In Loving Memory of Amelia Ramos October 19, 1936 - April 3, 2010 Feliz Cumpleanos Mom You were born on October 19, 1936 in a pueblo called Mezquitic, Jalisco that rests in the embrace of the mountains, cooing in the song of its river. A town in intimacy and silence where the clamor of the world does not reach and where the soul of its residents makes them ponder important values, and with its climate, lifts the spirit. Mother you gave birth to five girls and three boys. We were your gift of gold that you cherished in your heart and soul. We were your pride and joy that kept you going through good times and rough times. Bakersfield is like your place in Mezquitic surrounded by mountains. Where the river flows bringing life to its destination. We your children do love you no matter what life brings. You never abandoned us and we will never abandon you. For you told us to care and help one another and to forgive. You taught us to pray not only for bad times, but for all times good and bad. When you were young you had to learn to survive at an early age. Life wasn't easy and it sure wasn't easy having 8 children. It was a struggle. But we thank the Lord who gave you the will and strength to have a family who loves you more than anything else in the world. Con mucho Amor de parte de tus hijos, Norberto, Carmen, Lupe, Ramon, Lydia, Irma, Gracie, Miguel |

Mom says that she knows it is not coincidence, it's just you letting us know you are there watching over us. I hope you are proud of the young women we have become. I know someday I will see you again. I love you. Your oldest daughter, Alexxis |

a true icon of the Humboldt County legal community, a man of many and varied talents and interests, and most of all, a family man who was blessed to spend 58 blissful years married to his college sweetheart, Janice I. Mitchell, passed peacefully on October 15, 2010 at age 83 surrounded by his family. Cliff was born in San Francisco on July 20, 1927. His father Emery moved the family to Humboldt County in the early 40's to pursue his legal career, and Cliff graduated from Eureka High School in 1945, lettering in football, basketball, baseball and tennis. After 2 years in the Navy, he spent two years at Humboldt State and then transferred to Stanford University, from which he obtained his B.A. in English in 1950, and later his law degree in 1953. While at Stanford Law School, he was an Editor of the Law Review alongside two eventual U.S. Supreme Court Justices (Rehnquist and O'Connor). Cliff joined his father in the Mitchell and Henderson law firm in 1953, which eventually became Mitchell, Dedekam and Angell, and now proudly still bears his father's name as Mitchell, Brisso, Delaney and Vrieze. His son William is currently a partner in the firm. He tried well over 100 jury trial cases, was recognized throughout Northern California as one of its very top trial attorneys, and was nominated to numerous national prestigious trial lawyer organizations, including the American College of Trial Lawyers, and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). One of his most significant, published cases was one which resulted in the first ever award of punitive damages against an insurance company in California, in which he represented a local woman who was unfairly denied disability benefits. He met his bride Janice Ide at Stanford while he was at Law School and she an undergrad, and they wed on August 16, 1952. After moving to Eureka, they raised four children, Cliff, William, Shelley and Steve, all graduates of Eureka High. In 1966, they purchased what he called his "little slice of heaven" on the Mad River beyond Kneeland. The family built a cabin to go along with the existing "White House", and four generations of Mitchells, including nephew Forrest Mitchell and his family and niece Millie, thoroughly enjoyed their summers along the mile of private river frontage for more than 40 years (hence the name "Mad Mile Ranch"). In 1989, they built their dream house in the hills of Arcata, nestled amongst the redwoods, and overlooking the Humboldt Bay, were he lived until his death. In the past 5 years, they enjoyed their retreats to the warmth of their condominium in Medford, frequently attending plays in Ashland. Away from home, Cliff and Jan traveled the world, including memorable trips to Greece, Egypt, Russia, France, China, Italy, England, Alaska, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Just 3 years ago, they summited the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru. Cliff was a master level chess player, having games published in chess magazines, tournament bridge player, astronomer, fly fisherman (including trips to Alaska, Montana and Christmas Island), competitive golfer and longtime member and past President of Baywood, and among the area's finest tennis players for many years. An avid reader and history buff, he was versed in everything from the Greek and Roman civilizations, the Civil War, World War II, Shakespeare, Robert Burns poems, to Raymond Carver short stories. He stood by his family through thick and thin. His brother Bernon caused an international stir when he left the United States for the Soviet Union in 1960 at the height of the Cold War, and while working as a cryptologist for the National Security Association, but Cliff remained loyal and close to his brother visiting and travelling with him on several occasions. He loved unconditionally his four children, and his daughters-in-law Oxana and Theresa Mitchell, and was immensely proud of his four grandchildren, Scott, Emily, Amy and Jenny Mitchell from Santa Rosa (Scott currently attending |

