Jamie was always a good friend and a stand up man. I spent a lot of time just driving around and laughing with him and Andrew .He will be missed but not forgotten
I did not know Mr. WESTERMAN, but I have followed a series of twist interns have been found one of his watercolors that I purchased from a Goodwill in Arlington Virginia. As a professional photographer, I highly suspected that this one image was taken and referenced from one of his photos that he would capture. An image from a subway car in New York. One of The figures in the painting looks familiar, as if she modeled for him in a poster stage situation. I noticed some other possibly acrylic paintings he has done of a woman with a man and at least two different poses. Very interesting man. I just watched an excerpt from a PBS Oregon show he appeared on, and he seemed to have such a nice Non-threatening approach to random people on the street that he asked if he could take a photo of them because he might turn it into a painting. I guess everyone wants to be the birth of something artistic like that. The watercolor was entitled “Lexington Avenue Express” and was painted in 1993 and is still for purchase on Ebay
I had the pleasure of working for Shelly when he owned a restaurant at the old Yamhill Marketplace. He was a good employer and I learned a lot working for him.
Missing you, gramps. Love you 😘
I did Kristin’s hair for almost 20 years and am saddened to hear of her passing. I’d seen her at her home a few times in 2022 and was always hoping for a call that she needed a bang trim. Sometimes we drove each other nuts but I loved her laugh, her creativity and her resilience. She made me a beautiful rainbow sweater I will always cherish. It was always fun choosing hair colour with her and seeing what cool outfits she’d show up wearing. In my mind she’ll always be a strawberry blonde, laughing in silver clogs.
Aunt Sylvia, she made good home made raviollis and I always enjoyed my visits with her.
Sylvia is a beautiful soul with a heart of gold.
Prayers, hugs, and love to each of you..May God give you strength and grant you his peace..much love the Cheyenne Crew
Aunt Sylvia made the most beautiful quilts and had quite a collection of them. She also was one great cook, and her Italian cooking was the best! Friday nights dinner and cards was fun too. I wish I could’ve done more of them.
Lisa was a dear and treasured friend. She had incredible wit and a style all her own. Tall, athletic, radiant, beautiful - that was Lisa. A gifted writer who understood human nature and expressed it in her words. She had a magical way of making people feel special because she truly appreciated what was unique in everyone. Her heart was so open. We spoke often, sharing memories of when we both worked at Shaklee. When I think of her, and I do often, I remember that smile, that laugh and her incredible energy. I will miss my friend forever.
Such a great guy. Apatheticaly funny. It was my honor to call him family while he lived in my care home. He loved his family.
Joe and I have been best buddies for 32 years. A great man, artist and just a good dude in general. I have nothing but praise for the guy as he was one of the good ones. See you soon brother.
Dear Charles, Corrina, Kristin, and Ben and your families: Lois’s life was about love and courage. It was a truly beautiful life. I tell you this neither as someone who knew her well nor as someone who is very good at total recall, but simply remembering the many times Lois and Charles have shared with Sharon and I, a colorful pallet of possibilities in life from which we were able sketch our own pathways. I first met Charles in a laundromat in Chapel Hill’s married student housing in Odum Village. My friend Francisco and I were doing laundry while Charles was holding and lulling an infant while her mom could finish her laundry. Caring. Soon we become friends through the Newman Center where we attended weekly mass and met Lois and the Corrina, Kristin, and Ben. The many times we had dinner at your house, it was accompanied by music and singing. Charles played his washtub bass once and I recall a Dulcimer that he had bought from a mountain city in North Carolina showing up one time. Sharon and Lois exchanged many ideas on sewing which they both loved. Before our first daughter Brittany was born in Chapel Hill in 1993, Lois and Charles gifted us a beautiful handmade changing table. We still treasure it and will hand it down to Brittany, your godchild, when she will hopefully have her first born. We were fortunate enough to meet Lois in 2009 when we visited Portland and relived precious memories and shared stories about our growing families. As I read Lois’s life accomplishments, when her feet were nimble and light, when she moved from one successful project to another, we can all feel the strong fabric of love and caring that she built for those around her. That is what it was all about, wasn’t it? Love, caring, and compassion, about which she so artfully wrote to Ben in 2005. Our love, thoughts, and prayers will be with all of you as we celebrate Lois’s beautiful life. ~ Bathi, Sharon, Brittany & TJ, Naomi, and Courtney

I just remember Lois, the few times when we shared a space, as willing to be delighted. She enjoyed a good chuckle.
