"Celebrating Thanksgiving with mom and Lisa. Kathy lived from 9 - 16 years old in Seattle. She had thanksgiving with grandma Nel and grandpa Shirley at noon and then at 5 they drove across Seattle to Magnolia Bluff to celebrate with Aunt Elaine (grandpa’s sister) since she wouldn’t talk or interact with Shirley (her step grandfather). Her father was Hollis and when her mother died they adopted out all of the girls including Elaine."
Nancy Florence:
My Dad was a very private, handsome, kind person. He worked very hard at two jobs his whole married life to support our family. He was very religious and proud to have become a Catholic. He played the violin and loved classical and contemporary music of the time. He loved and admired our family and was very proud of his grandchildren. He enjoyed working outside and keeping our home looking beautiful. He was most proud of our car and enjoyed taking long rides in the country on weekends. He and I used to take long walks in the summer and sometimes stop for a coke or frozen yogurt. He worked downtown Chicago for many years and on occasion we would stop by his office or enjoy the lakefront on his day off in the summer time. He always seemed to be amazed at the new big buildings going up and the new cars on the streets. He was humble and as he grew older his impatience with us left him and we suffered watching him grow weak with Parkinson's disease. He was the bravest person I knew and will always be my special angel.

Ray L:
A Spirited Young Man Who Died Too Young - A very witty man with a strong personality. He loved his father and mother very much. He lived a fast life which is why he was taken from us at 21. Those who knew him were drawn to him by his humor, his personality that makes you feel a connection, and a loyalty to his friends and family.
Randy Day:
Working on my deceased birt father's family tree - My birth Father's legal name was Rufus J. Turner. He and his wife, Viva Dale Turner, were the parents of ten children. My twin sister and I were siblings #9 and 10. At the time of our birth in November 8, 1955, Rufus had left the family and moved to Avon Park, Florida. While there he sent word for us all to come and join him.
However, when we got off the Greyhound bus, he was not there. Later on he did respond to a court order for child support by sending support monies to our oldest sister, and the return address was from somewhere in Texas.
We've traced our ancestry back to England and France on our Mother's side. We also know our Father was full-blooded German. But we have no links or names to any of his parents or ancestors.
If anyone could help me in this quest, I would be very grateful.
Sincerely,
Randy Day

b 12/1888; d 4/20/1975
A hard worker, provided for all of his wives and daughters, loved his religion and his Brooklyn shul.
In my childhood, when his oldest daughter Rose was not doing well, I was happy for his weekly visits to us on Lenox Rd.
He took two buses, shlepping groceries and danish from Shlukers. I whined to him about the raisins, but he never said a word when I would pull them out of the cake part!
He smoked Camel cigarettes, but cut them in half to gradually & successfully quit, obeying his doctor.
Grandpa had a quiet dignity about him. He was always well dressed in a suit in tie.
In his later years daughter MIRIAM /MIMI arranged for him to move from DeKalb Ave to a Retirement Residence on the boardwalk in Long Beach, NY. Visits to him there with Charlie, Rose and the girls was when I first saw him in a short sleeve shirt!
He left us with strong values of responsibility to family and community.
Thank Gd he came to this country, labored hard for years to bring his family here. So now we remember him. He brought all of us over!

My spiritual sister - I got to know Mirella when I was 16 (1961).
As an only child for 15 years I had always wanted a sister. Mirella to me was the perfect sister. we lost touch over many years an caught later in life when I travelled through the US and visited Mirella and Paul.
A wonderful memory was when the three of us went to an amusement park in San Francisco. Mirella and Paul as I was were unafraid of whatever ride we went on.
I visited Mirella and Paul a number of times over the years and was witness to her illness.
She will always remain in my memory as the sister that I wished I had. Paul, looked after her to the end, and for that he has my eternal gratitude.

My Grandmother - My Grandmother could cook some delicious meals. We would go visit her in Springerton on Thanksgiving when we lived in Wisconsin and when we lived in Chicago. First thing when we got out of the car we asked her if we could go see all the pies, shortcakes and other things she made in the back screened in area. The whole L shaped screened area was covered in all kinds of wonderful yummies and orange crush was all the way up the wall. My Grandma could cook. I loved her white gravy and she asked what I wanted for breakfast I told her just a bowl of her bacon gravy. The new church in town came out with the cook book full of recipes my Grandmas other grandmas my aunts yummy recipes which I treasure still to this day. I have many wonderful memories I charish of my days visiting my Grandmothers home. I misd her very much

I a Star-Bulletin Friday, July 19, 1991 A-5 Military gives help abused families By David Oshiro Stor-Bulletin Despite the outburst of domestic violence this week that claimed five lives in two military families, a Navy social worker reports no alarming increase in the number -of spouse abuse cases reported to military officials. The number of child and spouse-abuse cases reported up over last year, a Navy official said, but officials attribute that to the disruptions of deployment to the Middle East for Operation Desert Storm. "But we think that has to do with the stress of deployment, and it be an artifact of better reporting," said Lt. Cmdr. John Reibling, family advocacy coordinator for Commander, Naval Base Pearl Harbor.
On Monday, authorities believe, Army Sgt. Brian Martin, 37, shot and killed his estranged wife Sun Kum Martin, 31. Brian Martin hanged himself in the police block Wednesday morning.
Early Tuesday morning, Navy petty officer Gregory Owens, 24, apparently shot himself in the head aboard his ship in Pearl Harbor. Officials who went to his home found his wife, Yazmin, 19, dead of stab wounds to the abdomen, and his son, Gregory months, dead of head injuries.
It is being investigated as a double murder and suicide. Neither Martin nor Owens was deployed to the gulf. 66 Unlike the civilian have never had the need to turn away anybody at our shelter. 99 Lt. Cmdr.
John Reibling Family advocacy coordinator Reibling said a check with staff at the Joint Military Family Abuse Shelter indicates that neither Sun Kum Martin nor Yazmin Owens had sought refuge at the center. The shelter, he said, has had an average of 15 women seeking help each month recently. "We haven't detected any discernible increase in the number of cases at this point," Reibling said. "Unlike the civilian community, where folks are being turned away, we have never had the need to turn away anybody at our shelter," he said. If either woman had been seeking help, they should have found it, he added.
In event of an emergency, Reibling said clients from all branches of the armed forces can contact the Joint Military Family Abuse Shelter, 24 hours, at 533-7125.

He was a career Air Force. He was generous. He would step up and try to help others. He married my mother Maxine and adopted her three young sons. He was a good provider.

My Uncle Dean - My uncle Dean was a very nice man who had a pug named Susie. I remember my uncle telling us that she was going to have puppies. I asked him if we could have one of her puppies and he said we would see and that Christmas we got one of her puppies and named her Heidi.
George Dunne:
A true patriot - Helen Irene Dunne Heinz was one of 13 children born to an Army family at Fort Riley in Kansas. She along with her older brother ( my father ) and younger sister were sent to live with their maternal grandmother in New Jersey to ease the strain on the family. She attended nursing school in New Jersey and was a roommate with a woman who eventually became my mother. Helen served as an enlisted officer along with her surgeon husband in the Korean campaign's MASH units. She was a stunningly beautiful woman and as our family rumors have it, she was the prototype for the character of Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on the TV show M.A.S.H.