MURPHY, Dorothy Jewel 'Mimi' Mrs. Dorothy Jewel "Mimi" Murphy died peacefully at home in Rohnert Park on Saturday, October 9, 2010. She was 89. Family was very important to Mrs. Murphy, whom her family called Mimi. She was the matriarch of the Murphy clan of Sonoma County, and she loved nothing more than having her children, grand children, and great-grand children around her. She also loved a dry Martini with lots of olives, the drier the better, and a game of Pinochle with her friends in the Royal Oaks Mobile Home Park in Petaluma. Mrs. Murphy was born in 1921 in San Francisco and lived all her life in Northern California. In addition to the City By the Bay, she lived in Tiburon, Petaluma and Rohnert Park. In the early part of her life, Mrs. Murphy lived on The Avenues in San Francisco. Later she moved to Tiburon, where for more than 40 years she lived on Juno Road, near Blackie's Pasture, where she raised her three children and saw Marin County explode in growth. Her small home on Juno was for generations the gathering point for all holidays, and all members of the extended Murphy clan have fond memories of it, particularly the large (and loud) holiday dinners around the long table near the kitchen, and anyone who knew her will carry the memory of her belly laugh to their grave. Other staples of Mrs. Murphy's home were the ever-present bowls of candy that beckoned from the coffee table, the big backyard divided by a huge hedge and her ingenious way of hiding Easter eggs. She moved to Petaluma in 1987. While raising a family, Mrs. Murphy also worked for several years at Fidelity Savings and Loan in Mill Valley. Mrs. Murphy was married to her second husband, the late Joseph Murphy, for 56 years. They met shortly after World War II, where Joe had a distinguished military career that included extensive service in Northern Africa and Europe. After raising their family, Mrs. Murphy and her husband were avid square dancers for many years, crisscrossing the state in their RV to attend square dancing events. After her husband's death, Mrs. Murphy took many excursions with the Day Trippers group out of Santa Rosa. Mrs. Murphy's oldest son Joe, of Sebastopol, died in February 2008. She is survived by daughter Carole Bratton of Rohnert Park, her daughter De De Teeters of Seattle, son Tom Dunlap and wife Charlotte of Aptos and their son Paul; Carole's daughter Pamela Roth and her husband Robert of Rohnert Park, and their children Tim, Meghan and Caroline. Mimi is also survived by son Jon S. Murphy of Sacramento; Joe's wife Vicki of Sebastopol, daughter Molly and her husband John Eleen of Davis, and their daughter Kennedy; their son Ryan and his wife Elin of Point Arena, their children Sophia and Ethan. Mimi is also survived by many cousins and long-time friends. A memorial service will be Friday, October 22nd, at 2:00 p.m., at Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, 5475 Snyder Lane, Rohnert Park, CA.

