Kunkler, her sister & brother-in-law, Emma & Orville LeNoue, her very special friend, Pat Henricksen, and several nieces & nephews. Thank you can't begin to express our gratitude to Dollie Frye & her staff, as well as Hospice. Pallbearers will be her sons- Ray, David, Richard, & Matt and grandsons Bill & David. Honorary pallbearers will be her grandsons and great grandsons- GP, Ryan, Robert, Levi, Wyatt, Matthew, & Nikolas. Her smile was always on her face, right up to the last couple of earthly hours. She's now smiling constantly on all of us. Mom loved yellow, especially flowers. The next time you see a yellow flower, think of her. Arrangements are under the direction of Sanders Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm Friday, October 15 and the service will be on Saturday, October 16 at 11:00 am. Please sign the guest book at |

PEKIN, RICHARD J. (JERRY), D.D.S. April 8, 1930 to October 6, 2010 Dr. Richard J. Pekin's accomplishments were many, as was his enjoyment of a full and notable life. Born in Chicago, Ill., Jerry moved to Washington, D.C. and graduated in 1947 from the intellectually rigorous, Jesuit-run Gonzaga College High School. At his graduation ceremony, polite applause accompanied Jerry's first call to the stage for recognition as number one in the first academic discipline announced. The polite applause that accompanied his next trip to the stage turned into sustained laughter as he rose again and again to accept number one recognition in all of his classes. Precocious in other ways, Jerry married the 17-year-old Vera Claire Neubauer shortly out of high school and they had their first child in 1949. In short order, Jerry graduated from Georgetown University and, in 1954, from Georgetown University Dental School, where he was, now with four children and notwithstanding having worked full time for an electronics company throughout his graduate and post graduate studies, again number one in his class, and the youngest graduate in the history of the school. Go west, young man with family, to a place of unlimited opportunity. That was Jerry's plan, and his post-collegiate naval service obligation was his means. His commanding officer, well aware of Jerry's academic distinction and marvelous temperament, issued the coveted order to report to Camp Pendleton for "dental duty" and his family soon followed. (Jerry was the leader of the migration from the east coast to California of almost his entire and extensive family, including the branch represented by his sister Kathleen (Jill) Walsh and her husband Jack Walsh.) Jerry served two years at Camp Pendleton and was honorably discharged from the, with the rank of Lieutenant in 1956. Sadness and triumph filled the Camp Pendleton years. Sadness when Vera became seriously ill and the children were sent to live with their grandparents in Washington, D.C. while she recuperated, which was no sure thing. Triumph when she survived and the family was reunited. Jerry often said that when the family was reunited and began life in San Diego, it was the happiest time of their lives. In 1956, Jerry established his dental office in Allied Gardens, a new and growing community. (Around this time he and Vera had two more children, which completed their brood of six.) He served as the Chairman of the Ethics Committee of the San Diego County Dental Society for many years and retired in 1980 to travel the world and pursue his many interests. The finest dentists are, among other things, marvelous mechanics and engineers of the structures of the mouth. That Jerry was highly regarded for his dental craftsmanship is not surprising, for from his early days he was known as an electronic and mechanical genius. Interested in electricity from his teens, Jerry was soon making and repairing radios, and then televisions, amplifiers, appliances and cars. Until his health declined several years ago, it was exceedingly rare to find a repairman at the Pekin household - that job was handled by the master of the house. As his friends would say, "the guy has skills." One of the highest expressions of those skills was his construction in the 1980's of a single engine, two-seat, high performance aerobatic aircraft, which he flew throughout the country and often to Mexico for fishing trips with family and friends. During the aircraft construction he was pondering the design of a particular component, concluded a different approach would be better and suggested the same to the aircraft kit manufacturer, who incorporated the change in future versions of the aircraft. In addition to his power plane, Jerry flew gliders, soaring cross country throughout the western United States - a sport of skill and no small daring, especially in those pre-cell phone and pre-GPS days. Jerry knew how to have fun and loved to compete. He caddied as a youngster at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, and began to play golf seriously when he came to California. He carried a five to seven handicap for many years, playing out of Stardust Country Club in Mission Valley. He and his friends, including Dr. Don Keith and Ed Cuff, played in tournaments throughout California and in Las Vegas and Arizona. Golf is a gambler's game, and Jerry loved the pressure of the game and the camaraderie of his partners. He and Vera often travelled to tournaments together and had marvelous times. Deciding he had taken the game of golf as far as he could, Jerry stopped playing around 1980 and found a new sport - windsurfing. This was the early days of the one class design "Windsurfer" board, and there was a joyful culture of chasing the wind, camping at windy locations and racing throughout California. Lake Isabella, Lake Lopez, Hurricane Gulch and Bahia Santa Maria in Mexico were some of Jerry's many windsurfing trips, often taken with his sons. Nights were spent talking and laughing over campfires and wonderful friends were made. Jerry was a voracious reader, keenly interested in politics, economics, business and investments, international relations, etc. Friends and family spent many nights at Jerry and Vera's house discussing, dissecting and often loudly debating issues big and small over bottles of red wine. He was a learned man with judgment to spare; the go-to man for family and close friends for advice on important matters. Jerry lost Vera to cancer in 1990. In 1994, he married Ann King. They had wonderful times but decided to end the marriage in 2002. In his later years, Jerry was afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, which he suffered with dignity and humor. With our assistance and love in his final years, we, his children, hope we have repaid him in some small measure for the spirit, genes, love and everything else he has given us. Our good fortune in having him as a father is boundless. Jerry is survived by his six children, Richard J. (Duke) Pekin, Jr., David F. Pekin and Dennis J. Pekin, of San Diego, Catherine (Taffy) Long, of Hove, England, Linda J. Ryan of Maui, Hawaii, and Louise Ann Davis of Greensboro, North Carolina, and 14 grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters Jill Walsh and Pat Wylie, his brothers Dennis James Pekin and Patrick Michael Pekin, and the many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces and cousins in his wonderful family. A remembrance and celebration of a life well lived will be held at the San Diego Yacht Club, 1011 Anchorage Lane, San Diego, October 18, 2010, 11 a.m. |
