Joan Gielow (Burkhardt)1946 - February 5th, 2023
|
|
|
My friend Joan Burckhardt GIelow died February 3. I called some of our mutual friends to share memories: Peggy Tisdale Cross, Gay Parker, Pam Skinner Thompson, and Marilyn Lettice.
I met Joan at Montera in 8th grade. We had several classes together there and at Skyline. To see each other outside of school one of our parents had to drive us, because she lived in an apartment in Montclair, and I was on a hill, and there was no bus. After Skyline, Joan and her parents moved to Alameda, and she started community college. When she and her mother, with whom she was very close to, went to a First Presbyterian church function, they met Ken Gielow, 27. She married him in 1967. I was delighted to be one of her bridesmaids. Ken and Joan bought a house and moved to Palo Alto, where he worked at Lockheed Martin. Ken studied computers at U. C. Berkeley, and was an amateur magician. He described himself as a “collector of puzzles, dragons, wizards and scientific curiosities and a grower of carnivorous plants.” Joan started reinventing herself by learning new things. She took up sewing, gourmet cooking, and playing the organ. I remember Joan sending me a card saying there was a new addition to the family…. but it was a dog. It was in her mid-30’s that she had her only child, Jeffrey Kenneth Gielow, who is now a family therapist. Later, Joan went to San Jose State to get a degree in journalism and communications. She got a job with a Palo Alto paper, writing a weekly column. It even had her picture! She wrote about events at local churches. She loved having her column and called it the perfect job. Peggy remembers meeting Joan at Montclair Elementary School. She and Joan were the only new girls in 6th grade. Peggy remembers standing alone against the building at recess the first day. Then she saw the other new girl. So, she went over to meet her. And Pam Skinner joined them. She was thrilled to see Peggy. Pam Skinner shared a cradle with Peggy when their parents played bridge at each other’s houses. It was fortunate for Joan that Peggy and Pam came over, because she was very shy and anxious…. too shy even to become a Brownie or a Girl Scout. Peggy got married about the same time as Joan, and the couples became friends. Peggy remembers the gourmet cooking as well. She says she would have roast beef at her house, but Joan would cook Beef Wellington! (I first met Peggy in kindergarten, but she moved away a few years later.) Marilyn Lettice was a friend of mine, starting at Joaquin Miller Elementary. You can see her sitting next to me at the 6th grade graduation picture. Marilyn and Joan were part of a group of kids that hung out in the administration building before school in senior year. Another was Gay Parker, whom I had lunch with, usually outside, every day during senior year. Gay came into our lives from Mill Valley at Montera. We all lost track of Marilyn over the years, and I could see how excited Joan was to sit next to her at the last reunion dinner. They spent the whole dinner talking! It was then I noticed a change in Joan that was probably the start of dementia….a fuzziness and a forgetfulness. After Ken died a few years later, Joan was moved to a memory care facility where she declined rapidly. She made an effort to keep exercising and to go to functions, but she hated it there. Her best friend had moved to Sacramento, which was a great sadness to her. Joan had difficulty speaking, and sometimes she had trouble understanding. And she didn’t want visitors. After a short hospitalization, she passed away. I was very grateful to Joan for making sure we got together at least once a year, even though she was part of a couple. I wouldn’t have kept the friendship going, because I wanted to forget high school and college. I’m also grateful to Pam, who lived in Fort Bragg but would come visit her parents and drop by to see me. And to Gay who sent a Christmas card every year. I’m sorry it wasn’t until after Gay’s mother died that we started talking and getting together more. Marylaird Wood