December. 20 1946- October. 15, 2010 Liz died peacefully Friday afternoon, at home, with her family in attendance as they had been throughout her brief illness. When she received the diagnosis and its prognosis, in May, ofCreutzfeldt-Jakob disease she decided two things. First, she set about contacting friends from throughout her life hoping to hear from them and inviting those that could to come visit her while she still had the ability to get out and enjoy their company. A surprising number responded, coming from far and near, bringing much joy to her in the months she had left. They in return received joy and much inspiration from her spirited battle with this presently incurable disease. Second, she gave permission for herself and her records to be studied in the hope that Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease will someday be understood and families will no longer have to endure the ravages of this disease. Liz is survived by her husband Chuck, her daughter Jill and her sister Virginia Hanley. Her sisters-in-law Sue Sherrer, Jane Minor, and Jane's sister Virginia Rowen were devoted and much appreciated care givers, giving generously of their time and love to help out. Our heartfelt thanks go to them and the many neighbors, friends and relatives who became a steady stream of visitors bringing warm hugs, meals, gifts and "much Chocolate" thus brightening her often dreary Humboldt days. A Eureka native, Liz graduated from St. Bernard Schools of Eureka and Dominican University of San Rafael. She spent a number of years in Tucson, Arizona, where among other things she worked for the Mayor of Tucson. Wanting to be nearer family she moved to San Francisco where she worked for the Orthopedic Residency Training Program at St Mary's Hospital. After their marriage, she and Chuck returned to Eureka to raise a family. Here she worked for the Center For Child Advocacy, becoming the Director, and then worked as an independent contractor to the Superior Court of California Humboldt County until forced early retirement. She will be remembered for her wit, intelligence, creative style and her devotion to family, friends and coworkers. She was a world traveler; some memorable trips included Scotland with five cousins searching out their ancestral home, Italy, joining Jill who studied there one summer and Paris with her sister and their daughters after Jill graduated from the University of Arizona She was a creative and outstanding cook, a book artist and member ofNORBAG, a letter writer who never forgot a birthday, an avid reader and longtime Book Club member who kept a record of every book she ever read. A Service for Elizabeth will be held at St Bernard Church on Friday October 22, 2010 at 2PM. The family requests that in lieu of flowers a donation, in Liz's name, be made to Hospice of Humboldt, the Caring Bridge web site or a charity of your choice. |

You could catch him riding around his orchard with his dogs, boy did he love his dogs! He built a huge shop and that is where he enjoyed spending his free time. He loved working on trucks and tractors, anything mechanical to say the least. Fred loved watching 50's televisions shows and listening to 50's music. Everyone knows that if you wanted to get Fred wound up, just start talking politics with him! Another thing Fred enjoyed was being on the computer. He loved researching political issues, finding jokes to email everyone, and keeping in touch with his family and friends.

MS began to take its toll and Glen became increasingly paralyzed. Undaunted by his situation, he continued to be active trying to help other people. He was instrumental in the founding of Summer Fun Day Camp for handicapped children in Ventura County, promoted the MS read-a-thon program by going into classrooms to talk to students about the importance of reading, and worked at Peach Hill School as a volunteer in his son's classroom., Glen continued to be a joyous person centered on the love of his family and his love of learning. He was a "happy warrior" who was admired for an against all odds positive attitude. His homemade Christmas cards brought joy and laughter while symbolizing the courage of a man who was defined by his character and not his circumstances. He will be sorely missed, but we all take comfort that he is whole again with God., The family would like to say a special thanks to Kenzie Griffin for his amazing friendship. Your calls and visits meant everything to Glen. Glen's wife Judy would also like to thank Bruce Zander for his friendship and visits to Glen and especially for introducing her to Glen back in beautiful Boulder. Dr. Li, Dr. Shanta, and many other dedicated doctors worked over the years to give Glen more time and are greatly appreciated., Glen's funeral will be Saturday, October 23, at Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills in Burbank at 11 a.m. The service is graveside at the Lincoln Terrace. |

