Our dear wife, mother and friend, Betty June Cass Carminati, 83, passed on Monday, Nov. 8, 2010, in Templeton. Born to Alta and Hank Cass in 1927, Betty was a direct descendent of Captain James Cass, who established Cayucos in the 1870s, and Henry Veach, one of the early residents of Bradley. She spent most of her early years in Bradley and Pacific Grove, Calif., until she met Waldo Carminati. That was the beginning of a true love story that spanned over six decades. Betty was a people person, who was always there for family and friends. Her caring and loving character endeared her to everyone. She had quite a humorous side too. Her favorite outing was the annual family reunion at Easter. No one could possibly compete with her skits and outfits, and card games, especially Pedro, were taken seriously - she played them with gusto. For 25 years, she was a staple at the California Mid-State Fair, where she made hamburgers for the masses. It was said that many fairgoers went to the fair only to purchase a hamburger at the Burger Barn (and her recipe for her secret sauce was never revealed). Her other endeavors included the Big Orange in Bradley, the Tumbleweed in Paso Robles and a stint as a telephone operator at Camp Roberts. We will cherish many warm and fun memories of Mom - she made us smile and was our best friend. Betty is survived by her husband, Waldo Carminati; two daughters Nanci Bernard and Cindy Wittstrom (Karl); grandchildren Randy Bernard (Cameo), Tami Bernard Nicholas, Chad Wittstom (Olivia), Amanda Wittstrom Higgins (Sam) and Heidi Wittstrom Sill (Joseph); and great-grandchildren Priscilla Bernard, Alexandra Bernard, Ryan Perryman, Grace Wittstrom, Cody Sill, Macoy Sill, Bronson Nicholas and Heston Nicholas.

Gould, Danny April 28, 1921 - November 4, 2010 Danny Gould was born with a song in his heart, and from his earliest days never stopped singing or playing it. As a teen in Brooklyn, he played his arguably un-cool accordion at Bar Mitzvah parties. Only he could turn the experience into the ultimate of coolness. In World War II, he took to entertaining his buddies, bringing joy to nights filled with boredom, exhaustion, and fear. At social events wherever he went, Danny became the life of the party. Wherever a crowd would gather, he would be there, singing songs, telling stories, bringing others into the fun, so it became about them, not him. With his prodigious talent for music, his knowledge of compositions, his ability to analyze any musical subject, he did what few are able to do: he made a living following his passion. Danny attended Boys' High School in Brooklyn, New York (where he was later honored as Man of the Year) and New York University. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the army and served three years in the Pacific. Following WWII, Danny came to Los Angeles to pursue his career. He began in the recording industry as a composer, arranger, lyricist, pianist and conductor, and transitioned into the television and motion picture industry. After five years at Paramount Studios, he accepted what was to be a two-week temporary gig at Warner Bros., and ended up spending 39 there, where he rose to the position of Vice President of Music. He reveled in the intellectual challenges, creative opportunities and dedicated camaraderie with his Warner Bros. family, particularly his associate of over 20 years, Joseph Bille. The word "retirement" was never in his vocabulary and he worked tirelessly until age 88. Danny Gould lived a life of kindness. He found joy in helping others and loved to help fellow musicians get work. You could call him up and say you were the friend of a friend... of a friend... of a friend, and he would invite you over to the studio for the grand tour. Visiting Danny began with the tour around the office, then down to the golf cart where he would tour you through the back-lots, then over to lunch at the commissary where he ruled through his smile and his warmth. Your tour would conclude witnessing the filming of, or scoring of, one of the studio's newest creations. Danny's kindness was extended through his legendary thank you notes. You could catch a glimpse of Danny's kindness, on Shabbat morning after attending shul. He would go over to the Veteran's Hospital or the Motion Picture Hospital, just to visit whomever was there. Often he would go over to the piano, to play for them. Funny and warm-hearted, Danny would shine his light on a 1 year old as he taught this mere child to play piano. Or on the janitor at Warner Bros. who he treated with the same warmth and kindness he showed to the studio heads. Or to mere strangers on the street for whom he brought a smile. Back before cell phones, Danny kept an old telephone handset between the seats of his car. Rolling up at a red light, he would pick up the phone, mimic talking into it, and then, catching the eye of the person in the car next to him, he would roll down the window, extend the receiver and yell "It's for you!" Gregarious and kind, Danny loved life and lived it to the fullest. This was a man who always said