McMILLIAN,Barbara J. "Babs" On January 4, 2011, the world's quotient of joy and laughter was significantly reduced when Barbara J. "Babs" Snell McMillian died in Tucson, AZ, at age 65, after a brief struggle with ovarian cancer. Her husband Kent and dear friend Mags Petela held her hands as she slipped from life. Babs grew up in San Francisco and resided in Santa Rosa from 1984 until 2009, when she and her husband, Kent, moved to Arizona.

She enriched the lives of all she met with her own immense joie de vivre. Babs is survived by her adoring husband of 33 years, Kent McMillian, of Saint David, AZ; brother Philip Snell and sister-in-law Ellen of San Anselmo, CA; parents Genevieve "Jeanie" and Arthur "Tim" Snell of San Francisco; and scores of relatives and friends.

She then went on to earn her Law Degree from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1987. Caryl made a name for herself as a litigation partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner and was founder of the firm's Fort Lauderdale, FL, office. Her friends and family described Caryl as "a force of nature," who went up against huge companies on cases involving employment, antitrust, and consumer fraud issues. In a family statement, Boies's father, firm founder and chairman David Boies, described his daughter as "indefatigable". He noted that she worked with him on some of his biggest cases, including the Bush v. Gore proceedings to determine the winner of the 2000 presidential election, and the effort to overturn Proposition 8, California's gay marriage ban. Caryl was also described as incredibly caring and strong - outwardly forceful and inwardly sensitive. Her father described her as ``5-foot-2 and tough as nails.'' While Caryl achieved a high level of success she never forgot her humble roots - growing up on the Russian River. ``The only common thread in what she did was a determination to fight for what she perceived as a justice on behalf of people who would not ordinarily have access to counsel of her caliber -- and the larger and more aggressive the defendant, the better,'' her father said. This fighting spirit was evident in the way she coped with her illness, never giving up, never complaining - she continued to help others and to live and work with strength and bravery. "She really packed an awful lot of living into the time she had,'' her father said. Last summer, Caryl, her brother, Christopher, and her standard poodle, Apollo, traveled the country in an RV, seeing people she loved and places she'd never been. Her itinerary took her from Fort Lauderdale to Manhattan, then Niagara Falls, San Francisco -- where she attended an American Bar Association convention -- Napa Valley, then Newport Beach, for a family reunion. Caryl was married for seven years to Broward Sheriff's Office Lt. Col. Richard Reilly. While she had no children of her own, she was God-Mother to five children whom she adored. She was well known and very well loved in her community as a champion of people's causes, a patron of children and a philanthropist. A favorite aunt to 14 nieces and nephews, she was past-president of the Marti Huizenga Boys and Girls Club Hollywood. Caryl was also an honored Board Member of Hawk and Horse Vineyards and was instrumental in its inception and development. The Lower Lake, California property known as Diamond B Ranch - on which the vineyards and winery sit - was a favorite place of respite for Caryl and will always be a place where Caryl's memory and spirit live on. Caryl spent her final days at her river-front home in the Rio Vista neighborhood of Ft. Lauderdale, FL - the dream home she built two years ago. She was surrounded by family who loved her deeply - her mother, father, sisters and brothers as well as aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews - singing her favorite Christmas Carols and holding her. Caryl is survived by her husband, Richard Reilly; father, David Boies, mother Caryl Elwell Boies Maniscalco; stepmother Mary Boies; brothers Christopher Boies, David Boies III, Jonathan Boies, Alexander Boies, Matthew Maniscalco; and sisters Tracey Hawkins and Mary Regency Boies. Funeral services were held January 4th at Fred Hunter Funeral Home in Fort Lauderdale to an emotional crowd of standing room only. The family suggests a contribution to the Marti Huizenga Boys and Girls Club, 1111 North 69th Way, Hollywood, FL 33024, or to your local Boys and Girls Club. |

Her home was always open to friends and family. There are fond memories of having friends at dinner and the children bringing home friends from school for weekends and holidays.