Obituary | |
|
Dan Wightman passed away peacefully at home on November 1 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 75 years old. Born to Aileen and Kingsley Wightman at Providence Hospital in Oakland, Dan attended Corpus Christi School, Saint Elizabeth High School, and Skyline High School where his passion for playing basketball earned him recognition as one of the top five players of the year in the Oakland Athletic League in 1964. After graduation, Dan was recruited by Hal DeJulio to play center for Coach Phil Woolpert's University of San Diego Toreros. He met Sandy Nardolillo at the first dance of the school year in 1964, and they were married in the USD Immaculata Church five years later. The newlyweds moved north to Oakland where Dan earned his master's degree in English at Cal State Hayward. After pursuing doctoral studies at UC Irvine, Dan accepted a technical writer position with the California State Department of Water Resources and moved his family to Fresno. Dan and Sandy returned to the Bay Area in 1998 where Dan worked as Chief of the Civil Rights Office of the Department of Industrial Relations in San Francisco. He retired in 2005 after 29 years of State service, and received California's top civil service award, the Sustained Superior Accomplishment Award. A strong advocate for community college education and its opportunities, Dan was also a part-time instructor of English for over 35 years at Fresno City College, Sacramento City College, and Las Positas College. Teaching and interacting with his students and colleagues were sources of great joy for him.Dan took a very active role in raising his four daughters, helping with schoolwork and attending as many sporting events, plays, and other extracurricular activities as he could. He taught them the importance of following through and being a good friend. He also took them under his wing when it came to music, introducing them at a young age to the many genres he loved by way of The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Patti Smith, Warren Zevon, The Roches, Steely Dan, X, Gillian Welch, The Sugarcubes, and countless other bands. An annual campout tradition spanning 40 years gave his girls (and eventually his grandchildren) many special opportunities to view a shooting star with their Dad/Papa Dan. An avid golfer for over five decades, Dan took his game seriously, but not so much that he missed out on the conversations that transpired along the fairways over the years. Dan loved long walks and good talks. If you ever took a walk with Dan on the golf course or just around the neighborhood you know he gave you and what you were talking about his undivided attention, and made you feel like the most important person in the world to him in those moments. And you were. Dan also loved to explore new and interesting places. He and Sandy frequently enjoyed traveling together to destinations in the US, Europe, and Central America. Their 50th wedding anniversary trip to Australia and New Zealand was a highlight for both of them. And he led his friends on multiple trips to some of Scotland's most storied golf courses, exploring many fascinating out-of-the-way spots during the journey. Dan loved cookies, hot baths, and reading the New Yorker frequently all at once and sometimes twice a day. He's survived by his wife of 53 years, Sandy; daughters Tracey Wightman Zahradka (James), Amy Minasian (Paul), Elizabeth Jochum (Dan), and Claire Koski (Brandon); eleven grandchildren who thought he was the GOAT; numerous cousins; and many deeply cherished friends. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at a later date. Remembrances in Dan's name can be made to Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, or to a community-based organization of the donor's choice.

Dez Leonard is probably the most influential "teacher" I had during my 3 years at Montera. He pushed me to physical limits I did not know I had (videotaping me as an example for others who punted a football - naturally I shanked it). If you caught him alone (hard to do), you had his undivided attention, and he shared his words of wisdom with me.

Obituary | |

Longtime Resident of Montclair, CA Thomas Desmond 'Des' Leonard, an esteemed longtime resident of Montclair, passed away in Oakland on June 12, 2021, at the age of 89. Des was born in Los Angeles County on October 29, 1931, as the first child of newly-emigrated Irish parents. His family soon settled in Oakland, where young Des spent his childhood practicing basketball and baseball in the playgrounds of Havenscourt and Bushrod. A 1949 graduate of St. Joseph High School in Alameda, he attended St. Mary's College before graduating from UC Berkeley in 1953 with a BA in History. After serving in the U.S. Army, Des returned to Oakland to begin a distinguished career as an educator, attorney, and coach. He taught at several area schools, and is especially remembered for his 20+ year tenure at Montera Junior High, where in 1959, he began teaching PE, History, and Economics. In 1983, Des passed the state bar exam after studying at John F. Kennedy University School of Law, and began practicing as an attorney, serving as a deputy district attorney and civil litigator. Throughout his life, Des remained dedicated to his greatest passion: coaching sports. From the 1960s on, Des was a prominent figure in youth baseball in the East Bay, coaching numerous Oakland Babe Ruth teams and serving as director of Montclair Park's Young America program. He served as head coach of two high school teams: the championship basketball team at his alma mater, St. Joseph, as well as the baseball team at Piedmont High School. In retirement, he coached girls' youth basketball. Des is remembered with great fondness and respect by his former players, many of whom consider him an influential lifelong mentor. Des' meaningful support and guidance as a coach, educator, and mentor had a lasting impact on the lives of countless people in the East Bay and beyond. A man of resilience, principle, and passion, he is mourned by an abundance of friends who will deeply miss his kind heart, sharp wit, intellectual curiosity, quiet generosity, and, of course, his love of the game. Independent by nature, Des had special gratitude for his friends who persistently stayed in touch and cared for him in later years. Des is predeceased by his sister Kathleen M Leonard, who passed in 1944 at age nine, as well as by his parents, who both hailed from Ireland: Mary B 'Mae' [née Rock] Leonard (Ballinasloe, Galway), and John T 'Sean' Leonard (Enniscrone, Sligo). He is survived by Leonards across Ireland, including his four living first cousins, all originally from Enniscrone: Raymond A Leonard (Dublin), Kenneth A Leonard (Carlow), M. Hyacinth Roche (Kilkenny), and Missionary Sister Bridget 'Daisy' Shevlin of the Holy Rosary (Dublin). He is also mourned by his cousins in the United States: William T Viola (Ventura, CA), Michael T Viola (Ventura, CA), Timothy R Viola (Camarillo, CA), Frank P Leonard (Hull, MA), & Aoife M Leonard (Cambridge, MA). Des will be put to rest in a private ceremony at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hayward, in an area that aptly neighbors a school baseball field. Please note that a larger celebration of life event is being planned for 2022.

