Brennan John Newsom 2/25/38 - 11/11/10 Brennan John Newsom passed peacefully on November 11, 2010, after a long illness. The fourth of six children born to William A. and Christine Newsom, Brennan grew up an Irish Catholic in San Francisco's Marina District, attending Ecole Notre Dame Des Victoires and St. Ignatius College Prep. He spent two years at Novitiate of the Sacred Heart, a Jesuit seminary, before attending the University of San Francisco, followed by law school at George Washington University and San Francisco Law School. A boxer, a sportsman, a lover of nature, a trial attorney, an ardent democrat, a humanist; throughout his life, Brennan was a fighter and a fierce advocate for those without a voice. His clients became his friends, and his friends, clients. He always stood up for what he believed in, and zealously defended those for whom he cared. Brennan had a wit, energy and effervescence that brightened any room he entered. He could start conversations and make friends with alarming ease. An intellectual, a student of history, of poetry and of prose, Brennan was not just well read, but eager to discuss most any topic, from Russian military history to the poetry of Valery. His life, however, was best defined by his devotion to family. He relished the holidays, often making three or four stops in a day to celebrate with as many family members as possible. He was especially fond of his grand-nieces and -nephews, and madly in love with his grandchildren Grace and Owen. He was incapable of passing a baby without stopping to talk, make faces and lavish compliments. Brennan is survived by his children, Jennifer, Brennan, Eric, William, Chloe and daughter-in-law Kathleen; a devoted older brother, Bill; a caring ex-wife, Franza; his grandchildren Grace and Owen; and countless nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was pre-deceased by his first wife Patsy and by his siblings Carole, Barbara, Sharon and Patrick. He will be missed his friends, family and the hundreds of other people whose lives he touched. A memorial mass will be held on Friday, November 19, at 1:30 p.m. at Notre Dame Des Victoires, 566 Bush Street, San Francisco. Memorial contributions can be made to the Cancer Research Institute. http://www.cancerresearch.org/give/memorial.html Monte's Chapel of the Hills San Anselmo 415-453-8440 |

WARD, DAVID M. W6BC July 17, 1914 to Nov. 10, 2010 David Murray Ward passed away in his home in La Jolla, California, of natural causes at the age of 96 on November 10th and has now joined his beloved wife of 60 years, Helen, who passed away in January 1998. Dave was born in Vancouver, BC, Canada, the only child of Rose Jane Murray and David H. Ward. He was a year old when his parents moved to Seattle, where he grew up and graduated from Garfield H.S. in 1932. He attended the Univ. of Washington, earning a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1937. An early achievement for which he was very proud was earning his amateur (ham) radio license at age 16. He built his own station and through the air waves made life-long friends, not only in the Seattle area but throughout the world, including Hawaii, Europe and Australia. He married his high-school sweetheart, Helen Louise Stare, on October 23, 1937, in Seattle. During college summer breaks from 1934 to 1937, he was a commercial radio operator and engineer for the Alaska Steamship Co., traveling the Inside Passage numerous times between Seattle and Alaska. From 1937 to 1942, he was an engineer with Boeing Airplane Co. in Seattle. In 1942, he was appointed to the staff of the radiation laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology near Boston working in research and development of airborne radar and beacon transponders for military applications during World War II. In 1943, he left Boeing for Raytheon Mfg. Co. in Seattle and was in charge of field engineering on the West Coast and Pacific Ocean areas. In 1947, he opened his own business, Ward Associates, in Seattle, and in 1952, he and Helen moved to the San Diego area where he re-established his business designing and building electro-mechanical devices, including underwater television units for the Navy in the early 1960s, instrumentation to monitor blood flow during kidney dialysis, and a water-flow mechanism for commercial fire protection systems. After retiring in the mid 1980s, he and Helen enjoyed traveling to Europe and Australia to visit ham radio friends and do lots of sight-seeing and taking photos, as photography was a life-long hobby. Other travel included Alaska and across the U.S. and Canada several times with their travel trailer to visit family and friends along the way. Although Dave lived most of his life in the United States, he maintained dual citizenship with Canada and visited cousins in British Columbia and Alberta as often as possible. Dave is survived by his cousins in Canada, extended family in the San Diego, Seattle and Tucson areas, as well as many friends, especially those with whom he shared the air waves for so many years via weekly ham radio schedules. He will be greatly missed by all. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, November 18th, at 3:30 p.m., Pacific Beach Mortuary and Chapel, 4710 Cass St., San Diego, CA 92109.