She and Dad pulled their travel trailer through the United States and Canada, sometimes gone for weeks at a time. Mom's passion was her children and grandchildren. Within minutes she would strike up a conversation with anyone about her children and grandchildren and how successful they all were. There was never a question of her love or support. Her family was the love of her life. Mom was the life of the party. Even in the past year you could find her on the dance floor enjoying a special event. Mom was sure to see that many Portuguese traditions became a part of all our lives, including the famous Easter Sweetbread.

Longtime Hanford resident, Harry C. LaRue, 99, passed away on December 30, 2010 in Hanford, California. He joked with us saying, "I've passed my dad's age of 99 and two weeks and I'm still older than Sarah (his sister-in-law of who is two weeks younger). Diane and Joyce attribute Dad's longevity to always keeping busy. He loved the great outdoors and always had a garden. His specialty was boysenberries, asparagus and his tomatoes were the best. During their younger years, Harry and Dilly were big supporters of the Hanford Union High School Bullpups sports and attended nearly every football and basketball game they played. During their later years, Harry and Dilly played pool two or three times a week and danced once or twice a week at the Hanford Senior Center., Harry was born in Toronto, Kansas on February 4, 1911 to Fred B. and Ella Grace LaRue. He lived alternately between Kansas, Colorado and California, depending on where there was work. Harry was drafted into the Horse Calvary for the United States, in 1941 and trained as a tank mechanic for the Tenth Armored Division, 11th Tank Battalion. On leave he met the love of his life, his bride, Delaverne "Dilly" Olson in San Diego, California and they were married on September 21, 1943 in Kansas City, Missouri. Shortly after D-Day, Harry's battalion rolled into France. He was in Luxemburg during the Battle of the Bulge on December 16. Harry earned a, when he caught some shrapnel in his forehead. He also received a, for his daring rescue of some buddies in trouble. He was discharged in 1945 and he and Dilly moved to Hanford to make their home and raise their family. Harry worked for Cousins, Mitchell and Davies but often said how proud he was to have his job at NAS Lemoore. It gave him many resources needed to care for his family. At NAS Lemoore, Harry worked on the tugs that pulled the F-16's. He retired earlier than he would have liked due to having arthritis., Every winter Harry and Dilly traveled to Southern California to the Fountain of Youth near Indio. They looked forward to seeing their friends year after year. In 2006 (their last trip) Harry and Dilly won a pool tournament and were so excited about their trophy., Harry cared for Dilly until he was 98 when he suffered a stroke. Due to the loving care of Kings Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, he was nursed back to health. He again enjoyed getting to go to Superior Dairy, the Veterans Hall to see his pool buddies, Tachi Palace and picnics in the park. On Thanksgiving Day at daughter Diane's home in Visalia, Harry said "it was his best day in two years." During his stay at the nursing home, Harry made many friends of the nurses and staff as well as with the families coming in to visit their love ones., Joyce remembers when she was in school how she would get to go home and have lunch with mom, dad, and sister, Diane instead of school lunches., Harry was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Grace; infant brother, Edgar, brother, John in 1974 and brother, Howard in 2004.