Uncle Joseph was a wonderful person to have grown up with and and to converse with later in life. Our sympathies to you all.
It’s been two years. I love you still.
My grandpa was the most special light in my life. All the opportunities he provided to me are a priceless staple in my life to this day. I would not be the visual artist I am without his guidance and his valuable lessons. I miss him so much, and I feel so lucky to have been such an importance to him. I love you grandpa Joe.
I don't think I ever met Lorraine. But did meet many of her family members and based on them she must have been a wonderful and loving person. The world needs more of people like her in it right now. Sorry for her passing.
I was very lucky to know Lois. She was a beautiful, kind, caring person and a real joy to be around. She touched so many lives and many wonderful memories of her life will live with us forever. I will remember her warm smile, intelligence, kindness, generosity, love for animals, and passion for helping her community. Lois will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. The world has lost a remarkable person, but heaven has gained an amazing angel.
I remember Lorrain so well. So energetic and fun. /she and her two sisters June and Sister Consillia Mosey visited their mother at Maryville Nursing Home and always seemed to have such a good visit with her..am grateful to have known her.
so that we do not forget as one person said - no one believed what was before their eyes
Dear Chuck and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Lois was such a sweetheart, such a very good human being. I knew her as a young mother when I got to babysit the girls. Thank goodness her heart will live on in her family and all who knew her--as she was a blessing to so many. Sending a big hug across the miles. With love, Sandra
I know we’ll all be together soon. Save a seat for me in that movie theatre, and come visit me in my dreams again.
Lois led such an exemplary life. She is someone we can all emulate. Her service to the poor, to women, to her family, to children is astounding. May Charles and her family be surrounded by God’s peace, knowing that Lois lived her life with love.
What an exemplary life Lou’s led!! She certainly showed us all how to live and be of service. I had no idea she had accomplished so very much in her lifetime. May God grant Charles & her children peace in knowing that Lois did so much to help other woman, the poor of our society, and made Earth a better place to live.
I’ve thought about Lois a lot since Dale told me about her Parkinson’s. I remember fondly the times we spent together and the impact she had on me as we started our family. She was an awesome person and she will live forever through her kindness to all people she touched. My sincere condolences and blessings to your family.
Deepest sympathy to Chuck and his family. So many fond memories of times with Lois and her family. She was deeply concerned with other people and lived out that concern. I remember her great vegetable garden in Iowa!
Greg gathered up a bunch of coworkers and taught us to play the Telestrations board game at a company offsite. He was awesome at getting people to come together and just spend time playing and getting to know each other. I have missed him since I heard the sad news years ago, and I still miss him years later. He was a lot of fun and a great person to work with.
We miss our Hawaiian "cousin" so much! A hui hou Girard.
I loved Lisa from the day I met her. When you were with Lisa, you knew something especially fun or magical was going to happen. Her belly laugh was like that of a child. Infectious. And her ability to see the good in others was equally childlike. I met Lisa when she was 'the perfect size 10'. We were in our 20's. Our friendship went for decades, and while those around her aged, Lisa never did. Her openness to the world and people around her, and her ability to see the beauty in the simplest things will always remain with me when I think of her. Some people bring a special magic to this world. Lisa was one of those people.