Marshall Vance Marchbanks, 63, of 236 S. Main Street, and beloved husband of Elaine Roper Marchbanks for 35 years, and adoring father of Jessica Marchbanks Gifford, died Monday, October 4, 2010 at his family's residence in Six Mile following a courageous battle with esophageal cancer. He "fought the good fight" and is now enjoying perfect peace and rest in the presence of The Great Physician, our Lord Jesus Christ. Born in Greenville, SC, he was the devoted and loving son of Claude Vance and Carolene "Tottie" Lewis Marchbanks of Clemson. He attended grammar school in Clemson and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in 1961. He was a 1965 graduate of D. W. Daniel High School where he was the president of the student body, captain of the baseball team, voted "Best Leader" by his senior class as well as numerous additional honors and achievements. He earned a B.S. degree from Clemson University in 1969 where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in the School of Pre-Medicine, was a member of Phi Kappa Phi (now Phi Beta Kappa) honor fraternity as well as a member of the Air Force ROTC. Marshall's Doctor of Medicine degree was earned at the Medical University of SC in 1973 where he also spent his surgical residency and cardiothoracic surgery residency, becoming board certified in both General Surgery and Cardiothoracic Surgery. Starting in 1980, Marshall served two years on active duty in the US Navy as Assistant Chairman of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, CA as well as on assignment in Adak, Alaska, and received an Honorable Discharge with the rank of Lt. Commander. He then entered private practice at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital (SRMH), Santa Rosa, CA in 1982 and served as the Chief of Cardiac Surgery from September 1, 1987 until his retirement on January 1, 2007. During his career, including his residency and military service, Marshall performed over 5,000 open heart operations, served as the Chief of Medical Staff at SRMH and served on the Board of Trustees. In 2008, the operating room suite of the new heart institute at SRMH was dedicated to Marshall in recognition of his excellent service to the hospital and surrounding community for the past 25 years. Following retirement from private practice, Marshall moved to Edwards, CO near Beaver Creek where he made his home with his wife, Elaine and his daughter, Jessica for almost 10 years, having grown to love the splendor of God's creation in that majestic Rocky Mountain setting. He and his wife most recently returned to their family residence in Six Mile, SC as his illness progressed so he could spend time with family as he cherished time with his family above anything else he had ever achieved. His hobbies included flying his own airplane as an instrument rated pilot, playing the piano, snow skiing, and traveling the world. He was an expert at all he did and inspired many others to greatness as well. His love of sacred music as well as his concert style of playing led to his recording of four CDs over the past 10 years. He served as a longtime member and pianist at Bethel Baptist Church in Santa Rosa, CA and most recently at Trinity Church in Edwards, CO where he considered his gift of piano playing to be a God-given ministry of healing to be shared with others, much as he considered his skill as a surgeon to be a God-given talent of healing the hearts and lives he touched. He often served as guest pianist at the First Wesleyan Church in Central, SC where his parents are currently members and where his wife's grandparents were faithful members many years ago. Surviving in addition to his wife, daughter, and parents are his son-in-law, Nicholas Charles Gifford and grand daughter, Marley Joy Gifford of WI; and his only sister, Sherry Marchbanks-Hudgins and husband, Eric of Cedar Mountain, NC; brother-in-law, Julien Daniel Roper and wife, Donna of Campobello, SC; sisters-in-law, Helen Roper Carter of Easley, SC, and Janet Roper Humphries and husband, Randy of Sunset, SC; and many beloved nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews: Angie and Ben Sheriff and Braxton and Colton of Easley, SC, David and Caroline Carter and Jackson of Easley, SC, Chris and Meg Carter and Eliza of Greenville, SC, Caroline and Brad Felix and Garrett, Kendall, and Henry of Winchester, VA, and Jud and Casey Roper and Mary and Julia of Maryville, TN.

