Anthony Lopez, On June 2nd 1955 a son was born to Esperanza & Ranulfo Lopez in San Jose, CA. Being the middle child as he would put it "a very mischievous little one". Being very creative even at an early age many stories ended with him running away & laughing. Still growing up in San Jose he attended & graduated from James Lick High School. Our fathers love for fruit & vegetables lead him to the flea market where he took great pride in his fruit & vegetable displays & produce signs. At the flea market is where he met the woman he was going to marry Rebecca Benitez. He also attended the academy where he became a deputy sheriff then settled in a civil dept. where he worked with the DA in the family court division. I his second daughter still remember the night after his completion of the academy showing me all his gear, I was so amazed & proud of my dad., Our father had 4 children Christina, Becky, Priscilla & Tony. Our dad brought up his children with a strong Christian faith, morals, a great work ethic, love & mixed with a lot of humor. His son who was told "his great pride & joy" was involved in every aspect of his journey through manhood from sports to even a hug when needed our dad knew the importance of being a father. I, his first born, remember all the words of wisdom that my father shared with me, especially on the night before my wedding. We were his wagon of six wheels strong & knew how to be a family. When the grandchildren came along his world lit up with all 9 grandchildren. Our dad never used drugs or drank a day of his life. He wanted to have a clear head & memory and that he did. He wanted to stay strong for his grandchildren, Sunday were their special day. Our dad enjoyed many hours of wood working in his own work shop. He also enjoyed boxing, walking & biking. He even walked so far down Alum Rock that he had to call his 3rd daughter Priscilla to pick him to bring him back home. Our father showed us so much love throughout our lives, he with our mother showed us how to stick together., On October 23rd 2009 around 7:30pm my fathers life was taken from us by an act my father despised, a drunk driver. Our father was doing nothing more but coming home from dinner, stopped at a red light on Alum Rock Ave & Foss Ave a street that had many great memories for our dad. A street he took many times is now a street our family can't bring ourselves to go down. It's been 1 year without our dad our protector., He will be forever missed & never forgotten. He has earned the right to have the respect from all who have had the pleasure of knowing him. There will never be another Anthony Lopez. They don't make them like that anymore and he would have wanted it that way., Dad you are always in our thoughts until we see you again in heaven, we love you dad! "The Lopez Gang of 6". |

He was an avid stamp collector for over 50 years, but did not limit his collecting activities to stamps. He was well known for collecting diverse items such as coins, rocks, and sometimes just plain junk, and he and Dale loved to prowl through garage sales in search of interesting things. Chris led an active life, often demonstrating more energy than those much younger, and was actually recently observed climbing trees in his back yard to prune branches. He brought warmth and joy into every life that he touched, always upbeat, always with a smile and a joke, a "scratch and sniff sticker", care packages for grandchildren away at college, and sabotaging mail and packages by enclosing glitter that spilled out all over the unwary recipient. He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed, but is undoubtedly somewhere enjoying unlimited quantities of peanut brittle and ice cream.

CLYDE LEWIS WOODS JUN 30, 1939 - OCT 19, 2010 C Dub (CW), as many of his friends knew him, died Tuesday Oct 19, 2010 at the age of 71. He was doing the thing he loved the most, riding around working on the ranch. It was ahobby to most, but he loved gardening and watching things grow. Of course the weeds had to be pulled, too. It did not matter that they made spray for killing weeds; he enjoyed the feeling of pulling an area of weeds and the great sense of accomplishment he received from it. He also enjoyed fishing and camping. Some of his fondest memories are from camping trips at Frenchman's Lake and Mc Swain Reservoir. He loved to troll fish for trout, but would fish for anything if the fish were biting. Born in Henrietta, OK, he moved to California as a child during the Dust Bowl. He lived in Riverbank and Oakdale most of his life. He worked at Circle AW Products in Modesto for many years.

