On January 22, 1937 – In a small ranch house in Lompoc, CA, and at the hands of Dr. L. Heiges Sr., Abigail was born to her loving parents Rogelio and Vivian Velasquez (Gonzalez).

She always spoke about and cherished the relationships that evolved throughout the years, with a little partiality to her fellow "old timers." Abigail's life revolved around her family. She enjoyed doing anything that involved them. Her special times were all holidays, annual vacations at the lake, and any other time she spent with her family. She enjoyed gardening and collecting her keepsakes. She always was smiling and behind that smile was the pillar of strength of the family.

Always a voracious reader, in later years he became a frequent visitor to the San Mateo Public Library because the family bookshelves were overflowing. His most favorite books were biographies and histories. His cheerfulness, sense of humor and intellect will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. He was an indomitable spirit. The family would like to thank Dr. Ranjana Advani, who cured him of lymphoma in 2000, and Dr. George Fisher, who gave him superior treatment for pancreas cancer in 2009 and 2010. Also thanks to Mission Hospice who eased his last month. There will be a memorial at Ralston Hall on the Notre Dame de Namur University campus in Belmont on Sunday, November 28 at 2 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts in memory of Bert may be made to the Oncology Research Funds for Dr. Ranjana Advani (HAIUB) and /or Dr. George A.

Betty Smith MacIsaac, age 84, of Ventura, passed away on Monday morning, Oct. 25, 2010., She was born on Nov. 11,1925 in a little house on Gertruda Street in Redondo Beach, Calif., to Nina Heck Smith and Fred A. Smith. Along with her brothers, Royce and Warren, the family settled in Ventura County where "Pop" Fred pursued employment as an oil worker. Betty attended Ventura High School, graduating with the class of 1943., In May 1945, Betty was hard at work behind the desk in an optometrist's office in the Zander Building on Main Street, Ventura, when she was spotted by a tall, handsome Army lieutenant, Jim MacIsaac, who made a sudden command decision to get his eyes checked. Thus started a three month courtship, culminating in an August wedding shortly after V-J Day. Betty and Jim remained happily married for 54 years until he passed in May 2000., Betty and Jim moved to Los Angeles, with the exception of a three-year period of time when Jim served in Germany during the Korean War (accompanied by Betty and daughter Kathleen). They lived in the greater Los Angeles area, later retiring to Carlsbad, Calif., in the 1970s. Enthusiastic about her stay in Germany, she immediately started incorporating many German holiday customs into the family festivities, much to the delight of her daughter who loved putting her school shoes outside the front door on Christmas Eve and discovering the next morning that Santa Claus had left treats in them. Betty also assured her daughter that Santa Claus absolutely did not live in the North Pole, but much closer, over on that nearby hill, in the Heidelburg Castle., A wonderful and loving wife, mother and homemaker, Betty also worked several years as an office manager, and still found time to put in many, many hours as a volunteer at California Hospital in L.A. She got great enjoyment from gardening (community award for best landscape), oil painting, working with stained glass, making doll houses (along with Jim), reading voraciously and taking care of their dogs., Betty is survived by daughter Kathleen, of Ventura; her brothers, Royce and Warren, and their families. Per Betty's request, there will be no service. She will be interred at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura., Much gratitude is offered to Dr. James Sands who took such wonderful and thoughtful care of mom in her last few years; to Assisted Home Hospice of Ventura; and to the wonderful staff at Cypress Place., If so desired, memorials may be made to the Alzheimer's Association , the Salvation Army, or a charity of your choice., Arrangements by Charles Carroll Funeral Home.