Born Sept. 23, 1945 - Died Nov. 11, 2010, Gary D'Anna was born on Sept. 23, 1945 at Bayridge Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, to Phil and Tina D'Anna. A small card announcing his birth reads, very simply, "Mother Feeling Fine, Father Very Happy." His mother, Tina D'Anna, was feeling so fine, in fact, that she went on to enter one of his baby pictures in the New York Mirror Charming Child Contest the following year. There is no indication that the photo was chosen as the winner, but it is obvious that Gary had successfully charmed the first in a very long line of people., The oldest of four children, Gary grew up in Massapequa Park, Long Island, until his family moved to Orange County in a 1957 Ford Station Wagon, when he was 12. An avid Dodgers fan, Gary always proudly proclaimed that he had attended games at Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn, and when the Dodgers made their own move from New York to California in 1958, Gary could be heard to brag that they did it to follow him., Gary met his wife of 38 years, Mary, at a Catholic singles dance in Los Angeles. As the story goes, Mary reluctantly went to the dance only at the urging of her mother, who felt she should be out meeting new people. Gary was a new person, and when he saw Mary across the dance floor, he was immediately smitten and wasted no time asking her to dance. She said yes, and the rest is history. They were married on Dec. 2, 1972, and went on to have three children: Janelle, Mark, and Allison; and three grandchildren: Taylor, Nikolai, and Peighton., A virtual genius when it came to numbers, Gary got his accounting degree from Cal State Long Beach, and then followed with a Masters in accounting from Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. He went on to become a successful CPA at Hughes Aircraft, and he owned his own thriving tax preparation business., He worked tirelessly for many years to provide a beautiful home in Thousand Oaks for his family, but still found ample time to attend family soccer games, baseball games, to take his kids trick or treating, attend dance recitals, take his family on vacations to places like Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, or even Hawaii, and basically do anything and everything his kids asked of him., Like any CPA, Gary was always very good with money. Those who knew him best will tell you that he was always thinking about the best ways to invest his money, in order to ensure that he got the most out of what he earned. But Gary was not greedy and he rarely, if ever, spent his money on things for himself. Nearly every penny earned was saved for his family, and because of Gary's smarts, his wife and kids always had food on the table, and a roof over their head. Gary put his three children through college, and even helped them buy their first homes. Even in his later years, when his children were grown and earning money of their own, he never ceased worrying about whether or not his family would be provided for after his passing., Gary's obligations as a father, husband, and provider were something that he did not take lightly. Selflessness such as the kind he displayed in his lifetime is a very rare thing, and something for which Gary's family will be eternally grateful. In his later years, Gary enjoyed occasionally gambling, playing bingo, and sneaking scraps of food from the dinner table for his dog, Charlie., And his prowess with money was not dulled by the years. If you were buying a new car, you brought Gary along to negotiate. If you were refinancing a mortgage, you ran the numbers past Gary first. If you were looking for a way to get a little extra money back on your tax return, Gary would be first in line with advice., But despite his business acumen, it was abundantly clear to all who knew him that his world revolved around his wife, three children, and his three grandchildren. Even when he wasn't able to get around as well as he once had, one of his greatest joys in life was heading to the park to watch his granddaughter Taylor play soccer. His children are his legacy in this world. They were the center of his life, and they were the reason he worked so hard for so many years. Today his children are comforted by the knowledge that Gary will be looking after them in death, as he did in life., On Nov. 10, 2010, Gary's favorite sister-in-law, Christina D'Anna, traveled from Arkansas to Simi Valley to bring comfort to Gary and his family. Gary died peacefully in his home and surrounded by family the very next morning. It seemed as if Gary had waited for Christina's arrival before starting his passage to Heaven., He is survived by his wife, three children, and three grandchildren., The D'Anna Family would also like to take this opportunity to thank Tracy Luchies for the four years of devotion and care she showed Gary. Tracy spent as much time as anyone with him over the last four years of his life. It was not always an easy task keeping up with Gary, but Tracy's patience and compassion bordered on the saintly, and Gary's family is eternally grateful for the uncommon degree of care and love she showed him during those most difficult years of his life., In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to Livingston Memorial Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice: 1996 Eastman Avenue, Suite 101, Ventura, CA 93003., Rosary services will be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 18 at Griffin Family Funeral Chapels: 101 E.