The last fond memory I have of Lisa is when she came to Canada for a family reunion and she, Uncle Darcy and I went for a Bike ride together. We went quite a ways and I loved her endurance and spirit! We had a great bike ride and a great reunion with lots of laughs! I am really sad not to have been able to spend more time with Lisa as she was obviously quite a wise and thoughtful woman. I would love to get my hands on her book/writings. She would have had a lot of wisdom to share with our daughter Ally who is also a writer and soon to be graduating with her first degree in English. Lisa, you were way to young to leave us but we will always have wonderful memories of you. You and your family are in our heart and prayers xoxo.
Murray and I have very fond memory of Lisa. It was our thanksgiving and we went to Portland to stay with them for the weekend. Lisa had just been diagnosed shortly before that. Lisa toured us around on Saturday, with Murray being the driver . We saw Frank Lloyd Wright home in the Oregan Gardens. She insisted she make us lunch because she figured we had spent enough money driving down. She made us grill cheese sandwiches, they were no ordinary grilled cheese. She had filled them with jalapeno peppers . They were the best! Hot as the dickens , I think Murray used extra ketchup that day. The next day D'Arcy and Lisa toured us around Portland, my highlight of the day was going to the huge bookstore. Lisa and I came back with beautiful coloring books and felt pens. We colored our afternoon away and it was most enjoyable. Lisa had the most sweet spirit about her. Our sympathies and prayers to all the family . Jean & Murray Romain
Hi Jade I miss you so, so much. It's taken years for me to accept that my best friend growing up is up above. I think about all the shenanigans we got into and experienced together, your mom was furious! Life isn't the same but I know we will hang out again someday. Sorry it took so long to post I know your kicking ass up there. Love you lady
My beloved son. I miss you every second of every day. I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since I last got one of your hugs or heard your laugh. I cherish all the memories that I have. You’re a great son and I love you very much. I know you’re enjoying your new adventure…and I know your looking out for us all. I love you, Zack. Love, Mom.
Richard was a great guy and I admired him for his love of family and business knowledge
Kristin helped me and showed me kindness during a critical period of my life. I grew to love her and am heart broken to have heard of her passing. Sending her love here and to the great beyond, wherever that may be.
Thinking of you and your family. Clare was such a wonderful person. I feel lucky to have known her.
I met Shelley just a handful of times, thru her daughter, Shawna, but I knew right away that she was a force to be reckoned with. May she rest in peace. Prayers of comfort to all of her much beloved family. Sincerely, Michelle
I was sorry to read of Janet's passing. She was a lovely, caring and kind person. There is never enough time with loved ones. I am sure she will be greatly missed.
I will never forget how Bernie got me the meds I needed when I had severe flu at age 8! It was on a weekend and Bernie opened his pharmacy and mixed the meds just for me. Thanks to him, I am now 79! Thank you Bernie.
Oh Janet, I will miss you so. You were always there for me when times were tough. You had so many great, long enduring friendships. That says so much about you. How special am I to have had you in my life.
Goodbye my friend. I will miss you and our hourly chats. We talked about everything and laughed all the time. I was thinking today about the time you were taking (and treating) Fran and I out to lunch. I said, "I'll drive." Oh, no!" you said. "I insist upon driving - it's my treat to you girls." I thought to myself, "I'm not too sure that is a good idea. Jan is 90! She shouldn't drive us that far. She might be distracted by us chatting in the car." BUT drive you did, and we had a wonderful lunch. I told you later that you drove better than Fran or Janet Brown." And you did! We laughed together. We had so many fun times together (remember the time we had coffee at Fran's and JoAnn talked constantly? You said, "Never again!" I'm thinking of you today and I do miss you; but as you said, "It's time." Keep an eye on your loved ones and look in on me once in a while. Love, Kathy "
Dearest John & Family I am so deeply sorry about your shocking and unexpected devastating loss of your beloved wife Clare, your life long love, best friend, and soul mate; and for your family, their much loved and loving mother and grandmother, dear Clare. My heart is deeply with you all in this horribly tragic time of loss in your Lives my Darlings. Heart full of Love for you All, from your sister and their Auntie Lorna 💕xxx xxx xxx
Dorothy was and is may favorite Aunt and I wish to grow up to be like her, someday. She'll guide me while she's singing with Jesus' Choir. 'God Bless You REAL GOOD,' Dorothy. Amen. Happy Birthday now as you graduate. I hug you.
