William Perry Shurick
William Shurick was first and foremost a religious and family man. He loved the outdoors and converted his one-acre family home lot into beautiful trees, plants and bushes. This was difficult in the Los Angeles area they lived as the rock bed was not too deep and always challenging to grow anything on. Later when he retired and moved to Gig Harbor, Washington, his yard was the envy of all around. His love for my mother was life-long. They knew each other as children and she was his focus throughout life. 60 years into their marriage my father took his last breath. On his deathbed, my mother was worried he might not remember her (dementia had begun its evil course). She said, Willie, do you remember me? His reply was quick and clear "yes my love, you are so beautiful". My dad was given 24 hours to live and he fought to stay alive until my mother returned to his bedside. When my mother walked into the room, she took his hand and it was at that moment he took his last breath.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