Jennifer spent many hours on her horse riding the Lawson family ranch. In 1986 Jennifer assumed management of Lawson's Livestock beef cattle and sheep ranch. She had an incredible passion for the land and compassion for animals that was reflected in the way she managed the ranch for 19 years. Everyone who knew Jennifer understood she possessed both the fortitude to manage the ranch with mud and manure on her boots and the spark to don the most fetching feminine attire. If someone needed help, Jennifer was always there to give more than she would want to receive. Jennifer's mettle was tested by many tragedies which she confronted with grit, grace and courage. First in 1996 she and Chris lost their son Colby, who died from complications shortly after birth. Then in 2003 Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer that she fought with treatment and successfully recovered. A change in life brought Jennifer together with her partner Dale Holmes of Dillon Beach. After sharing many happy years and memories together, Jennifer's cancer returned and metastasized to bring her life to closure. Jennifer is survived by her loving partner Dale Holmes; daughters Shelby Lawson and Giana Lawson both of Dillon Beach; brother Morgan Doran of Winters; father Patrick Doran of Sutter Creek, mother Carolene Wiser and step-father Willie Scheidt of Volcano; and her aunt Janie Pasalich of Rohnert Park. Jennifer and Dale have been dedicated members of the Rip City Riders, a non-profit charity motorcycle group based in Marin and Sonoma Counties. The group organizes numerous charity drives throughout each year with one major beneficiary selected annually. This year, Rip City Riders raised $50,000 for Hospice by the Bay in Jennifer's honor. It is Jennifer's wish that any donations in her memory be made to Rip City Riders to support their charitable causes. More information is available at www.ripcityriders.org. Donations can be sent to Rip City Riders, PO Box 2970, Petaluma, CA 94953. In the spring of 2011, a Celebration of Jennifer's Life will be held in Tomales, CA.

During their time together, 7 more grandchildren were born. They enjoyed family and traveling the world together until she passed away in 1994.

Mary Jane Deere Wiman Brinton A selfless humanitarian devoted to her family and to many social causes, died peacefully of cancer at her home in San Francisco on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010 in the company of family. She was 88. Mrs. Brinton was born on December 3, 1921 in Chicago, IL to Charles Deere Wiman and Patricia Southall Wiman. Mrs. Brinton and her sister, Patricia, were the great-great granddaughters of John Deere, who invented the steel plow in 1837. Raised in Moline, IL, Mrs. Brinton attended Bennington College and, in a typical display of her tenacity, she later completed her degree in 1965 at Lone Mountain College. She married William M. Brinton on July 10, 1943; the couple lived in Charlottesville, VA until 1948, when they moved to San Francisco with their first child, William. Their three daughters, Delia, Katherine and Barbra, were born in San Francisco. Throughout her life, Mrs. Brinton was steadfastly committed to improving both public and private school education. Her first major imprint on the field came in 1966, when she was one of a group of parents who co-founded the Urban School of San Francisco. Recently, she was delighted to find that her primary care physician had graduated from that high school! In 1984, she established the Flanders Fellowship program at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education. Created in honor of Professor Emeritus Ned Flanders, the fellowships are awarded to recruit, prepare, and sustain new teachers who are role models for disadvantaged youth in urban schools. To date, over 350 fellowships have been awarded. In addition, Mrs. Brinton volunteered her time to work with students at New Traditions Alternative Elementary School in San Francisco, hosting a weekly "Wonder Desk", which was intended to foster students' inquisitiveness. Capturing the essence of her work in education, a 1999 article in the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education newsletter wrote of her efforts, "A role model in her own right, [Mary Jane] Brinton is on a mission to revitalize urban education." Mrs. Brinton was also a tireless advocate for improving health and mental care, particularly for high-need populations. In 2001, she established the Brinton Psychiatric Homeless Project, which provides psychiatric care and mental health services for those homeless persons in San Francisco who suffer from mental illness and have limited or no access to such services. Her gifts to the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics established the Neighborhood Counseling Program, which provides low-cost, bicultural and bilingual mental health services to those in low-income neighborhoods. Recently, moved by the plight of so many in New Orleans following Katrina and the oil spill, Mrs. Brinton sent her son and his wife to investigate opportunities to assist the community by improving health resources and job training. The result is the Brinton Family Health and Healing Clinic in partnership with Tulane University, which will open in 2011 providing primary care to low-income members of the community as well as hands-on experience for physicians and other health care workers in training. Mrs. Brinton's commitments to improvements in health care further extended to cancer research. She helped establish a fund in the name of Dr. John Kerner, one of her dearest friends and a champion of cancer research himself. The Kerner Cancer Research and Education Fund at Mt. Zion Hospital has generated great knowledge in cancer and diabetes and in more recent years has developed two effective anti-cancer drugs. Later, Mrs. Brinton honored her mother by seeding the Cancer Genetics program at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) and the Cancer Risk Program. She also funded two endowed chairs at UCSF, including the Kerner Distinguished Chair in Gynecological Oncology. Dr. Kerner noted that "she refused to have her name on the chairs, though I suggested that they be so named. That was typical of her generosity." Mrs. Brinton saw value in system change as well. She championed public engagement and awareness through her generous support of the League of Women Voters and the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) and, in 2002, CIR honored her with their Donor of the Year award. For 13 years, she worked closely on homeless policy issues with her friend and ally, Sister Bernie of the Religious Witness with the Homeless. Her devotion to animals was a natural extension of her generous spirit. She adored dogs of all varieties and rescued many over the years, each one loved dearly. Horses, too, were a passion for her. She rode horseback for many years, giving it up only after she had been thrown 32 times, the last in 1967 while riding her daughter Delia's horse bareback in Golden Gate Park. Her love of animals was evident in her giving as well; she would support no research that involved animal testing of any sort. Mrs. Brinton selflessly gave of her time and resources to many family members, friends and organizations and asked nothing in return. She was an outstanding example of the Greatest Generation and a role model for all of us. Mrs. Brinton is survived by her children, William W. Brinton, P. Delia Brinton, Katherine D. B. Crawford; eight grandchildren; five great grandchildren; and three devoted nieces and nephews, Demaris L. Brinton, Anna H. Wolfe and Alexander S. Hewitt. She was preceded in death by her husband, William M. Brinton, on July 10 of this year and her daughter, Barbra D. B. Paulson, in 2003. A service for Mrs. Brinton will be held on Saturday, November 20th, in San Francisco. Please call a family member or 415-931-3389 for the time and location. Donations may be made in memory of Mrs. Brinton to: California Pacific Medical Center, Hospice by the Bay, or UCSF Memory Clinic., Mary Jane Deere Wiman Brinton A selfless humanitarian devoted to her family and to many social causes, died peacefully of cancer at her home in San Francisco on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010 in the company of family.