April 26, 1947 - November 10, 2020
Resident of San Ramon, CA Donald E. Jones, Don, was the second son born to Dan & Esther Jones in Oakland, California on April 26, 1947. He was called home to the lord on November 10, 2020 Don attended John Swett Elementary School, Bret Harte Middle School and Skyline High School, all in Oakland. His graduating class of 1964 was the first to complete the full three years at the new Skyline campus. Don learned his love of the game of golf at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton during the 1950's. His first real job was delivering the Oakland Tribune to his neighbors in the Oakland Hills. Don played football at Skyline and also at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. A broken nose and a broken thumb ended his involvement in the sport. After taking up scuba diving in college, Don and his best friend, Dave Lee, signed up to do search and rescue for the San Louis Obispo county Sheriff's Department. During their dives they recovered everything from a stolen Coca Cola machine to a cadaver. Don continued to enjoy diving up and down the west coast of California seeking abalone and in later years enjoying the tropical waters of Hawaii. Don was an avid fisherman. He fished from Alaska to Mexico all types of fish in all types of water. He was proud that he had caught two marlins, one in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and one in Hawaii. He described catching a marlin as trying to pull a VW bug up an elevator shaft and then having it fall back down again. His biggest trophy fish was a 565-pound Pacific Blue Marlin off of Kona Hawaii. Don's first job out of college was a Sales Rep for Oscar Mayer & Company. His territory was Sacramento and surrounding areas. With all the miles he traveled, Don filled his kitchen cabinets with free drinking glasses from Shell gas stations and bought Christmas gifts with books of blue-chip stamps. He joined his father at Berger & Jones Insurance Agency in Oakland in 1972. Don became active in the Young Agent's Association Winning the Outstanding Young Agent of the Year award in 1979. Don went on to be President of both the Oakland Association of Insurance Agents and President of the Contra Costa Association. His community involvement extended to being on the board of Concern For The Poor in San Jose, member and then President of San Ramon Rotary Club and serving on the Church Council for Resurrection Lutheran Church in Dublin, CA. He was blessed with a wonderful Welsh voice, which he shared with the Blackhawk Chorus and Chromatica. Don and his wife Cynthia both performed with the Blackhawk Chorus in Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, even in Carnegie Hall in New York City. Don is survived by his wife of 50 years, Cynthia Jones, daughter DawnL Jones, son Jerrid Jones, and granddaughter Juliet Jones. His brother Dave Jones (Linda), nephews Chris Boruck, Sean Boruck, Ryan Jones (Maureen), and niece Rochelle Jones Morrissey (Chris). His dogs Molly (Good Golly Miss Molly) and Daisy. He was an extraordinary man, a gentleman's gentleman, an easy man to like, and admire. A memorial service is hopefully planned for Spring 2021. Donations may be made in Don's name to International Bird Rescue in Fairfield California. View the online memorial for Donald Jones To Plant Memorial Trees in memory, please visit our Sympathy Store.

I am saddened to hear of Judy's passing. I remember her wit and how she could make you laugh.

Obituary | |

Judi was looking forward, cautiously. She was still enthusiastically making plans to travel and attend performances. She was continuing to decorate her Sonoma home because she liked being surrounded by good taste and quality. Most importantly, she was maintaining close relationships to family and friends when her colorful life was cut short on June 6, 2016, after a challenging illness. Judi, who was born in Oakland, CA, is survived by her beloved daughter Ryane Smith of Petaluma. To Judi, close friends were her extended family, especially longtime friend, Wendy Barbaria of Tiburon, who calls her "a force of nature," and Kevin Bonds, who she viewed as a son. He called her Moms. Judi, the daughter of William and Rita Braunstein, was a trail-blazing career woman before such paths were the norm. At 19, she started selling real estate in the Bay Area. In her rookie year, she was her agency's top seller. In the next five decades, she also became a successful developer, designer, decorator and mortgage broker, mostly in Marin County. She was also a single mother and proud of it.