Lynn M. Jones, PhD succumbed to cancer on Dec. 30, 2010. Her life demonstrates that we too can succeed, however challenging our beginnings or daunting the curves life throws at us., Jones was born March 22, 1947 in Los Angeles to Robert and Goldie Jones. Her birth was traumatic -- she was not expected to live. A birth-accident left Jones' right arm paralyzed behind her back. A childhood's-worth of operations at Children's Hospital LA moved her arm to the front but it remained paralyzed for life., Jones' kindergarten friend said of her at the time: "Lynn had a new cast every year, but it was a non-issue. She didn't ever think she was handicapped." Her husband and father of her two sons left her when the boys were ages two and four. For the next 20 years Jones worked 2-3 jobs to support them., Determined to advance herself, the John Marshall HS graduate "went to 10 different universities from age 18 to 42," she said, earning AA, BA, MA and PhD degrees (Psychology)., In 1983, with her new Master's degree (counseling) in-hand as well as her new Marriage Family Therapist (MFT) State license, Jones launched her new career in two parts: First she opened and for the next 27 years operated Camarillo Psychotherapy Center (CPC), a private counseling practice in Camarillo for children, teens and adults., Reflecting the physical, psychological, emotional, and financial trauma she had survived throughout her life, Jones dedicated her professional life to helping others cope with and triumph over their own challenges and pain., She called it "blood and guts" therapy -- counseling crime victims, disaster victims, victims of domestic violence, badly-shaken police officers/ambulance drivers/ firefighters, and children of divorce -- Jones saw them all. "The saddest cases," Jones once said, "are fathers of dead children. They sit out there in the waiting room in their three-piece suits with briefcase in-hand; they come into my office, loosen their coat and start sobbing. Following our session, they put their coat back on, pick up their briefcase and go back to work.", Second, and over and beyond the direct service she provided through her CPC private counseling practice, Jones founded the non-profit counseling agency, Morbrook Institute, (http://www.morbrook.org/) in 1983, as a place in Camarillo for "blending education and psychotherapy." She deliberately gave the agency an innocuous title for the safety of her clients, such as battered women: "They could say they were going to a class instead of to a battered women's support group," she said., Morbrook Institute served two related clientele: One being new MFT interns coming into the field, for whom Jones saw a gap in training. Training for these interns previously was over-priced, impractical and inadequate, she said. Result? A "teaching hospital" atmosphere for training MFT interns. The other clientele group served by Morbrook Institute was children, teens and adults in need of affordable high quality counseling., Everyone who asked for help got it; countless clients were served free of charge. But even more than that: "Good, affordable psychotherapy that helps deal with a current issue is not enough," Jones said. "People need to be offered the opportunity to develop skills to reinvent themselves. That way, clients leave Morbrook Institute better equipped to handle future adversities.", Illustrating that point, Los Angeles Times writer, David Kelly (LA Times, 03.05.01) recounts this story: "Susan, a Camarillo accountant, said her life radically changed after meeting Jones. A car wreck at age 34 crushed her legs, knees, ankles and left arm, leaving her permanently on crutches. Angry and bitter, she came to Jones for help. 'I believed everyone was staring and talking about me,' Susan said. 'I never went out, except to go to work. In therapy, Lynn would get in my face and confront me and ask why I thought I was a lesser person because of my crutches. She told me I was projecting my feelings onto others. It changed my whole way of thinking.'", By 1999, Morbrook Institute was serving 5,000 low or no-fee clients annually from throughout Southern California, assisted by a staff of 28 staff, volunteers and therapist interns, and numerous and generous donations from the community. The scope of assistance to clients expanded to include interpersonal relationships, children with learning disabilities, and much more. In 2000, Morbrook began to offer special community services including school violence prevention, crisis intervention, parenting classes, communication skills classes, childhood cancer services, and assistance to those in the community traumatized by disasters, accidents, crimes, and other tragedies., Until her retirement a few months ago, Jones served for 27 years as its pro bono Executive Director. Not only did she not take a penny out of Morbrook Institute - she frequently and generously dipped into her personal funds to supplement its income. Several of her numerous national, state and local awards include: Mental Health Professional of the Year by the Camarillo Health Care District; Woman of the Year by the Camarillo Chamber of Commerce; the Camarillo Star's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Voluntarism Award; and won the Jefferson Award for Outstanding Community and Public Service from the American Institute for Public Service founded by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis., Jones is survived by her loving husband of 15 years, David Migocki, PhD; son, Adam Meyer (Karin) of New York; son, Travis Jones (Jennifer) of Colorado; granddaughters, Kelsey Parker of California and Savannah and Shayna Meyer of New York; sister, Vickie Rabourn (Jim) of California; uncle Jim Porter (Gail) of Texas; and several nieces, nephews, and other loved ones. She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Jones in 1967; her mother, Goldie Stadler in 2008; her sister, Barbara (Pete) Darley in 2001; and step-father, Philip Stadler in 1986., Jones will be remembered by all she touched for the legacy she leaves. She made the world a better place by helping others to grow and become better people. She did this by teaching communication skills, by fostering understanding of oneself and others, and by helping others learn how to cope, rise up to meet challenges, and move ahead in life with practical skills, positive intentions, and solid goals. Most of all: she walked her talk, leading by example and deed. We honor her memory by following her example., A celebration of Jones' life will be held at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 15, at the Center for Spiritual Living, 340 Mobil Ave., Camarillo, CA 93010. Make tax-deductible donations to: Morbrook Institute, 155 Granada St., Ste. A, Camarillo, CA 93010. |