died peacefully Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010 in Grass Valley, Calif. She was 73 years old. Her family has planned a memorial in Eureka, Calif. at Christ Episcopal Church for 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 20 with a celebration of her life following at the Ingomar Club. Born in Des Moines, Iowa on June 16, 1937 to Leo and Wilma Regan, MaryAnn lived with her family in various states throughout the Midwest, moving to follow her father's career in the banking industry. Leo's work eventually brought the family west to Oregon. MaryAnn attended high school in Drain, Ore., graduating in 1955. MaryAnn attended Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., for her freshman year and transferred to Humboldt State College where she earned a degree in Home Economics with a secondary teaching credential. While studying at Humboldt, MaryAnn met her future husband Robert (Bob) Wayne Spencer. They were married in Eureka at Christ Episcopal Church shortly after their graduation in June 1959. The newlyweds relocated to San Lorenzo, Calif. so that Bob could attend dental school at the College of Physicians and Surgeons University of the Pacific and MaryAnn could accept a teaching position in the Hayward School District, and they began their family. They later moved back to Eureka where Bob established his dental practice and MaryAnn was a mother to their three children, teacher, community volunteer and quiltmaker. MaryAnn's community involvement spanned nearly 50 years and often combined her passion for education and traditional quiltmaking. She was a founding member of the American Quilt Study Group, an organization formed in 1980 to research and present aspects of the history of the American quilt and to introduce the public to the idea that quiltmaking is an important part of our heritage. She then joined the feasibility study and eventual formation of a board in 1983 to record the history of California quilts and quiltmakers, spending seven years canvassing the state to record stories of in-migration and cultural history/diversity. Her work with the California Heritage Quilt Project culminated in a book titled "Ho For California" and a touring museum-style show of quilts featured in the book. Once a teacher always a teacher, MaryAnn taught quiltmaking through Eureka City Schools adult education program and returned to the classroom for several years as a grandparent volunteer, tutoring and mentoring first grade students in math and literacy. MaryAnn also expressed great pride in the work of the Humboldt Area Foundation during her 15-plus years of affiliation with HAF. She actively participated in and led several committees, and was the first Program Officer of HAF, traveling the region to visit grant applicants and support the staff and board in making grant decisions. Her belief in HAF's mission led her to establish memorial scholarship funds in honor of her parents and later for her husband Bob who passed in 2006. In addition, she greatly enjoyed her involvement with such organizations as the Union Labor Health Foundation, Redwood Capital Bank, Vector Health, Humboldt Sponsors, and Redwood Empire Quilt Guild. And, she frequently made and donated quilts to provide comfort to youth experiencing crisis situations. MaryAnn was preceded in death by her parents and husband. She is survived by son Scott Spencer and daughter-in-law Lorri Spencer of Grass Valley, Calif.; daughter Sarah Spencer Guglielmo and son-in-law Joe Guglielmo of Paso Robles, Calif.; daughter Kati Spencer of Tempe, Ariz.; and grandsons Kyle Spencer, Zach Spencer, Andrew Guglielmo and Dominic Guglielmo. The family has suggested that, in lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of MaryAnn may be sent to Humboldt Area Foundation at 373 Indianola Road, Bayside, CA 95524 or online at |