that there is "never any reason to be bored." He was up on the latest performers, knowing the newest musicians of his grandchildren's generation. He was a fanatical book collector, often driving Donna, his wife of 59 years, crazy with his continual purchases. Once Donna ran over to Duttons, a local East Valley bookstore, and made them promise that next time they saw Danny coming, they would turn the sign in the window to "Closed." Calling them a "great team," Danny credits Donna and her "woman's intuition" with their success. While Danny concentrated on work, he turned the household and their social life over to Donna. His children - Sherey and Les - call him the perfect father. He was always supportive, non-judgmental, willing to help you through a jam. Back in the day, children used to watch TV shows and fantasize that their fathers would be more like the idealized fathers on the television. Not Sherey and Les, because to them, he was the perfect dad. Danny loved his daughter-in-law, Susan, who included him in every Sunday dinner. He adored his four grandkids - Danny and Shane, Adam and Joanna. He was eternally grateful for the guidance and devotion of his cousin Joel Kettler. The memory of Danny Gould will live on, through the many stories still to be told. Danny made a graceful exit, going out on the top. Two of Danny's favorite charitable organizations were Congregation Or Ami's Outreach to Children in Foster Care www.orami.org/donate and New Community Jewish High School's Tuition Assistance Fund www.ncjhs.org/donate. |

James Charles "BUD" Bushnell, July 21, 1939 - November 4, 2010, The sparkling love and true enjoyment of life in his eyes will never be forgotten. It was a gift for anyone who ever met him. "BUD" James Charles Bushnell, 71, of Santa Barbara passed gently into God's arms on Thursday, November 4, 2010, in his home after a triumphant battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Born in Cement, Oklahoma, on July 21, 1939, to Walter Lee and Sylvus Irene Bushnell, he was the middle of three children. He moved to California as a young boy and attended Inglewood High School. Bud married his college sweetheart; Brenda Lee Meeks (deceased), on May 27, 1960 in Los Angeles. They had two children., Bud struggled his entire life with Dyslexia, but it didn't keep him from becoming a master student and educator. Bud would always carry a dictionary, refusing to let one written or spoken word go misunderstood. Bud also was an avid reader by virtue of the Braille Institute's audio tapes. He became a student of life and wanted to learn something new every day. He was excited to share his knowledge with anyone who was willing to learn. In 1966, he began his apprenticeship with the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) as an Industrial Electrician, where he would retire after 40 years. Simultaneously, he became a Realtor and a successful Real Estate investor. In his earlier years as an electrician, he took special pride each year in helping light the Christmas tree on the corner of Carrillo and Chapala in Santa Barbara. His residences included Cement, OK; Inglewood, CA; Gardena, CA, and he would make his final move to the Goleta/Santa Barbara area in 1972 to give his young family a great place to live., He and Brenda joined the BPOE Elk's Lodge in Santa Barbara, where Brenda, with his unending support, was later elected Emblem Club president. Amongst the many years he donated time and money, he also donated his construction expertise to the Elk's Lodge when it was expanded and remodeled during the 70's. In 1977-78 Bud took flying lessons with his son, David. He enjoyed working with his son when he followed in Bud's footsteps as an Industrial Electrician. They worked together on jobs such as Vandenberg Air Force Base, Chumash Hotel and San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station just to name a few. Bud and his daughter, Lisa, planned family reunions together. He passed the torch of family historian down to her. He taught her the accounting aspect of the real estate business, but was sure to teach her how to change tires, use tools and do her own car maintenance. One of his treasured skills was the abacus. He tried to teach all of his kids and grandkids, but he remained the only one that could use it., He loved music of any kind. In high school Bud played the saxophone, but he went on to teach himself the guitar, harmonica and piccolo. Bud was dedicated to the art of square dancing, line dancing, round dancing, and ballroom dancing with various groups as Bachelors & Bachelorettes, Taws ‘n' Paws, Left Footers and Goleta Valley Community Center. Bud did not speak of his charitable work, so many of his closest friends will learn things about him that they never knew, but they will not be surprised. Everyone who met him immediately knew Bud was a man concerned about ethics, integrity, and honor. He led by example, not by words., Bud was a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason. Masonry was very dear to his heart. He became an Entered Apprentice on February 