Robert Bruce Crowder Loving son, brother, uncle, friend, world traveler, diver, cultivator of orchids, baker of cookies. Born September 11, 1948 in San Francisco. Died October 17, 2010 while vacationing in Indonesia. Growing up in Walnut Creek, CA and Huntington, NY, Bobby collected rocks, bugs, and injured birds fueling a healthy curiosity of the natural world that would be a theme throughout his life When the Giants moved to San Francisco, Bobby, living in New York, became an ardent fan. One of his prized possessions was a baseball autographed by the entire 1962 team. Years later when Bobby moved back to the bay area, he became a season ticket holder, attending many spring training camps and knew that 2010 could be their year (like every other year). After leaving John Glenn High School in 1966 Bobby embarked on a long string of adventures starting with attending the University of Delaware, then his move back to the Bay Area. He served in the US Navy working on computers in nuclear submarines. He spent many summers searching for gold in the high Sierras, traveled throughout Mexico each fall and spent winters skiing in Squaw Valley. He received his BS degree in Biology from the University of Oregon in1977 and managed the Chi Omega sorority to its first appearance in the softball intramurals final. Soon thereafter he settled in Sausalito, CA and began a career in residential real estate with Frank Howard Allen in Greenbrae. He loved the people he worked with and built longstanding friendships with many of his clients who became extended members of his family. For Bobby, life was all about his family and friends. He was accepting and supportive of everyone and welcomed new members with open arms. As a friend you could also expect him to call you out when you needed it and trusted his motivation in doing it. Each Christmas Bobby would disappear for a few days reemerging with 150 dozen of his patent pending oatmeal cookies. You knew you were in good standing when he counted out your dozen. Bobby looked out for all his friends and family. Bob's greatest passions were scuba diving and underwater photography. He dived extensively in the Pacific, venturing to Palau, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Marshall Islands, and Fiji. He also dived in the Caymans, the Dominican Republic, and Baja California. Having been on thousands of dives, in recent years he became increasingly concerned as he witnessed increasing ecological damage to the undersea environment. Preventing the destruction of coral reefs due to blast fishing and agricultural runoff, and stopping the decimation of shark populations to satisfy the growing appetite for shark fin soup were of immense importance to Bob. When he wasn't diving, Bob developed a green thumb. An active member of the Marin Orchid Society, Bobby cultivated and nurtured over 500 Orchids at his Sausalito home. When not at home, he could be found in his parents' garden tending the raspberries, strawberries and vegetables and harvesting its bounty for the family. Bobby never met a tomato he didn't like. Bobby is survived by his parents, Jackie and Bob Crowder of Belvedere/Tiburon, his sister Sally Leonard of San Francisco, brother Jimmy Crowder and sister-in-law Gina Crowder of Portland, sister Peggy Campbell and brother-in-law Bill Campbell of Colorado Springs, niece Meagan Crowder of Denver, CO, nephew Nick Leonard of San Francisco, and nephew Bobby Crowder of Portland, OR. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions in Bob's name be made to Coral Reef Alliance www.coral.org or Shark Savers www.sharksavers.org. |