MaryAnn was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and daughter. She was a charitable soul that showed compassion and mercy towards others. She cared for her family like an angel and a lion.

She was an aunt, niece, and great-aunt too many spanning from California, Texas and North Carolina. She enjoyed spending time with her extended family the Virrey, Rosales, Aguirre and Reyes families. MaryAnn loved her family deeply and often was the thread that kept everyone together planning family gatherings. MaryAnn would often brag of her many careers she undertook in her adult life, this was something she would often laugh about. She was an entrepreneur in her own business as a beautician for 30 years, a singer and experimented in many other diverse careers; too many to list. She is preceded in death by her father, Daniel Virrey; brother, Daniel "Jocko" Virrey Jr.; son, Michael Carrillo and 2 other children, her aunt, Bobbie McCloud; mother-in-law, Micaela "Mickey" Carrillo; father-in-law, Julian Carrillo and many other beloved family members.

Michael Raphael Sheeran (Ray Sheeran) Passed away peacefully in the loving care of his family and friends in Cazadero, CA on Sunday, November 14, 2010 after a courageous eight month battle with Melanoma. Ray was in his 54th year. He is survived by his loving wife Catherine, a native of Mountrath, Co. Laois, Ireland and their sons Ryan, Eoin and their daughter Maeve and by his mother Maura, brothers Gerard, John and Mark, sisters Geraldine, Jacqueline, Therese and Frances, brothers and sisters-in law, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. Ray will also be sadly missed by Catherines family who took Ray to be one of their own. He was predeceased by his father Canice and Aunt Vera. Ray was born October 23, 1956 in Coolrain, Mountrath, Co. Laois. A passionate sportsman, he won many medals and trophies with his local Hurling club, Camross and his County team Laois. He also played rugby with Portlaoise, and soccer with The Pike of Rushall. Ray had a love for music, especially Irish Traditional music and song and in the early days played the banjo before moving on to his grandfather Ryans instrument, the fiddle. Ray emigrated to San Francisco in February 1982 and married Catherine, his wife of 26 years, in San Francisco in 1984. They had known each other from home and were destined to be together. Family, work, sport and friends continued to be as important to Ray in the States as they had been in Ireland. He played Hurling with the Rangers Hurling Club and was a founding member of Na Fianna Hurling Club using the same colors of his native Camross, the Black and Amber. This club went on to be one of the most successful clubs in North America with Ray playing his part in winning their first Senior Championship in 1990. Rugby was also a great passion of Rays and he went on to be a founding member of San Francisco Irish RFC which subsequently merged with the San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club, which developed one of the best underage programs in the USA. SFGG Ruby Club, has renamed their Home Club and Grounds as 'The Ray Sheeran Field', in recognition of Rays commitment and dedication to the sport. Over the years Ray became part and parcel of the fabric of San Francisco and Cazadero and was well known in both places. He and his family were surrounded by old friends and the many new friends he made along the way. They have proved to be ever supportive, especially during his time of need. It was recently commented that the Sheeran family were not just good friends but a cultural experience. Family, friends and living life were ingrained in Ray and this was something he wanted to share with those he loved. His priority was his family and he was immensely proud of his sons Ryan, Eoin and his daughter Maeve. Catherine has been his rock throughout the years and has been by his side through this difficult time. Ray Sheeran was an inspiration to his family and friends and will be sadly missed by all.