Michael E. Henderson October 1st, 1952~January 5th, 2011 Mike "The Highway Star" Henderson knew how to catch a salmon, he knew the lyrics to almost every rock and roll song and he knew how to make a garden bloom. And what he knew best was how to live an authentic life. He was a spirited child who grew into an amazing, compassionate, tenacious man who recognized wealth in his abundance of family and friends. Michael Edward Henderson died at home in Seattle on January 5th, after a long illness. He was 58. He was born in San Francisco and grew up in Novato. Mike graduated from Novato High School and attended the College of Marin. He moved to San Francisco and a position with Fireman's Fund Insurance Co., and then served in the U.S. Army in Korea. When he returned from military service in 1974, Mike moved to Seattle, the home of his beloved grandmother and a place where annual family vacations had ignited his love of the Pacific Northwest. For years, Mike looked after "Gran," letting her think she was looking after him. After she died in 1981, he purchased the family home in the University District and made it his own. From childhood, Mike was fascinated by motors and vehicles and was adept at making things work. His friend and mentor, John Mello, taught Mike to drive an 18-wheeler, helping him secure his dream job as a driver in the Motor Vehicle Service (MVS) of the U.S. Postal Service. Mike proudly worked in MVS for 32 years, retiring just months ago due to ill health. In addition to his regular employment, he served for many years as a union official, working tirelessly to create a safe working environment and assure fair treatment for all employees. Mike was as thoughtful and sentimental as he was fierce in commitment to friends and family. Years of fishing may have taught him patience, but he was born with an innate sense of compassion. He derived real joy from helping others and was well known for the many acts of kindness that defined his life. Mike was also famous for an unbending commitment to justice that included a thick file of polite but insistent complaint letters written to address corporate missteps. He almost always prevailed. He had a wicked sense of humor and a love of practical jokes. He delighted in his wall of trucker caps, numerous singing fish and other curiosities that made a visit to his house a celebration of fun. Mike was happiest sharing the outdoors with friends, whether fishing in British Columbia or on Puget Sound or enjoying his weekend home in Port Townsend. He managed to keep one sentimental foot in California - proudly wearing his SF Giants World Series baseball cap while arguing the merits of Washington's ferry system or the prospects of the UW Huskies. Almost nothing could stop him. He made it to the top of one of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, and insisted on hiking down the 308 steps to the Point Reyes Lighthouse -- and back -- while he was a cancer patient. Mike is survived by his father, Jim Henderson (Agnes); siblings Jim Jr. (Nannette), Maggie (Dave), Diane, and John (Kristi), six nieces and nephews who adore their "Highway Star" Uncle Mike; by four step-siblings and their families, and numerous aunts and uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Marge Henderson. He is also survived by many, many friends whose love and care have shown the power of true brotherhood. A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 29 at 10:00 a.m. at Assumption Church in Seattle. Contributions in Mike's name may be made to the Marge Henderson Memorial Scholarship fund c/o St. Vincent de Paul High School, 849 Keokuk St., Petaluma, CA, 94952. |