Deepest sympathies to the McNeur family on this tragic loss. Clare was so kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I pray your lifetime of memories sustain you as you grieve the loss of your beloved.
Grandma was the best Grandma ever! Her life in every way was such an example for everyone. She was the kindest, most positive, ever giving, loving person I have ever known!! She will be missed.
I cannot express the sorrow I feel about Clare's passing. May she run pain free through sunny meadows with Moe and Emmy, surrounded with hummingbirds and flowers.
Clare was part of so many cherished memories. So many exotic once in a lifetime trips. You will always have those amazing memories within your heart. She was an incredible friend, full of love, sincerity, and joy. I will deeply miss her.
We’ve known Clare for many year and traveled together… she was loved by all will be deeply missed.

Semper Fi brother. Thank you for service in the Corps. Bear
Bravo Zulu Vaughn
Vaughn was the type of person that when you met him you felt you knew him forever. I will remember the laughter we shared. Vaughn could make you feel special just with his beautiful smile. Those whom we have loved and lost are no longer where we are no longer where they were they are wherever we go. Rest In Peace dear brother in law. Love Carol
Sending much love to you all at this tremendously hard time. Though we are miles away I give you all support. From your extended family in Canada. Love from, Melissa, Leif & Daisy Berry
Mr. Dindia hired me to teach at Rigler School in 1980. He was a kind and caring administrator. I taught for him for two years before taking a maternity leave. Gus was easy to approach but I will admit I was somewhat embarrassed to tell him I was pregnant (remember this was forty years ago and things were different back then!). I'd only taught for him for two years and felt badly about not staying longer. However, he accepted my situation and wished me well. Gus was a dignified educator who positively impacted many staff, students and families.
Thank you, Grandpa, for all the wonderful memories. I will miss our weekly dinners and hearing his stories. He always ended his stories saying how lucky he was. Surviving the war, stumbling into education, and meeting the love of his life, grandma Joan. I loved that at 99 years old he still called her a babe! We were the lucky ones, to have him in our lives as a strong and caring patriarch and a true example of how to live a life centered on faith, love and family.
He was a mentor, hero Godfather,Uncle and friend ❤️ to me and so many...family, friends, students and co-workers. He understood what unconditional love was and shared it with us, we felt safe and supported ❤️ Angel 😇 on our shoulders ❤️
Another Mom gone . You are dancing with the ease and style of Ginger now aren’t you sweet Mary Thank for never kicking me out . You should have .but ya didn’t . Love & light .
Thanks for never kicking me out . You were a Mom to me in my heart . See you up there .
I also remember Mary Lou on those camping trips that we would take with Kim’s family and my family. A very gentle and nice lady.
You are a great grandpa. Love you. I know Neil loves you too. We'll be together soon enough.
I had no chance to know you but I know your mum since we were little girls. I know how proud she has been of you. Rest In peace dear.
Hey Jade it’s been 11 years since you were taken from us. I love and miss you every day. I see your photo on here and an it remind’s me how beautiful you are. Auntie loves you and misses you more than you’ll ever know.
For Carol,, always a bright light in our world, in our lives.
With great honor, I had the privilege of hearing "Manny" speak in Pendleton, OR. I will always be so thankful to have the memory of such a wonderful of him praying for me; of receiving a hug and a kiss from him. I will continue to carry a special place in my heart for him. (And the fact he signed my personal copy of his book is priceless.)
My heart, thoughts and prayers go to his Family, Friends and his GJ Brother's. He was so young 2 be taken from the ones he loved at only 25. He will 4 ever live on threw the ones who loved him. Again I'm so sorry 4 your loss. R.I.P. Jacob, you may be gone but never forgotten. ⚡⚡🖤The "Craz" Family🤍⚡⚡
Prayers to your family ❤️
I only met Jake when I started working with axis security he did always have a smile on and he was a great guy I would loved to known him better outside of work. but he was always a happy guy and he will definitely be missed
I love you baby boy….no matter how old you were, you were always my baby. You lived a full life, on your own terms regardless of what others thought. You passed away the only way you’d want to go….that breaks your Mama’s heart. Until we meet again my precious son.