13, 1968; in Rialto, California, Lodge #582. Passed on April 30, 1968 and Raised to Master Mason on November 26, 1968, all at the Rialto Lodge. He later joined Camarillo Lodge #824, and from there he affiliated with Santa Barbara Lodge #192 on December 7, 1972. Bud continued his membership with the Camarillo Lodge and the Santa Barbara Lodge as well as Scottish Rite., He donated countless hours to Habitat for Humanity. Months before his death, Bud purchased a new set of drums for the Dos Pueblos High School Marching Band, where his granddaughter, Jessica Ley, is a member of the drum line. Due to the customization of these drums, the time of his passing did not make it possible for him to donate the drums personally, as they are scheduled to arrive in February. During Bud's last days, it was clear that he continued as a student in his pursuit of learning including the process of his final journey, the end of his life. He shared this experience with those around him as an educator, showing by actions rather than words what true courage and honor is., Bud is survived by his stepmother Elsie Bushnell of Fontana, CA; his son David Bushnell of Santa Maria; his daughter Lisa Bushnell of Santa Barbara; his grandchildren Lexi, 29; Jeremy, 22; Krystal, 19, and, Jessica, 16; his brother,Chet Bushnell (Divina) of Allen, TX; his sister Betty Bushnell of Ogden, UT; and his stepbrother Wayne Woods of Fontana, CA., Memorial services will be held at Welch-Ryce-Haider at 450 Ward Drive and will include a viewing on Thursday, November 11, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and service on Friday, November 12, at 10 a.m. Internment follows at Goleta Cemetery, at 44 S. San Antonio Rd., The family asks, that in lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in honor of James "Bud" Bushnell to the Scottish Rite Free Language Disorder Center for Children at 16 E.

Lars John Potter (Wold) passed away at Kaiser Hospital in Vallejo, Ca, October 27, 2010, due to complications from diabetes. He was born in Sacramento, Ca, December 6, 1931, to Lars J. and Marguerite (Kreigh) Wold. Marguerite later married Reid Potter and Lars and his brothers assumed their step-father's last name when they came to live at the Potter Ranch (now the di Rosa Preserve) as teenagers. Lars graduated from Napa High School in 1950. He enlisted in the US Navy and served from 1951-1955 during the Korean conflict, and was stationed at Alameda Naval Air Station and at Atsugi, Japan. After completing his military service he continued his education at Napa Valley College, Cal Poly SLO, and the University of Oregon. Lars worked at Kaiser Steel before he became involved in local politics (a life long interest). He was a member of the Napa City Council from 1963-1966 during which time he devoted himself full time to his council duties, to ending "Napathy," and to the creation of John F. Kennedy Memorial Park, one of his proudest accomplishments. After his council service Lars began a career in the insurance field. He worked for Allstate Insurance and the State Compensation Insurance Fund where he was recognized as top salesman in the state. He was an independent broker in Sonoma and Napa counties for more than thirty-five years, where he administered large group insurance programs for the building industry. Lars never forgot his experiences with animals on one of the County's largest dairy ranches, where he became a proficient midwife to dairy cows and an excellent judge of horses for the FFA. In later years he became an enthusiastic bidder in support of Napa's 4-H members and future farmers at the Napa Town and Country Fair's livestock auctions. Lars received an award from Napa Landmarks in 1991 for the restoration of his turn of the century Victorian home on First Street. After he retired Lars became a very active vegetable gardener. He took great pride in the many blue ribbons he won at the Napa Town and Country Fair for the vegetables he grew in his huge garden on Clay Street. Providing vegetables and free gardening advice to his neighbors, and sharing his garden with world travelers staying at the area's B & B's gave him immeasurable pleasure. Lars is survived by his wife of 53 years, Shirley (Stotts); six children and 16 grandchildren: Jack (Susan), Cathan, Sara, and Max, of Santa Rosa; Steve (Debbie), Damon, Josh, and Meagan, of Napa; Sherry Robinson (Bob), Rachael, Claire, and Robert, of Dallas, Tx; Kent (aka Rob) (Caroline), Katy, Ben, and Austin, of Napa; Brent (Patsy), Zachary, Spencer, and Samantha, of Napa; and Michael, of Napa and daughter Darian. Lars is also survived by his brothers Bill (Maureen) and John; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother George H. Wold. As a Norwegian, Lars embodied the Scandinavian passion for Mayonnaise. He spread it on everything; even the outside of a sandwich. A reception to share memories of Lars will be held at Kennedy Park's Robert Pelusi Building, 2296 Streblow Drive, Napa, CA, on Sunday, November 14, 2010, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Interment will be private.