GARCIA, Michael Ruben April 8, 1993-January 5, 2011 Beloved son, brother, and true friend was tragically taken from us on the night of January 5, 2011. Michael was born at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance. He was raised on the Palos Verdes Peninsula attending Mira Catalina Elementary School, Miraleste Intermediate School and was a senior at Rolling Hills Prep. Michael was an outstanding athlete. He played baseball at Rolling Hills Little League, enjoyed horseback riding, competitive motocross, go-cart racing, snowboarding, rugby and Tai Kwan Do. However, his passion was football. At Rolling Hills Prep, he played all four years. This year he was selected as the co-captain of the football team that made it deep into the CIF Division I 8-man playoffs. Michael was a key starter and played all positions. His favorite position was middle linebacker. His #11 will be cherished for years to come. In the off season, Michael was an avid body builder. He entered various competitions at Muscle Beach in Venice. His good looks and tremendous physique landed him a job as a male model. Michael never missed the September 1st opening day of dove hunting season. The trip to Bakersfield was always exciting as his dad and uncle "Buck" Robert romped through the fields in search of their prey. The three were also great fishermen. Whether deep sea fishing or lake fishing, the three were inseparable during this time. "Money Mike" as he was called by his friends loved his cars. His bright blue Shelby Mustang (nicknamed - Zoltran) was his pride and joy. However, he could always be seen driving his big 4X4 Ford F150 truck around town. His friends nicknamed it "Koleman" because it was white and well insulated. Michael will be sorely missed. He is survived by his parents Ruben and Tammy Garcia, sisters Megan Garcia and Amanda Merino. Grandparents: Carlos and Emily Garcia, Ken and Jan Boucek and Nancy Raper. Uncles: Henry Garcia, Robert Garcia, Carlos Garcia Jr., David Garcia, Robert Raper, Robert Puga, Dan Conklin, and Dan Weaver.

LIEBMANN, Norman With great sorrow the family of Norman Liebmann discloses his recent passing. To honor his wishes, there will be no formal services. Although a brilliant and popular writer with over 50 years experience in the entertainment industry both in New York and California, Norman Liebmann was a very private person - with his comedic and also serious side showing through in all his writings. He was a writer for many celebrities, most notably Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Bob Newhart, and Johnny Carson. His Internet nickname, ("FIREHAT") came from a friend, a graphics artist, who often said that Norman was on fire with his quick wit and never ending stream of quips, jabs and jokes, and so he created the image with the bowler top-hat and eternal flame that became Norman's moniker "FIREHAT". During his long career Norman was also involved in writing and producing in the fields of television, movies, theater and literature, as well as thoroughly enjoying the universal acclaim he received on his Internet site (Firehat.com). In an interview not too long ago, Norman was asked, "What about the future? Where are you going?" Norman replied, "There are many wonderful places still left for me to go. How 'wonderful' they will be may depend on whether or not I have been invited." We feel - and many have expressed the same opinion - it can only be UP! |