He was the brother of my best friend. His dad was remarried to my best friend's mom and my best friend told me often about stories of him. Nobody should be judged based on their ethnicity or family.
You will live on in our hearts forever ♥️ Until we meet again sweet, sweet nephew!
Sending heartfelt condolences and prayers for Jacob’s family. We are so very sorry for your loss.
Jake & me went to Mcnary high school he was a good friend of mine we tried to stay in contact after highschool he always knew how to put a smile on anybody’s face he would light up a too With laughter and smiles when coming into it. You will be missed Jake. I remember in class at Mcnary we would be joking and talking loud in class we’d always get in trouble I’ll forever remember our memories.
The last time we met was so many years ago...never knew that would be the last time we would ever meet...may all the happiness be with you...rest in peace my best bro
What a wonderful human being. I only knew her on the periphery and a few close encounters, but her spirit, oh that’s spirit that was just so gentle around you. I always felt safe and valued. Thank you for the kind words that were always enough to head me in the right direction. Rest in love and peace
I am so sorry to hear of Kristin's passing. My thoughts go out to her family and friends. Kristin and I were friends in middle school and high school and I have so many great memories of those times. We went to many concerts together, Badger games, took ballet, went to the pool, and listened to music on Kristin's awesome stereo. Kristin was so creative and always up for adventures. I will miss her and cherish the memories I have.

Ms. Hecht lived long, sharing smiles and kindness with countless ones along the way. For those who were a part of her life's journey may you look forward to the hope of continuing that journey with her when God's promises are fulfilled. Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:29
Thinking of you mom every second of the day !!!
I remember John and the Wa Toy fondly. My parents brought me there as a young child in the late '60's. I recall to this day how friendly he was to me and my parents. And how much they loved John and his restaurant. I always loved playing songs on his juke box ("Baby Elephant Walk" was my favorite at the time). Rest in peace, John.
I taught Terry to fly back in 1988. He was one of the nicest guys and most enjoyable people to teach. He really loved flying!
Terri you will be deeply missed! I know Tucker misses you dearly🐾😥 Our thoughts and prayers to your family. Love Lisa Burd and Myrtle Okazaki
I new Paul as a PHS officer. He help men to find a job. Great person. Great memories of him.
Watching sunsets with you, forever.
Tony remains one of the most talented designers I will ever meet. I will never forget his passion when we were designing boots for the winter olympics. I couldn’t help but smile and admire his enthusiasm, nor the lengths that he went to to make brilliant concepts come to life through his prototypes and beautiful drawings. I continue to think, to this day, that it was so lucky for me that he offered to fly me out on a moments notice to Florida in 2020, as he left important documents in Detroit. Not only was he a great host, but helped me reschedule my flight for important business I had back at home. If I had known it would be the last time I would see him, I probably would never of left. He was generous, patient, and genuine. The world loses an incredible talent, but I hope that his friends, colleagues and I will continue to be inspired by his passion.
Many happy memories of Terry sailing penguins against me and then in later years occasionally having her crew with me at Columbia and Skokie Lagoons.
Dear Tony, we used to be very close and had so much fun during our time in college, you're a very smart, hard-working, and talented designer. I was so happy for you that your shoe design got selected by Jeremy Lin and it became the Jeremy's first signature shoe. I wish the world would have seen your talent better. But I'm sure you're shining on the other world. Rest in Peace my brother.
I vividly remember being a member of a Value Engineering Team with Terry, having worked with her for many years at Greeley and Hansen. We drove to the VE study together to Elkhart, Indiana. She was very knowledgeable, and a very fun person to be around. I am so honored to have known her.