Obituary | |

Passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 21, 2016, at his home in Glide, Oregon, at the age of 69. As one of three sons of Robert and Georgia Buechley, he was born in Seattle and spent his childhood in several states due to his father’s academic career. He met his wife of 48 years, Jerri Lynn (Siegel), in Oakland, California, and eventually made his way to Southern Oregon in 1969. Mark and Jerri Lynn raised their family in Azalea, and later moved to find their home along Little River in Glide. A born entrepreneur and mentor, Mark was a man who loved new experiences and adventures - whether in the world of business or recreation. He was a life-long encourager to any who came across his path, always sharing his Christian testimony and revelations while generously giving from his experiences, knowledge, and resources. Some of his favorite activities included salmon fishing in Canada, riding horses and fly-fishing in Montana, and enjoying life along Little River at his home in Glide. He enjoyed exploring Costa Rica and collected friends wherever he traveled. He is survived by his wife Jerri Lynn; his brother Eric Buechley and his sister-in-law Sandy Buechley; his three sons and their wives Dean, Seth and his wife Helen, and Owen and his wife Sarah; and his grandchildren Danni, Cannon, Wil, Aaron, Gabriella, Evan, and Jonathan. A celebration of life service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at New Life Christian Center, located at 1723 NE Vine Street, Roseburg, OR.

| From Seth Buechley on August 18th, 2019 | |
| Eulogy for Mark Buechley 1946-2016 Uncategorized Apr 21, 2018 Today, April 21st, is the two year anniversary of my dad, Mark Buechley's, passing. He was a a great dad and an intentional mentor. For those that are interested in understanding who he was and the legacy he left, these are my notes from the eulogy I was privileged to deliver at his celebration of life. It was an adventurous life indeed! With gratitude, ************
COMMUNE - It was there he met some loggers who spent their spare time seeking out hippies in the wood for the purpose of introducing them to the good news of Jesus Christ. Logger Evangelists !?!?
BUSINESS PHASE
- In 1997 through another miraculous turn, the man from Glide was invited on a US Trade Mission, with Secretary of Commerce Bill Daley. He traveled for several weeks with executives of billion-dollar companies, met with Presidents of countries. He loved to tell the story of motorcades and being treated like royalty throughout Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. They were shocked in Brazil when they were pushed aside like mere commoners, only to later discover it was the Brazilian national soccer team boarding the plan. - In 1998 he sold the business and entered into yet another chapter of life. ADVENTUROUS GRANDPA
- He was an optimist. He tended to believe the best about projects and about people. He would often remind us that he never met a con man he didn’t like.
Today, you’re going to hear from many people who will fill in many of the gaps in this story I just told. I’m going to close these remarks by highlighting a single character trait that, for me, defines my dad the best. I will always remember that my dad was courageous. He had the courage to stand up.
Two scripture that were often on the lips of my dad. Matt 10:32 - “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. He took this verse literally. He was unashamed, even if it made him look like a rube. John 10:10.
Courageous in his relationships. - He was an intentional mentor. If he liked you, he’d encourage you. If he really like you, he’d call you out on something, not to make you feel bad, but to call you to your best self. He would not look the other way and pretend he didn’t notice. He would take action to reach into people’s life. You’re going to hear a lot about that today.
One of the things you may recall from my earlier remarks about his childhood was the absence of felt love from his father. My dad and I had a chance to make one last trip to Costa Rica in January. Over 10 days we reconnected with many of his business associates and projects across the country. They would come when he requested, with tears in their eyes, knowing it would likely be the last time they would see Don Marcos. On this trip I was an observer of the kind of impact he had wherever he went. I was also tour guide and care giver. It wasn’t an easy trip, but it was precious. People who are suffering with a terminal disease can vacillate between completely dependent and a slightly hostile…and quickly. Several times on the trip he’d sense I was getting offended and he’d say “you’re mad at me aren’t you”. I’d start to deny it but he’d say…”Ah come here…I love you my Seth”. He always wanted to make sure I knew my father loved me. I helped him settle into bed one night on our trip. We were chatting about life and he shared with me how he had struggled over the years with the idea of grace and with receiving the Father’s love. We prayed together and shared our love for each other. It was beautiful. I was with him in the oncologist office the day he and my mom decided they weren’t going to do any more chemotherapy. He cried in a way I’d never seen him cry before. He didn’t cry because of pain, or despair. He cried as he shared with the doctor and us how amazed he was that his Heavenly Father was revealing His love to him in a personal way. Later, you're going to hear a powerful video he recorded right after he was diagnosed with cancer. I know the backstory leading up to the video being recorded, but I wasn’t sure of the intended audience. Personally, I think he recorded it for us, for this day. As we reflect on my dad’s life there are many storylines. I hope you will see the see the story of a boy reaching out for the love of a father. As his story unfolds we learn not only did he find that Fatherly love, he lived his life giving that Father’s love away to us, and to people we may never meet this side of eternity |