Sunrise 1949 - Sunset 2011 January 5, 2011 marks the day that a lifelong resident of Sonoma County was taken suddenly from this earth and delivered to the outstretched arms of our father in heaven. He leaves behind his beloved wife Margie of forty-plus years; and his two loving sons, Jason and Chad. His daughter-in-law, Brooke; and two grandchildren, Payton and Tabitha, also mourn in the loss of an amazing father and grandfather (a.k.a. Boppa). Rick spent his early years growing up in Healdsburg, CA with his mother Alyce, sister Jackie, and late father Jack. After the early death of his father, Alyce was remarried to Les Rush, who was an inspirational figure in shaping the man Rick became, and was a wonderful father to Rick. With that marriage, Rick inherited a new brother and sister, Eugene and Lorena, who like his sister Jackie, were very dear to him. Rick spent his career in construction, laying pipeline throughout Sonoma County and the surrounding five counties. He was a member of the Laborers Union, Local #139. His career took him from Piombo Construction, to Don Dowd Co., and to what would become his home and family, North Bay Construction in Petaluma. Rick was a remarkable man. With his boundless energy, he enjoyed being an outdoorsman, particularly hunting with his best friend and cousin, Carl Goff. But his enthusiasm for the great outdoors paled in comparison to his sacrificial love for his family and his unparalled devotion to each and every member. He treasured his family, his dog Hunter, and time spent with his Uncle Frenchy. He especially took great joy and pride in mentoring his sons and grandson. Words cannot express the depth of his devotion and love as a husband, or how giving, amazing, and kind he was, as a father and grandfather, a dearest son, an adored nephew, and a beloved brother. He leaves behind a legacy of love and friendship. He will be sorely missed by so many people, because he spent his life loving and serving so many. The love and friendship he provided to all will never be forgotten. Friends are invited to attend a Funeral Service on Friday, January 14, 2011 at 12:00 Noon at Daniels Chapel of the Roses, 1225 Sonoma Ave, Santa Rosa, burial to follow at Santa Rosa Memorial Park, Shiloh Addition.

"Bob", Robert Greer "Bob" Ferver was born in San Diego, California on July 22, 1946. He passed away in Fresno on December 6, 2010, at the age of 64., Bob enjoyed a long and successful flying career initially as a pilot with the Navy and later as a commercial pilot and airline Captain., He entered the Navy through the AVROC Program in 1966, through which he was able to graduate from San Diego State College in 1969 and subsequently begin flight school. He completed his primary flight training in Corpus Christi, Tx and was designated a Naval Aviator in April 1971. Bob was assigned to Attack Squadron 97 in June 1972 after completing additional training in Lemoore, Ca. His 30 month tour in VA-97 also included a nine month combat deployment to Southeast Asia aboard the USS Enterprise. Following that assignment, Bob served as a Light Attack Weapons School Instructor in Lemoore-based VA-122. He flew both the A7E and T28 from January 1975 until June 1977. Bob then commenced the first in a series of three assignments on the USS Midway, forward deployed and homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. His first job was as a Department Head for the VA-56 "Champs," which lasted until March 1980. Then, after a brief stint in Alameda, CA as Operations Officer for VA303, he returned to the Midway in October 1981 as Operations Officer for Carrier Air Group Five flying both the A-6 and A-7 aircraft until August 1983. After attending the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base and being promoted to Commander, Bob returned for his final tour on the Midway as Commanding Officer of the VA-192 "Golden Dragons," from August 1984 until April 1987. Bob's last assignment prior to retirement was as Staff Officer for the Commander in Chief, U. S. Pacific Fleet. His active duty career was spent primarily in the cockpits of light attack aircraft, usually aboard aircraft carriers. Bob treasured the many friends he made during his years in service and often attended Tailhook and Squadron reunions to see old friends and trade "sea stories" with former wingmen and shipmates., Bob's airline career started shortly after his retirement from the military. He flew for West-Air, Air 21, and finally Allegiant starting in 1997. Bob was one of the first pilots for the airline; he assisted in their certification process and flew their proving runs prior to certification. During his employment with Allegiant, he served as an instructor, pilot, and check airman. Bob was the first pilot to retire from Allegiant, doing so in July 2006 at age 60. Bob loved flying, the friends he made while there, and helping the younger pilots advance in their careers., Bob was known for his love of wine, which included annual wine tasting trips with friends and family. He also enjoyed cribbage, played nightly with his wife Joan. He loved to sail, and in 1995 bought a sailboat with Joan and enjoyed many wonderful seasons of sailing at Millerton and Huntington Lakes with wine and good company. He particularly loved the bareboat sailing charters in the BVI, Belize, and St. Martin. Retirement also brought RV travel trips; he'd return from one trip and quickly be in the midst of planning another.