She loved the USA Chivas and Mexico's National Soccer Teams. She spent many hours doing cross/search word puzzles. She had an uncanny sense of humor with her one liners and took no prisoners with her direct razor sharp wit that was unmatched. As a member of the family circle, she was given the platform to exercise all her talents. She had a memorable laugh that could be heard from the next room and with an unbroken spirit and a fearless philosophy for life she said adios to all of us., "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him". 1 Corinthians 2:9b, Norma is survived by her daughters, Lorena Lamas Alamillo, Maricela Lamas, and Veronica Lamas; three grandchildren; mother, Concepcion Diaz; sisters, Evangelina Diaz Barrera, Erma Valdivia, and Arcie Torres; brothers, Armando Diaz and Joe M.

Rex Raymond Mull 1926 - 2010 Rex Raymond Mull was born June 19, 1926, in Bakersfield, California. As a young boy, he played barefoot among the oil derricks on Wheeler Ridge with his older brother, Ted. Rex's dad Jim moved the family to Bakersfield when they were young, but then when Rex was ten his mom Ida died in childbirth. Rex was a disciplined and successful student. However, he had a stutter. To overcome that obstacle, his dad encouraged him to seek out public speaking opportunities, and as a result Rex participated in drama, debate, and later, even announced professional wrestling at Bakersfield's Strong Stadium. He overcame his stutter. As a young man, Rex became a gymnast, was always working a part-time job, frequently found and adopted stray animals, and enjoyed his friends, Harold Walker, LeRoy Wiggington and Johnny White. When Rex was a teenager, his dad re-married Rosebud, his new mom from North Carolina. As a teenager Rex excelled in school. At graduation from Bakersfield High School in 1943, he was ranked ninth in the state of California. Rex entered the Navy during WWII and became a radioman (1944), achieving the top average since his school's commissioning. After the war, he graduated from Bakersfield Junior College ('48, with Honors) and the College of the Pacific ('50, with Highest Honors), and led his debate team to national status. After COP, Rex graduated from Stanford Law School ('53), where he edited the Law Review. Following graduation, Rex worked briefly for Pacific Telephone in San Francisco, and then returned to Bakersfield. Here, he continued his legal career with the county council's office, and then in private practice. For many years Rex was the city attorney for Taft and Ridgecrest, and was also council for the Kern County Water Agency. Along with Mel Davis, Dexter Haymond, and John Rathjen, Rex founded Melex, Inc., which successfully developed, owned and operated an assisted living retirement facility in Bakersfield. After returning to Bakersfield as a young man, Rex met and married Nancy, his wife of 50 years. Together they raised three children: Steve, Ginny and Susan. Rex was an anchor of his local extended family, which included Ted and Eva Mull, Eldon and Lobenia Geisert, and Margaret and Ken Hench. He was a long time member and supporter of First United Methodist Church. Returning home from work late one night in 1982, Rex was hit by a drunk driver, and suffered a significant head injury. That experience helped Rex let go of his law practice, and focus instead on his family, his exercise, and spending time at a small family cabin in Camp Nelson, CA, among the much loved mountain pines, with family friends, Doyle and Eleanor Krause. In October 2010, Rex was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He died November 11, 2010, while undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Mercy Hospital. Mr. Mull's family especially appreciates the compassion, excellent care, and sensitivity of the nurses and helpers of 2-West, Mercy Hospital on Truxtun, and of the nurses in the ICU at Mercy.