Clare Simpson rode away from us and into the sunset on the morning of November 3, 2015, following a short battle with metastatic melanoma.Clare was born in Oakland, California on February 17, 1947, to Henrix and Ruth Simpson. She attended Oakland public schools and graduated from Skyline High School. Following high school, she attended Chico State College, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in 1968.Clare worked for several years in the San Francisco Bay Area radio broadcast industry, but she had practically grown up on skis, and her love of skiing prompted her to move to Lake Tahoe and start her own business. She became an independent sales representative for several winter sports equipment companies. She was active and successful in her business, and was a member of the Western Winter Sports Representatives Association for thirty years. She resided in South Lake Tahoe for thirteen years, moving to Reno, Nevada in 1989. This move allowed her to pursue her other favorite avocation, golf. She became an avid golfer, joining Hidden Valley Country Club in 1990 and was very active in the Ladies Golf Section, including serving a year as Captain in 1999. She loved the game and treasured her "4 holes-in-one."Clare had many other varied interests. She loved traveling the world, enjoyed horseback riding, and looked forward each year to riding in the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive. Clare was a devoted San Francisco Giants fan, and never missed a game if at all possible. She not only enjoyed entertaining and being together with close friends, but also cooking and serving food to the homeless at Tent City on Record Street in Reno. She has requested that there be no formal memorial service for her, but donations to the St. Vincent's Food Pantry, or other food pantry of your choice, to feed the homeless would be welcome and appreciated.Clare lived her life to the fullest, and was a woman of intense convictions, passion, and compassion. No one who knew her well would describe her in any other way. She reached the "End of the Trail" with dignity, no regrets, and many good and true friends.

| I am so sorry to hear of Clare's passing. I first met her at Montera Jr. High as well. She always met everything with great enthusiasm. I especially remember how she could solidly hit a baseball over the outfielder's heads. So glad I got to see her at the reunion. She did a great job with the decorations. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with those less fortunate than yourself. |

A few notes about my best friend John Janowski So when I was 10 years old, I would ride my bicycle down 77th Ave in East Oakland and a damn dog would always come out from this house and chase me down the street trying to bite me. I had to ride real fast and keep my legs up. That dog chased every car too. In the summer of 1958, when I was 12, I was walking home from Arroyo Viejo Park and I saw this kid climbing a 20 foot cyclone fence. Why was that kid climbing that cyclone fence? Because a bunch of boys had dared him that he couldn’t do it. That was when I first met John Janowski. I thought that anyone that could climb that fence had to be pretty cool. We had lived on the same block for 6 years and never met before because the dividing line for the grammar schools was the bisecting street (Krause) between our houses. John went to Markham and I went to Webster. But we were both starting Frick Jr High together in the fall. That first meeting started a lifelong friendship. It seems like we played (depending on season) basketball, football or baseball constantly together. John had a basketball hoop on the garage at the house on 77th and we were always playing one-on-one basketball or catch with a baseball or football in the driveway. Around 1961, both of our parents bought houses in the Oakland hills near each other so we continued our friendship through high school. Since John didn’t own a car and I did, I was always driving him somewhere. I usually drove him to school every day. Occasionally, when we cut school, we would sneak onto Chabot Golf Course and play a little golf or go to Berkeley and play pool at Kips. There was a sign on the wall at Kips Pool Hall that said, “If you flunk out of school, at least you will have a job.” Hmmmmm. In 1960, my mother died and my father remarried and he and my stepmother became functioning alcoholics. Somehow, John’s mother seemed to know that things weren’t right at my house so she would invite me to dinner at least once or more per week. John was more than a friend, he was like a brother and I was always thankful that his mother and father were so nice to me. Because of my home life, high school was not a fun time for me but having John as my best friend helped me through those times. In 1965, I was in the Merchant Marine working on a ship that was bringing troops and supplies to Vietnam. During one of my trips to Vietnam, a draft notice was sent to my house, but since I was on a ship at sea and away from home, I did not know I was drafted until I came home and found out I was going into the Army in two days. Normally, they gave you 30 days or more notice. I called John and his mother answered and said he had the same date on his draft notice (April 14, 1966). She said John went to SF with some friends from high school and they all joined the Marines together and he went to boot camp last week. I always felt that had I been home when the notice came, I would have joined the Marines with John and the other guys. Oh…… that damn barking dog? Yep, it turns out it was Janowski’s. I'm going to miss you brother. John passed away June 12th.