Leon T. Corones, a 45-year resident of Oxnard died peacefully on Aug. 28, 2009 in San Diego after suffering a fall in May., Born in Long Beach July 7, 1925, Leon spent his formative years in Indio and Blythe graduating from Palo Verde High School in Blythe in 1943. He was a 4-year letterman in football and high point man his senior year along with playing a mean trumpet in the school band. He served in the US Navy from November 1943 to March 1946 stationed in San Diego and Norman, Okla., While in the Navy he married Emily Louise Miller from Ripley, Calif., whom he had met in High School. After Navy Life Leon graduated from Riverside College and also obtained his pilot's license using the GI Bill. Returning to Blythe he joined the Riverside County Sheriff's Office as a Deputy. Still dreaming of flying for a living he was hired as a "Crop Duster" by one of the local companies, obtained five years of crop dusting experience and then opened and operated his own business, Custom Aerial Applicators, until moving to Oxnard in 1964. For the next 45 years he was involved in a series of lifelong learning experiences working throughout California, Arizona and Hawaii as a "Crop Duster" and private pilot flying 25 different types of agriculture airplanes and over 30 types of "Private Aircraft" including helicopters. Costal Ag Chemicals, Tom Shannon, Atwood, Shasta Helicopters, Custom Farm Services, Tom Singleton and Murray Air were companies he was employed by in three states. He also was employed by Delta Horticulture Services and Cal Alaska Helicopters later in life but not as a pilot. His last paid flying assignment in 1995 was his "Dream Job" in Hawaii on Oahu and Kauai flying helicopters for the sugar cane and pineapple growers., He was 70 years old and assumed that he was "too old" to get the job. When asked by a friend to come over to Hawaii and see what the job involved and how things worked he discovered that he would be the youngest pilot on the crew and immediately accepted the job. He then spent the next 18 months in "Heaven," flying helicopters and actually getting paid to do it! Over the years he had survived a couple of plane crashes and one helicopter crash and walked away to fly another day., He purchased a 1958 172 Cessna and, with his friend Barry Dalwig's help, rebuilt/restored the plane and named it "Maggie D." This was his pride and joy and he spent the last 10 years flying around the country visiting friends and relatives., His last solo flight in "Maggie D" was in November of 2007 to Blythe for a high school reunion. During his days in Blythe it was not uncommon for him to land his plane out in the middle of the desert on a short, narrow, fairly flat "Hog Back" as they were called to drop off his wife and father-in-law so they could prospect for a few hours., He was also blessed with exceptional eyesight which allowed him to locate downed airplanes, lost vehicles and hikers in the desert areas when performing Civil Air Patrol duties. He was an "Excellent and Skilled Pilot.", In addition to flying, Leon enjoyed deer hunting in Utah and Colorado, 4-Wheel drive expeditions, hiking and camping with his children and friends. He also participated in many Elderhostel trips with high school friends to places like Copper Canyon, Mexico, Canyon lands, Utah, Hawaii and a Mississippi River barge trip. A Military Service was held at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego in October 2009 in which a portion of his ashes were entombed there. The remaining ashes were spread over the Big Maria mountains just north of Blythe in April 2010., His sense of humor and good nature were traits well known around the Oxnard Airport for the last 45 years and will surely be missed by all . He was preceded in death by his younger son, John Clayton Corones, in 2001., His former wife, Emily Corones, has passed since Leon died. He is survived by Jim Corones, brother, of El Segundo; Marian Robinson, sister, of San Diego; Joe Corones and Felly Parel, son and daughter-in-law of San Diego; Cathy and Howard Markle, daughter and son-in-law, of Blythe. He also leaves nieces, Laraine Daniels and Denise Casinelli; grandchildren, Sara Grim, Amy Roark and Andi Watt; and great-grandchildren, Candice Denwiler, Jessie Grim, Rose Grim, Dylan Kaminski and Tommy Roark., A "Celebration of Life" gathering to honor the memory of Leon T. Corones will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010 in Oxnard at "The Courtyard by Marriott" located at 600 East Esplanade Dr., Oxnard, CA 93036. Please stop by and say hello and join us for refreshments. Contact Joe Corones at 858-603-5545 for information. |

Luanne E. Gilbert June 12, 1934 - Sept. 5, 2010 Surrounded by her family, Luanne died peacefully at home on a sunny afternoon after a long battle with progressive MS. Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Luanne excelled academically, graduating first in her high school class. She was awarded a four year scholarship to Mills College, where as a prize-winning poet, she received both her BA and MA (English Literature) in 1958. In late December of 1955, she married Jerry Sidman, a brilliant young chemist at Berkeley. After a year together in Cambridge, England, they returned to America where Luanne completed her degree at Mills, while Jerry remained on the East Coast to establish his academic career. Upon her return to the East Coast with their infant daughter, she learned that he had been killed in a car accident, enroute to meet her.