Robert D. Barbagelata Jan 9, 1925 Nov 6, 2010 Robert D. Barbagelata passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on Saturday, November 6, 2010. He was 85 years old. Bob was born in San Francisco and raised in the Marina by his parents Dominic Barbagelata and Jane Frugoli. As a child, he loved fishing with his father down at the Municipal Pier. He also enjoyed exploring the Presidio with his brother and sister and playing jokes on the servicemen. He fondly remembered being one of the first to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge the day it opened. Bob attended St. Vincent de Paul Elementary and St. Ignatius High School. In 1942, he enrolled at the University of San Francisco. With the war raging overseas, he enlisted in the Navy during his freshman year. Commissioned as an Ensign, he spent a year on a Navy ship in the South Pacific. After returning to San Francisco, he graduated from USF in 1947. That fall, he entered USF's Law School, completed his coursework in two and one-half years, and passed the Bar six months ahead of his class. He was a loyal and faithful USF alumnus as well as a diehard Dons fan, frequently returning to the school with friends to watch basketball games. He took immense pride in his legal work and spent five decades as a trial lawyer in The City. In 1952, he established a firm on Geary Street, where he worked with a variety of associates until his retirement in 2000. His peers held him in great esteem, electing him President of the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association in 1959 and President of the American Board of Trial Advocates in 1981. In 1990 was appointed to serve as Judge Pro Tem on the Superior Court of San Francisco. He was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the San Francisco Trial Lawyers in 2003 and the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Board of Trial Advocates in 2005. His greatest joy was his family. In 1956, Bob married the love of his life, Doris Chatfield, and together they raised three children, Patricia, Robert, and Michael. His favorite family vacations usually involved camping and fishing. Bob and Doris shared a passion for travel and he made friends in every country they visited. Bob gave his business card to everyone he met, urging them to visit his beautiful city by the bay. His new friends arrived from every corner of the globe. He knew no strangers; he trusted his fellow man and opened his heart to everyone. Bob loved San Francisco. He rode Muni up until the day he died. He was a dapper gentleman and offered a smile to friends and strangers alike. If he saw someone standing on the bus, he would offer his seat, even if they were 20 years his junior. He was a man of deep faith and lived the values he believed in. He passionately advocated for the underdog and gave generously to those in need. As patriarch of the Barbagelata family, he was always there to lend a hand, offer advice, or give a hug or perhaps just a big, wet kiss to his children and nieces and nephews. He found great joy sharing food and wine with dear friends. The sunshine that was Bob will always shine bright in our hearts. Bob is survived by his wife Doris, his daughter Patricia B. Lefever (Bill), his sons Robert Barbagelata (Jean) and Michael Barbagelata (Cathy) and his four grandchildren, Dominic Lefever, Robert, Jackson, and Lily Barbagelata. He was pre-deceased by his sister Patricia Barbagelata, his brother John Barbagelata, and his nephew John Barbagelata Jr. The Memorial Mass will be celebrated Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Ignatius Church, 650 Parker Street, San Francisco.

TONI TRAMMELL NOVEMBER 17, 2009 BROKEN CHAIN by Ron Tranmer We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you, Your Family |

He played many positions from left-field to catcher. At about 17, he started playing billiards in local pool halls that his grandma Molly tried to discourage with no success.

He worked for PG&E, General Telephone and retiring as a short line driver for CME Trucking Co., Sonny had offers to go to some major league farm clubs, but with a young family growing it wasn't possible. Through all these years Sonny would get off work, get home, clean-up eat dinner with the family and off to go play ball, a bowling tournament or someone calling him to come down for a game of pool hoping this time they might win a game or two., If it was hunting season he often put Thelma and the kids in the car and go off on an evening hunt up HWY 166 and the Las Padres Forrest., Sonny found golf through these years to add as another sport to try. Through his years if he was challenged by someone to try a sport from tennis to a foot race his determination to win or beat them was so strong he never lost. Sonny in his 70s was challenged by a grandson who thought he was young strong could take his grandpa at arm-wrestling, he never asked grandpa for a match again., Sonny won many bowling and golf tournaments. He was one of the first to bowl a 300 game at the Rancho Bowl where he went on to bowl two more 300 games one of which was on the same day he had a hole in one at the golf course earlier.

Very few would argue he was the greatest natural all around athlete in the Santa Maria Valley., Even with his last 4 years of health issues, he stayed close to his love of golf by having a monthly tournament where the teams of (4) kept growing. He met monthly with his Santa Maria Indian teammates for lunch and spent most mornings at the donut shop with his crew of cronies telling "tall Tales.", Sonny loved and waited for visits with grandchildren and great grandchildren. Some of their first times playing catch were with "Poppy" or taking his cane and using it for a microphone and singing to him or as an exercise bar, anything to watch him laugh and entertain him., He loved watching golf and the Dodgers and talking to friends on the phone. He could get mad at any one of them, but an hour later they were "a hell of a guy.", Everyone that knew Sonny knew…HE DID IT HIS WAY., Sonny is survived by his wife Thelma Sumner of Santa Maria, Daughter Colleen Sumner (Steve Goodman) of Santa Maria, Sons Stanley Sumner, Stephen Sumner(Kristi ), William Sumner (Natalie) and Thomas Sumner (Joanie) all of Santa Maria, daughter-in-law Nancy Sumner Steele of Arroyo Grande, brother Donnie Oliveira of Santa Maria, Sister Rita Alexander of Paso Robles, Step-Brother Harry Goodchild of Garey, Step Father Sam Esparaza, 7 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nephews and nephews., He is preceded in death by a son James A.