| From Stan Lore on August 12th, 2019 | |
| Al and I went to the same schools beginning with Montclair Elementary through Skyline. Same Cub and Boy Scout dens. Played in the band together as trumpeters. I was waiting to head to Marine Corps bootcamp in late 1966 when Al was home on leave after completing Marine Corps bootcamp. We spent a long evening talking. I was interested in anything he could tell me to make bootcamp easier for me. It turns out nothing can make it easier except being in good physical condition. . He asked if I wanted to go for a run the next morning. I was in good condition and said yes. We met at Montclair branch of the Oakland public library. He then told me we were going to run down to Telegraph and Channing way to pickup a newspaper and then run back. We did. I guess it is 10 miles or so. He wasn't breathing hard. Remarkable endurance. The next time I saw Al was in Khe Sanh, Vietnam in 68. He'd been there awhile and I was just 30 days in country and still scared. He was a chaplain's assistant, spending much time at the base and station talking with injured and dying Marines. We spent a day together and then was on my way out, when he said to me " you will be fine ".I remembered those words. Still see him standing next to me saying them. He was a good friend and an example as a human being to follow. So many memories. | |

| From David Anton on October 27th, 2016 | |
| Nick was a friend of mine, and I am sorry he passed before his time. He loved having grown up in Oakland and told me many a story of his time at Skyline and those years, especially about playing baseball. In the years he worked, he made some decisions that took guts and were big personal risks. When large California banks were not treating customers right who trusted them Nick blew the whistle, was fired for it, and helped bring class actions to benefit those customers that were successful. Nick loved sports, and he and I together purchased Raider PSL seats when they returned to Oakland (not the best of $ spent), but he loved the A's and Raiders. Nick's true love was his daughter Grey. In Grey's teenage years things were tough being apart from Grey due to a marriage that broke up. Nick looked forward to his time with Grey, and was so proud of her as she grew into a woman. Nick was so proud of Grey as she progressed through college, her time abroad, and tacking teaching in economically stressed schools. Cancer got to Nick far too soon, and I and others will miss him. His friend, David |

Obituary | |
|
Wiliiam Jerome Turpin October 23, 1945 - October 14, 2013 It is with profound sadness we inform you of the passing of an honorable man. After a heroic struggle with a lengthy illness, Will drew his last breaths surrounded by loved ones. He was born in Oakland, Ca. to Cecil and Ida (Shuck) Turpin and spent his youth in the Bay area. Called to duty at 19 years of age, William accepted the draft. He was in active service in the United States Army Infantry in Vietnam until his honorable discharge as a seasoned combat veteran two years later, attaining the rank of sergeant and several military decorations. Soon after, he immigrated to Canada and spent his remaining years criss-crossing the border for both work and family reasons, between Vancouver, B.C. and Point Roberts, Wa. He was a long-time, active member of the Teamsters Local Union No. 31 and worked as both a long-haul and local driver for Marpole Transport out of Delta, B.C. for many years. Left to mourn are his wife, Andrea Lang; son, Samuel Turpin (Dana); daughter, Dawn Morey (Steve); grandchildren: Britni, Ruby, Owen, Ashley, Rebecca, Nicholas and Kristopher and great-grandson, Sawyer. Will was pre-deceased recently by his brother, Michael Turpin of Custer, Wa. As a result, his wife, Catherine, and the entire family share a double loss. Will was a man of great character - strong but kind, generous and wise. He was courageous and true. Will fought for and believed in personal freedom above all else all his life. And, as a cousin so aptly put it, "He was one of the 'coolest' people we ever knew." He will be so missed! On-line viewing of this obituary can be located at www.amherstcremation.com/memorials.

Obituary | |

Malcolm Stuart Morrison June 11, 1947 - Aug. 9, 2013 Resident of San Francisco Malcolm Stuart Morrison, a genuine San Francisco architect, a decent and conservative man, and a beloved brother and friend to many, passed away on Friday, Aug. 9th, at the age of 66. Son of Dr. John G. and Mary Lou Morrison, he was reared in a loving home in the hills of Oakland, attended Skyline High School, and learned his profession at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Immediately after graduation, Mac began his career as a draftsman with the SF architecture firm of Lanier (Al) and Sherrill (Paul) Architects and Planners, and within three years became a named partner and lifelong friend of these two men and their families. Mac designed hundreds of residential and commercial structures around the Bay Area and Northern California. Architecture was his passion and attention to detail, function, and creative design were his handicraft. His work added significant value for his clients, many of whom blessed him with their repeat business over the years. Besides his work Mac loved golf, NFL football (49'ers), and was a family dominoes champion. One of six brothers he was preceded in death by brothers John K., Randolph C., and Douglas G. Morrison. He is survived by brothers Mark J. (Ginny) of Jacksonville, Florida, and Timothy B. Morrison of Richmond, California. His nieces and nephews, Emily Morrison Austin (Michael), John S. (Kristy), Samuel A., Christopher S. (Miran), and Scott A. Morrison (Jodi) loved him dearly and treasured his dry humor and friendship with "Uncle Mac". We know he is in good hands, likely assisting the Father of All to improve "space" for all the saints who have passed. In lieu of flowers the family asks that support be given to The Salvation Army in Malcolm's memory.