Music was another life-long love and she was an early and ardent supporter of Chanticleer, Philharmonia Baroque, the American Bach Soloists, and other groups.

deKOZAN, RAYMOND L. Raymond L. deKozan of San Diego, California, died Friday at his home, surrounded by his family, after a brief illness. Born in Richmond, Virginia, February 21, 1936, to Levon and Ruth deKozan, Mr. deKozan will be most remembered as a voracious reader and student of history, with tremendous recall and an ability to put history's lessons to work both in business and in his approach to life. These gifts contributed to his monumental successes in establishing and growing the successful Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., one of the three major businesses of Cubic Corporation, one of San Diego's top companies, founded by Walter J. Zable in 1951. Mr. deKozan met Ann Cracovaner while obtaining his degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Virginia, and they married on August 9, 1957. First employed by Glen L. Martin in Baltimore later in the year, his work on the space program had him moved to Cape Canaveral in 1958. Within the year he was recruited by Ryan Aeronautical and moved his wife and newborn Suzanne, his first of three children, to San Diego. He worked for Ryan until joining Cubic in 1960. With a keen intellect and a natural instinct for assessing and interacting with people, he became an extremely effective leader and tactician. Mr. deKozan was a highly respected member of the international transit community and was often referred to as the father of modern automatic fare collection. His charismatic leadership of Cubic Transportation Systems spanned four decades and under his watchful eye, the company grew from one small contract for Illinois Central Gulf Railroad to a worldwide leader in the industry with annual sales of $400 million, clients on four continents, and showcase reference projects including New York's MetroCard system and the Oyster smart card system operating on London's Underground and Bus networks. Along the way, Mr. deKozan moved office and home to whatever project needed his personal attention. These included two tours in London, England, as well as New York City and Hong Kong. In 1991, following a well publicized contract pursuit for the New York program, he was named Headliner of the Year by the San Diego Press Club. After his last stint in London, Mr. deKozan returned to San Diego and was appointed a corporate senior group vice president, with oversight responsibility for the transportation company. He also oversaw the company's research and development for the defense and transportation security markets. Upon retirement in January of this year, Mr. deKozan remained a consultant to the company and advised on long-term strategy and potential acquisitions. Fittingly, on his last business trip for Cubic in June of this year, he visited his father's homeland in Armenia to review a company that Cubic had recently purchased. Up until his death he was a vocal supporter for Armenian rights and was an advocate for water rights for the San Joaquin Valley, where a number of Armenians, including members of his extended family, long ago settled to farm. He remained on the Cubic board of directors until his death on October 15th. He is mourned by his family and friends all over the world, as well as the 1,500 employees of Cubic Transportation Systems whom he led much of his adult life. But by his family, he will be forever remembered as an extremely dedicated husband and father, who was affectionately referred to as Yogi for he was smarter than the average bear. He was ferociously loyal to his employees who remember him as much for his disarming wit and charm, as well as his keen mind for details and an encyclopedic recall of facts and figures. In particular, he will be remembered for his love of baseball, for which he could recite from memory obscure baseball statistics from years ago. He followed the New York Yankees religiously and his mood could be determined on how well the Yankees performed the night before. The irony of a self-proclaimed Southern Democrat from Dixie who loved the Yankees was not lost on his many colleagues and friends. As a tribute for their love and affection for Mr. deKozan, the Cubic Transportation Systems world headquarters on Kearny Mesa Road in San Diego will be dedicated in his honor. He is survived by his wife, Ann, and their three children, Suzanne, 52; David, 48; and Lisa 44, along with his four grand-daughters Natalie, 14; Marielle, 11; Nicole, 8, and Mia, 7, his brother Paul and sister in law Ronnie of Atlanta, Georgia, his cousin Clara of San Antonio, Texas, his aunt Alice, and her two daughters Paulette and Sonya of Selma, CA. Memorial services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, October 22nd, at the Rolando Methodist Church, 4799 Seminole Drive (cross street El Cajon Blvd.). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to San Diego Hospice or the Scripps Research Institute. |