Regina Caroline Hulsy December 23, 1915 - October 18, 2010 Services for Regina Hulsy will take place Monday, October 25, at Christ the King Catholic Church, 1800 Bedford Way, Bakersfield, CA. Recitation of the Rosary will be at 12:30 p.m. and Mass of Christian Burial at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow immediately at Greenlawn Cemetery, 3700 River Blvd. Regina Caroline Hulsy was born in San Francisco on December 23, 1915, the first of five children born to Rose and John Scott. She was baptized at St. Brigid's and attended St. Brigid's School until the second grade, when her father, Chief Engineer of the Port of San Francisco, after his son's diagnosis of hyperactivity, took the recommendation of his son's doctor to move his family out of the city. John's new job, as Pipeline Manager with Associated Oil, took the family to the "country" and the numerous pipeline stations up and down the state, including McKittrick, Taft, Halfway Station, Nichols, and Patterson. Regina dearly loved her brothers, Jack, Bill, and baby Walter, who died of polio, and her little sister Jeanette. She was a great help to her mother with the little ones. She was an outstanding student, with a photographic memory and a special love of literature. She was promoted several times and graduated at 16 at the top of her class at Patterson High School. Regina returned to her beloved San Francisco for college, earning a degree in English from San Francisco State and a teaching credential from University of California at Berkeley. The job market was tight in those Depression years, so she was happy when Superintendent Spindt offered her a part-time job teaching History at Kern County Union High School; fortunately, the job became full-time on the second day of the semester. She arrived in Bakersfield by train dressed like a San Franciscan, wearing a yellow wool suit, with a beaver hat, leather gloves, and alligator shoes. That September heat was a true welcome to Bakersfield! Regina loved her students, teaching all her classes in a tent in Elm Grove. A well-regarded teacher, she was offered the job of chairman of the History Department at soon-to-open East Bakersfield High School. She was honored by Californian columnist Jim Day as one of Bakersfield's ten most beautiful young women. Regina's life took an important turn when she met young attorney William R. Hulsy on a blind date. Their happy marriage produced three sons and a daughter and lasted until Bill's death in 1982. No man could ever compare to Bill in Regina's eyes! The war years were spent near Washington, D.C. where Bill served in the, as an attorney for the O.P.A. Back in Bakersfield, the couple enjoyed family camping trips, Las Amigas Dance Club, East Bakersfield Lion's Club activities, their wonderful neighbors in La Cresta, and their travels to Europe. She treasured seeing her relatives at the bi-annual Scott Family Picnic. After her father's death, Regina's mother happily lived out her life with Regina and Bill in Bakersfield. Regina was actively involved in the community, serving as President of Longfellow School P.T.A., for years as an election precinct worker, and as President of the Assistance League of Bakersfield, where her heart was touched by helping the Operation School Bell children. She enjoyed her Bridge Club friends and belonged to a knitting club Bill referred to as "The Knitting Bags," whose members chatted more than knitted! She was a loving fifty-plus year member of Chapter IW P.E.O. and an active participant in the IW Book Club. Regina loved leading local students on tours of the court house; in her 80's she served on the Kern County Grand Jury. She supported and encouraged her children in all their endeavors, serving as room-mother, Brownie leader, and den-mother many times over. She delighted in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was totally devoted to her Catholic faith. Regina was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; her brothers Jack, Bill, and Walter; and her grandson, Stephen Hulsy. She is survived by her sister, Jeanette Macaulay of Sonoma; sister- in-law, Rita Scott of Alameda; and her sons, William S. Hulsy (Karen) of Laguna Hills, Robert S. Hulsy (Kathe) of Morristown, New Jersey, James R. Hulsy (Bonny) of Bakersfield; daughter, Barbara Fowler (Gary) of Bakersfield; and grandchildren, William Hulsy (Catharine), Eric Hulsy (Sara), Edward Hulsy (Eden), Mary Hulsy Hulse (Lincoln), Robert Hulsy, Michael Hulsy (Meaghan), Patrick Hulsy, Brenna Fowler-Charatsaris (Christopher), Shannon Fowler-Gormley (Brendan), Ryan Alsop (Melissa), Chase Alsop, Kaitlin Hulsy, and Caroline Hulsy. She had 14 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. The Hulsy children appreciate the wonderful care given to their mother by Dr. William Baker, Jr. and Dr. Sam Singh, the angelic kindness of Lorraine Abbot and Carol Villarreal, and the helpfulness of Ana and Felicia of Hoffman Hospice.

Susie Frances Norma Benskin, 85, widow of Stan Benskin, died peacefully Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010. She was at her home at the Oaks in San Luis Obispo listening to one her favorites, "The Three Tenors in Rome." Stan and Susie loved their 30 years in Morro Bay and were active as Friends of the Morro Bay Library. They spent many hours playing golf and helping with golf events. She taught junior golf and volunteered at the Natural History Museum. She loved animals, jazz, opera and the Central Coast and was known for her one liners. Susie lived with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) for eight years and was disappointed that an aggressive thyroid cancer would be the cause of her demise. She looked forward to spending the day with her ''friends,'' the staff at French Hospital in Day Stay, during her frequent blood transfusions and adored her nurse and ''buddy,'' Helen. Beautiful surroundings and the fun folks at the Oaks made her final two and a half years quite enjoyable. Susie is survived by her son, Jeff of New Orleans, La.; daughter, Debbie of South Pasadena, Calif.; and grandsons Malcolm and Alex. Remembrances, in lieu of flowers, should go to the AA and MDS International Foundation, |