I'll never forget the wonderful day I spent with Terry and Kathryn in 2017, sailing on San Francisco Bay aboard the Santa Maria, skippered by Captain Dave. Terry shared many amazing stories about sailing around the world.
I only just found out 10 years too late that this kind human being who along with his wife Evelyn were patrons in a restaurant where i worked .,passed away. If i knew where to send flowers, i would
My dear stepson I miss you so very much, words cannot even express!! I am so thankful of all those special moments we shared together and how you felt protective over me, how you and I ganged up on your dad to tease him!! I will forever treasure these moments. I love you with all my heart!!
Steve’s Celebration of Life is on August 13th at 3pm in Manzanita, OR on the beach where “Pacific Lane meets the ocean.”
I knew Sue in the 70's when Sandy and her had the house on NE 33rd, PDX. She was a fine person and well liked by all. I wish I'd looked her up when returning to the states. My sincere condolences to her family and loved ones.
Yo, so check it, my man BIG RON or DRON for short, comes from when I was living in Treehou5 about 5 years ago. Me and Nelson Mandingo would be late night chillin, watching "The X Files," and then up from the depths would come BIG RON, and he would head for the kitchen. He would sneak a couple snack-y-poos and then head back to the basement, from whence he came. The other memory I have is him screaming at his computer. I later realized that he was playing PUB-G, and I understood where he was coming from. My first roommate in the Marine Corps used to scream at his TV, and it gave me flashbacks of living in Tr33Hou5. And ultimately, all I can say about BIG RON is that he had the biggest heart. He was immensely selfless, and cared more for those around him than himself. He took the time to ask about my day and always cared if something was off or wrong, and gave his input respectfully. BIG RON, brother, you will be missed. I love you.
The few times I crossed paths with Ronnie he always left me with a feeling of love and laughter. His smile is most memorable and permeating in my mind. That smile radiates in glory now. Oh love and prayers for all the family and friends. Comfort and grace in this time of passing through the valley. Love, Mary and Shaun
I have had the pleasure of meeting Alex in his new form. He is rather strange but other than that a great person.
Many across the greater Washington DC area remember Paul as a welcoming host for a club of French language speakers, a host who could not have been more friendly. We have many fine memories of gatherings in his home when camaraderie flourished spawning many long friendships. Best wishes to John and to his family and friends.
We love you so much Becky! I will never ever forget the good times when we all started hanging out and became family. I will forever miss you my beautiful friend 💕😇
The first day we met on New Years in 2016.. you never changed. Just amazing woman, smart, kind and the love for your family and kids I admired. I always said I wish bonds with my siblings like you! You then became my big sister I never had! Thank you for everything, the talks, legal advice being my shoulder to cry on when I told you about my mom. I love you girl! You’ll always be in my heart and I will never forget you! 💙💙
First, condolences to the Williams and Random family. I met Becky through a mutual friend and she instantly became a part of my very small circle. So kind and giving and easy going. I could never step into her home and not be forced to have a white Russian. I was so happy to have a friend that was an attorney. I would say, "my friend practiced law" and then call Becky to get legal advice. I was proud of her accomplishments. Here I am a lil black girl from the hood having drinks and good times with my white lawyer friend. Lol I use to say, "I always wanted a white friend Becky" and she would say something goofy in return and then we'd laugh and I'd say, "You know you my favorite white girl" lol she never took my words as anything other than love. Becky you will definitely be missed my dear. It's hard to believe you're gone. I hope you know that you were loved by many and losing you is a hard pill for us all to digest. God has you now and I know you're looking down and seeing the many lives you've impacted. Rest easy Becky with the good hair. Blessings to all friends and family.
As my writing coach she taught me so much as she read over a romance story I did in 1995. I am still working on the revisions. I will miss her funny comments on what she had read. It was truly a pleasure knowing her.