JOSEPH N. SCIABICA SEPT 3, 1915 - OCT 29, 2010 Joseph Sciabica, who others knew as J.N. or Joe and also 'Nick' Sciabica, went home to the Lord, receiving his final healing in his home on Friday October 29, 2010. Joseph always taught his family that business was more than making money. It involved sincere relationships with customers who always deserved our very best efforts. He always said if he could not make the highest quality olive oil possible, he would not make any at all. He truly had a 'missionary's zeal' for supplying quality olive oil and loved the farmers' markets, both in Modesto and San Francisco. 'He taught us so much. We will never forget his influence on our family and we will continue to pass these ideals on to our next Sciabica generations.' - Daniel Sciabica Joseph is survived by his wife of 67 years, Gemma, his two sons Nick and Daniel, their wives Terry and Genevieve, three grandchildren Joseph, his wife Calley, Mari, her husband Robert Capps, Jonathan, his wife Katie and four great-grandchildren Nicholas, Andrew, Dante and Gemma. Visitation will be Thursday November 4, 2010 from 4pm to 6:30pm at Franklin & Downs Funeral Chapel, 1050 McHenry Ave. The family will have a private rosary and funeral service.

Joseph Sciabica put every ounce of effort into his life as an olive oil producer and face of the family-owned company at the Modesto Certified Farmers Market., Mr. Sciabica died of natural causes Friday afternoon, Oct. 29, at the age of 95. His family had not finalized funeral arrangements Saturday. His love for the family olive oil company, Nick Sciabica & Sons, was infectious., Mr. Sciabica's sons, Nick and Daniel, and grandson Jonathan, carry out the company's daily operations., Although he had handed over the company's reins, Mr. Sciabica remained a fixture at the farmers market, selling and promoting his family's olive oil., "My father's philosophy was: Go after all the business, don't turn anyone away," said Daniel Sciabica. "He didn't do it for the money., His mission was to give people the best olive oil money can buy.", The company has been in family hands for four generations. Mr. Sciabica saw the business as more of a tradition to be passed down through the years., "He taught us everything we know," his son said. "He was never afraid to let us get our feet wet in the business.", Mr. Sciabica was born Sept. 3, 1915, in Waterbury, Conn. His family followed relatives to San Francisco, where his father, Nicola Sciabica, launched his entrepreneurial efforts., During a 1924 trip to buy watermelons in Salida and resell them in the Bay Area, his father fell in love with the Central Valley's summer weather., The warm weather was reminiscent of Italy's climate, so the family moved to Salida to grow olive trees., In 1926, Nicola Sciabica founded the family company, which originally was just an olive farming operation. It wasn't until 1936 that the company started making olive oil., They started the company during the Great Depression and experienced difficulties. Others urged Mr. Sciabica to leave olive oil behind., "They never gave up," Daniel Sciabica said. "My father was tenacious.", For decades, the company's product was known as Marsala Olive Oil. It was named for the town in Sicily where Nicola Sciabica was born., It wasn't until the late '80s that the company began to offer a variety of olive oils under the Sciabica label., The company has grown as olive oil has become accepted in the American diet as a healthy option., Daniel Sciabica said his father was elated to see his tenacity and his family's work pay off., That growth allowed the family in 1996 to move operations from its Salida location to the former A&W syrup manufacturing building at Mitchell Road and Yosemite Boulevard in Modesto., Even his wife of 67 years, Gemma Sciabica, played a big role in the family business. She has written several cookbooks that use olive oil instead of butter or fat in hundreds of recipes., Mr. Sciabica loved selling his olive oil at the farmers markets in downtown Modesto, Pleasanton and San Francisco, even though the bulk of the company's business came from its Yosemite Boulevard store and wholesale operation., "I enjoy the people and displaying my product - and letting them taste it, too," he said in a September 2005 article in The Bee. "I am a salesman.", He threw himself into everything he did, including meeting new customers to discuss his family's products., "He loved the farmers markets," Daniel Sciabica said. "That's why he was such a good salesman, because he spoke to people from the heart." |

After high school she attended secretarial college, becoming proficient in typing and dictation., She fell in love with Clare Bristol, they married and had three children while still in Muskegon.

You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you. And though you've walked through Heaven's gate We are not far apart. For each time that I think of you, You're right here - deep within my heart.