Tribute | |
| From Marion "Guy" Greenlee on June 24th, 2014 | |
| Malcolm (Mac) was one of my room mates while we were both attending Cal Poly in the 60's. I lost track of him after college - a fact that I will always regret. I learned of his passing while searching the web to find him so I could get in touch and "catch-up." The obituary included above tells me he didn't change much after college. He was always the one with a cool head and a dry wit that was magnetic. I have missed his friendship for years and was foolish for not acting on my desire to contact him sooner. I pray you are in paradice Mac, and I hope they have a nice golf course or two for both of us there. Guy | |

Ken was my wonderful husband for 16 years.
How I wish it could have much,much longer. We were more than husband and wife we were each other's best friend. He had a reassuring paternal side and he always told me everything will be OK. I miss him so very much. We truly completed each other and I am now only half of what I was when we were together. Hopefully one day science will discover a method for early detection of pancreatic cancer. It deprived Ken of the long life he so deserved. He leaves behind myself, son Scott and my children Chris and Beth. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Posted by: Nancy Feldstein - Foster City, CA - Wife Nov 26, 2010 I have so many memories of Ken, but a few in particular concern our dog, Copper. Ken convinced me to get this dog after my Mom passed in 1993 as my daughter was begging for a beagle puppy. So, we got the dog.
Well, Copper was a handful and Ken and I shared very differing views on whether or not Copper should be able to lick the cast iron skillets after the meal was over (nothing ever left in those skillets but a few crumbs). So one day, I put the skillet down. Ken immediately told me "pick up that skillet and put it in sink - I don't want dog germs on it!" Of course the skillet was ALWAYS washed anyway - Well, I just smiled and let the dog keep licking away at a few meatloaf crumbs. Ken was totally flummoxed by the situation and for one of the few times in his life, couldn't figure out what to say. After that Ken finally accepted the fact the dog could lick the skillet, but when Copper started gaining a few pounds, he would look at the dog very seriously and say "Copper, you've let yourself go" - It was so funny my son Chris had a hard time trying not to laugh! We have many wonderful late night walks with our Copper - he was quite a dog. Posted by: Nancy Feldstein - Wife Dec 01, 2010

Obituary | |

Barbara “Bobby” Coleman
Frey of Piedmont passed
away peacefully, surrounded
by family and friends, on
September 28 after a lengthy
and courageous battle with
breast cancer.
An Oakland native, Frey
lived amidst vibrant Mills
women all of her 61 years. Her
family included grandmother
Florence Bloch Feldman
’21; cousins Emilie Bloch
Schwabacher ’25, Theresa
Loewy Breyer ’37, Hazel-Clair
Loewy Dwoskin ’43, and Elise
Feldman Rosenfeld ’47; and
sister Elinor Coleman ’71.
As a child, Bobby attended
the Mills College Children’s
School, as did her daughters
Allison and Charlotte. She
married David Lee Frey Jr. in
the Mills Chapel in 1969.
Bobby dedicated her cre-
ativity and positive outlook
to Mills. Over the years,
she served on the Board of
Governors of the Alumnae
Association of Mills College
(AAMC), chaired the AAMC
Annual Fund, and started
the annual fund for the
Children’s School. Her family
endowed the Florence Bloch
Feldman Scholarship at Mills
in honor of her grandmother.
Bobby will be missed deeply
by the Class of ’68. She was
involved in organizing every
five-year Reunion and worked
as class agent for many years.
Laurel Burden ’68 says,
“All of us will miss this quiet,
determined person. She has
been a force in my life from
the first day in Olney. We
have been through much in
the last 43 years, both won-
derful and not so wonderful,
but our trip to Paris for our
60th birthday celebration was
what it is all about: friendship
and love. That we will carry
with us forever.” Patti Abelov
Demoff ’68 adds, “Bobby was
courageous, took pleasure in
little things, and lived every
moment that she had to the
fullest.”
Bobby had a passion for
cooking, studying locally with
Narsai David and Jack Lirio
in the 1970s. She traveled
extensively and as recently as
summer 2007, when she vis-
ited Santa Fe with Mills pals.
Music, always a part of her
life, was the focus of several
trips. Other passions included
gardening, knitting, and
spending time at her home in
Tahoe.
Barbara is mourned by her
husband, David; daughter,
Allison; parents, Joan and
Clarence Coleman; sister,
Elinor; and an extended fam-
ily of Mills friends. She was
predeceased by her daughter
Charlotte. Gifts to Mills in
memory of Barbara will sup-
port the Children’s School.