WILLIAM F. ALLEWELT MAY 29, 1926 - OCT 15, 2010 William F. (Bill) Allewelt died October 15, 2010 in Davis, where he had made his home since 1994. He was born in Sacramento May 29, 1926, to William Sr. and the former Alta Jane Clapp. He entered the, Air Corps following graduation from C.K. McClatchy High School. WW II ended before he could complete aviation cadet training, and the GI Bill brought him to UC Davis. At Davis he served in student government for six of his seven semesters on campus, first as editor of the Cal Aggie newspaper and then as student body president. In 1949, he married his deeply loved life companion, Jean Mitchell of San Francisco. The couple made their first home in Berkeley where he completed his degree in agricultural economics at UC Berkeley. Their following five years were in southern California where he served with federal marketing orders for Oranges and Walnuts. In 1955, he joined Turlock Cooperative Growers, a canning cooperative in Modesto, and became its General Manager just weeks after arriving. In 1963, TCG merged with a companion cooperative to form Tri Valley Growers, headquartered in San Francisco. He served first as its General Manager and later as chief executive officer from 1966 until retiring in 1985. During his tenure TVG grew to become the state's largest canning firm with operations exclusively in California. The San Francisco Business Times named him as one of the 100 most influential business people of the Bay Area's 20th Century. Shortly after retiring, he was engaged as interim CEO by Sun-Diamond Growers of California to lead that cooperative's recovery from a near disastrous setback caused by faulted accounting. Sun-Diamond managed the businesses of Diamond Walnut Growers, Hazelnut Growers of Oregon, Sun-Maid Growers, Sunsweet Growers and Valley Fig Growers. After reestablishing Sun-Diamond's financial integrity, he presided over a reorganization that returned its cooperatives to operating independence. Thereafter he served as a board member at Diamond Walnut Growers until it became a publicly owned company in 2006. In 1988, he was elected a founding board member of CoBank, headquartered in Denver and formed by merger of former regional banks for cooperatives of the Farm Credit System. He retired in 1996 as its vice chair. Numerous involvements in community and industry affairs commenced with election in 1960 as the youngest chair ever to serve the Canners League of California, now the League of California Food Processors. The following year he was named Foreman of the Stanislaus County Grand Jury. After relocating to San Francisco he served on the board of that city's Boys and Girls Club until 1985. Upon moving to Davis, he soon joined the board of Yolo Hospice, retiring as its vice president in 2003. His compelling attachments to UC Davis were expressed during career years advocating the canning industry's financial support of vital research in its Food Sciences Department. Later he served full tenures on the board of the Cal Aggie Alumni Association and as a trustee of the UC Davis Foundation. He also chaired the major gifts committee funding the UC Davis Alumni and Visitors Center. In 1985, he was appointed a charter member of the advisory board to the UC Agricultural Issues Center where he served as its chair until electing to step down in 2000 to serve as its vice chair until fully retiring in 2007. In 1991 Allewelt was named by the chief executives of the University of California and California State University systems to chair a commission of academicians and industry representatives charged to recommend means to preserve the quality and effectiveness of their respective agricultural programs despite greatly reduced state funding. The commission's report was published two years later, pointedly urging top officers ofthe two systems to proactively facilitate cooperation and collaboration between the two programs to enhance their effectiveness. The Allewelts are charter members of the UC Davis Chancellor's Club and are benefactors of the UC Davis Alumni and Visitors Center, the UC Agricultural Issues Center, the Mondavi Performing Arts Center, the UC Berkeley Library and Botanical Garden, and scholarships with the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and UC Davis Medical School. The latter is a memorial to their son, Thomas Kurt Allewelt, who predeceased him at age 43 in 2005. Bill loved all sports and the outdoors and was passionately attached to fishing. He took great pleasure from having introduced his son, sons-in-law and grandsons to the sport, imbuing them with shared passions for time spent on western trout streams or salmon fishing in Alaskan waters. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jean, and their beloved daughters: Susan Allewelt Rosenberg of Sacramento, her husband Chuck, grandsons Eric and Nathan and great- grandsons Austin and Colin; Melanie Allewelt Hoff of Ann Arbor, her husband Curtis and grandchildren Tyler and Emily; and Elizabeth Allewelt Smith of Davis, her husband Clifford and grandsons Brian, Cameron and Andrew. Memorial services will be private. For remembrances, the family suggests donations to The Yolo Compassionate Friends, Yolo Hospice, or in support of any of the Allewelts' UC endowment interests. |