Theresa was born June 4, 1925 in Sunrise, Wyoming and moved to Sugarite, New Mexico at the age of two. She lived there until she was sixteen and then her family moved to San Pedro, CA. She graduated from San Pedro High School in 1942, met and married and loved the same man, Martin Skubik, until he passed away in 1975. She passed away October 16, 2010 in Torrance, CA. Theresa is survived by daughter, Marsha Mix of Lake Arrowhead, Sheryle Bird of Huntington Beach, Carolyn Daddario of San Pedro; and sons, Martin Skubik, Jr., Art Skubik and Jerry Skubik of San Pedro. Her example of compassion and sacrifice is an inspiration to family and friends. "Always taking care of others," many would say about the life of Theresa Skubik. Not too many people have the heart the size of hers, well, with the exception of Mother Theresa. Her six children all agree that her influence had been totally first-rate. We have benefited from her strong example, endurance and honesty. The meals she prepared daily, doctor appointments and the planned birthday parties that were always appreciated and will never be forgotten. We would like to thank her for not only being a great mother, but a kind, loving person who never criticized, but used praise instead. Ask any one of her adoring grandchildren, Tava, Philip, Kristin and Caroline or great-grandchildren, Hudson and Reece. As a mother, she had to fill many shoes such as nurse, teacher, cook, taxi driver, hostess, adviser, encourager and listener. She had filled out hearts with so much happiness by making the world a brighter place to live in. They don't make mother's like her anymore and we hope she can understand how proud we will always be to have a special mother who means so much to us. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in San Pedro. Please sign the guestbook at |

William Jack Miller was born April 1, 1930 in Danville, Ill. The son of Homer and Agnes Miller, Jack was the third of four boys. Oldest was Gerald then Edward, Jack and Melvin. Jack grew up a true country boy playing and working in the fields of Danville and winning ribbons for his horse riding and roping from a very young age. He also found himself becoming a young entertainer singing with his aunt Virginia on a weekly radio program., But his life really began to change when he joined the Navy right out of high school in 1947 to see the world. Jack found many fond memories as a crew member of the USS Missouri - the Mighty Mo. Fighting in the Korean war he traveled throughout Asia as well as Europe. It was during those long voyages that he taught himself to play the guitar. He was a true fan of Country Western music and was so thrilled to have discovered that you could play nearly any country song using only three cords., He landed in many exotic ports during his time in the Navy but he found the girl of his dreams, Jeanne Semaria, right back in the USA on a blind date in 1950. It was in August of that same year that they were married, the beginning of 60 wonderful years together. They were married in Norfolk but soon moved to Jeannes hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y. Their first child, Cherie, came along in 1953 and two years later it was Debby, then Brian, and then Danny born in 1969., While living in New York, Jack put that guitar to good use and played in a Coney Island Honky Tonk called The Eagle Bar under the stage name "Billy Jack." Not only could he earn a little extra money to help raise his young family, but he was able to do something he loved in the process. It was the spring of 1968 when Jack decided to move his family west for a better life (and to get away from the cold winters!). Having worked multiple jobs those first couple of years, he finally landed at Los Angeles County Medical Center where he worked for 20 years before retiring in 1990., The last 20 years Jack has spent with his sweetheart and watching his 11 grandchildren grow. He and Jeanne traveled to many places around the world and particularly loved taking cruises racking up 19 cruises altogether from Alaska to Greece. In addition to traveling, he loved working in his garden, trips to Las Vegas, reading western novels and joke books and of course playing his guitar for his family, a memory that will never be forgotten., Jack died Oct. 15, 2010 after a very brief battle with cancer. |