In loving memory of Tillman L. Jeffrey, 2/14/1947 – 10/28/2010, Tillman Jeffrey, 63, of Loomis, Calif., went to be with the Lord on October 28, 2010. After a brave two year battle with cancer, he passed away at his home in the loving arms of his wife with his dachshunds and poodle nearby. Tillman was born February 14, 1947, Valentine's Day, in Barnett, Texas. He grew up in El Cajon and the San Diego area., Following high school, Tillman joined the U.S., and began training at a warrant officer flight training program as a Warrant Officer. He served from 1965 to 1971 as a combat helicopter pilot and flight instructor in Vietnam and Texas, respectively. During two Vietnam tours (Bien Hoa, Pleiku, Dak Seang, Phu Hiep, Dak To) he served with his beloved 173d Airborne Brigade (SEP) as well as the 335th Aviation Company (Airmobile Light) "Cowboys," the 1st aviation Brigade, the 335th's armed helicopter platoon (Falcons), and the1st Cavalry Division. During his first tour, Tillman and his crew spent two hours on the ground in enemy territory awaiting support after his helicopter was shot down. Tillman stated about that episode, "My two hours on the ground more than satisfied my curiosity about the ground war in South Vietnam and I certainly gained a new respect for the Airborne Infantry." While flying just two months into his second tour, he was shot through the floorboards by ground fire with a 12.7mm round from a DShK heavy machine gun and "medevaced" home. Although modest about his military achievements, Tillman was awarded both the, and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his gallantry in action., Tillman loved flying helicopters and after his military career, he flew out of San Diego as a fish spotter for a commercial fishing boat. He met the love of his life, Marita, while visiting friends in San Luis Obispo. They then moved to the SF Bay Area where Tillman worked as a private helicopter pilot and demolition estimator. With his war disabilities catching up to him, he retired to the Central Valley and eventually made his home in Loomis., Tillman showed his generosity by his willingness to help others. He shared countless hours on home improvement projects with family and loved to shower others with gifts. He had a soft spot in his heart for dachshunds and Military Veterans. Tillman was a lover of art, music, and an avid reader of historical and military books. He was well-read, opinionated, and had a witty sense of humor. Tillman's family meant the world to him and he cherished spending time with them. Many treasured memories were created boating on Folsom Lake with family. He was a member of First United Methodist Church in Loomis, Calif., where he was recently baptized. He was an active member of the 173d Airborne Brigade, Western States, Chapter 10 and served as newsletter editor before his illness. He loved attending Veteran's reunions and parades and conversing with other Veterans., Tillman is survived by his wife, Marita Jeffrey; his daughter Michelle Bauman and husband Andy; his daughter Laura Staley and husband Chuck; his grandchildren James Staley and Darya and Roman Bauman; his siblings Carolyn Wright, Dennis Jeffrey, Robert "Steve" Jeffrey, and Laurie Hebert and their spouses; and many nieces and nephews. He is survived by his mother, Louise Jeffrey, and preceded in death by his father, Hilmer L. Jeffrey., Tillman will be deeply missed by his friends and family. His spirit will be honored during a Memorial Service Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 1 p.m. at First United Methodist Church 6414, Brace Road, Loomis. Donations can be made in Tillman's honor to First United Methodist Church, Disabled American Veterans, and Friends of Placer County Animal Shelter. |