| Janet was such a sweet kid! I remember in Chemistry, she decided her projet would be "Flowers," and, when finished, it consisted of a nice book full of pasted-in flowers with pretty descriptions written next to them. Sometimes, when I need a little peace, I think of Janet and her Flowers Book. | |

| From Dianne (aka Dhyanis) Carniglia on June 2nd, 2014 | |
| Bill asked me to the Senior Ball - out of the blue, since he was a "jock" (pitching baseball his passion) and very far from my studious world. So I retracted my promise to go with Bob Falaschi (good girl goes rogue) and went to slow dance with this intriguing stranger. That led to a hot summer romance in the mountains (Stanislaus) where I was the lifeguard at local pool. He was tender, with an extremely dry humor which kept me on my toes. We drifted apart when I attended UCSB and he stayed home at Hayward State. Caught up again in the 70's - still felt the spark. He had been in the Minor Leagues and bought a nice spread in Occidental, where he married Victoria and had 3 children. When they divorced we got together again for a few months, but he seemed depressed and self-medicating with alcohol. He eventually took his eldest son to live in the mountains and died in a car accident. His sister Diane called to tell me and said that I had always been a true love of his - bless you Billy! | |

Ronald WoodSeptember 22nd, 1946 - February 26th, 1994
|
|
|
Ron was 47 years old in 1994 when he died of esophagus cancer due to Agent Orange when he was in Vietnam. It took all those years to slowly kill him. He was a Marine and had a Bronze Star. The government came by his bedside a week before he died and connected the dots. His children were compensated for this terrible tragedy. Ron was a Senior Probation Officer in Carson City and he was the most popular officer because he cared so much for the boys and he had the largest case load of boys in Carso City, Reno, Virginia City and Dayton, Nevada. He was offered a job to be the Master of the Courts but turned it down because he didn't want to lose contact with the boys he was involved with. Ron's dream was to build a re-hab center for the juvenile delinquents. So after his death they were able to collect enough money to start building the re-hab center and there is a sign in front of the Govenor's Mansion in Carson City that says "In Honor of Ronald Wood Rehabilitation Center Carson City, Nevada." They honor my brother Ron every year for what he had done for those boys. I had the privilege to meet some of these boys after they became men and they all said "If it wasn't for Ron Wood they would be back in prison or dead. He changed their lives." Even when I was working here in Livermore a woman I was talking to, her son knew Ron and he was her son's Probation Officer and she said "If it wasn't for Ron he would be back in proson or dead." Ron lived a productive life and at his funeral there was standing room only. Young men were coming up to me and telling me about the wonderful person he was in their lives. I miss my brother so much and just writing this has brought back good memories of him and lots of tears. They use to call him the "Gentle Giant." He left behind a beautiful wife Valarie Wood and their two children Benjamin and Savannah. He also has a son from his first marriage named Deron and he has three children. Ron died in February 1994. We all miss him terribly. Ron came from a large family. He was the second born of eight children.

Saddened to learn Tom is gone. I reconnected with Tom at CSUH in 72 or 73. I remember how purposeful he was and committed to his life as a Christian. A point in time I will remember until I am gone. |

| I liked Tom. Such a sports enthusiast! And he liked to sing, too. I remember him as a positive, enthusiastic, friendly kid. I'm sorry he's gone. | |
| From Sally Holmes Voyles on July 24th, 2014 | |
| My brother Phil and I grew up with Tom (then Tommy) Muir, and our families were friends since the day in second grade when Tom was dashing back and forth between my house and his house, reporting on the number of puppies our Lab was having. His dad thought he must be lying when he said there were twelve, and stopped by to check it out. There were twelve, and his dad was flabbergasted! When Tom went to Vietnam, both my dad and his told him, "never volunteer for anything." When he came back, he said the only time he did volunteer, in the field, he came back from his assignment to see a big crater right where he'd been. So much for that advice. We lost touch after his mom passed, but I still think about Tom and the puppies sometimes. Last I heard he was living in Medford, OR with his wife Darcy and his kids, but that was a LONG time ago. |