"What a world went with her. Ours" What distilled love and sorrow. I did not know this bird--could not have. And yet, because of you, poet, family, I too grieve for the loss of this lovely girl. Do not think her influence upon this beautiful, horrible world stopped when she stopped flying--it didn't. Because she was lovely, and you loved her, and said so, I, an unrelated old man with sons who have lived twice as long as she, I now know know something of power and beauty which she gave to her brief world. Because of you, poet, family, I will remember Simone, a girl I never knew. Some will say that she is dead. I will tell you that she is changing my life. Thank you all.
ralph and sandi miller

Firstly, I would like to send my condolences to the family. Mark was one of a few people that I first met moving to Oregon over 30 years ago. There's so many things to say about him he was one in a million. He was a stand-up man. Throughout the years we had plenty of good laughs and Good times together and that included Jeff one of his good friends. If you needed it anything mark would be there for you. Rest in Peace Mark. You will be missed 💞
We shared many BBQ @ the crib and I’ve always appreciated how welcome he made me feel when I was there. Good memories.
Our deepest sympathies 💙May you have peace and comfort in your memories💙
Paul was such a dear friend of ours and part of our family for over 25 years. We so enjoyed all the laughs, wonderful times together, and the delicious meals he prepared. We feel so lucky and fortunate to have had Paul in our lives and will miss him dearly. His love for John and their four footed furry family members was so heartwarming. May God Bless Paul and his memory will live in our hearts forever. Paul & Ancil
I remember just listening to his stories about life and how Mark and him had such a great relationship. He was someone that I respected and look up to. Mark Cassandra my prayers go out to you and your families.

I am just now finding out about the passing of Steve Tichenor. God speed old friend. Steve is also survived by his first wife Patricia Ostrom of Champaign Illinois. We all met Steve shortly after he arrived in Oregon in the summer of ‘72 with another friend from Oregon he met while stationed in Texas with the USAF. Steve became our bands mechanic, tech guru and around Mr. Fixit. Zany and larger than life with a sharp sense of humor and always up for a party. For ten years we all lived the life of rock&roll outlaws, misfits, international “importers” and general pranksters. It was a great ride and like all such things came to an end too soon when most of us drifters off to our own corners. Lost all track of Steve for almost thirty years for which i am most sad. I hope someone posts up when the celebration of his life will be happening. Rest easy old friend. See you on the other side.
Steve was an incredibly positive, dynamic spirit amongst the people he called his friends and I was honored to be counted as one of them. We shared a relatively short period of our lives together, maybe ten years all told, but he extended his generosity to me on many, many occasions, the most selfless being the repair of my first car after a nightmarish road trip on snow and ice coming home from a gig in Madras with my rock band. I learned how car axles were replaced and what happens when a wheel bearing goes out and you're far from home! He did this in the driveway of my parents home, an operation that took several hours and asked for not a penny from me in recompense, instead encouraging me to keep playing music, a promise I made to him then and have continued without stopping all these 50 years later. The memory of his big heart and love of music will stay with me always, but especially his always positive go-get 'em attitude which lifted me up so many times as a very young man trying to navigate adulthood. I will miss him dearly and treasure his memory! God Bless you, Steve!
Paul was such a wonderful friend to cats! His generous support helped save and improve the lives of many cats, as well as the people who came to love them. In our conversations with Paul and John, their dedication to their personal cats was also every-apparent. Emily and Ennis, the cats Paul and John lived with while we knew them, were very lucky indeed. We are grateful for the time we were able to spend with Paul and John together, and even to have "met" Ennis during a video Happy Hour.
Kay I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Gumberts passing you were the best i ever worked for
Rest In Peace my Friend You are missed Love ❤️ Dave and Steve
Dearest Sister: You will be missed. Love, Rosemary
Norm was both a mentor and an inspiration to me as both a young, and not so young lawyer. I will never forget his advice and kindness.
A mother never forgets those who offer support and acceptance of their child. This is what Susie meant to our family - support and friendship. From our first meeting at Chehalem Elementary, she became an advocate for our son. Time went on, we stayed in contact and the events we shared together always were teaching moments - the art of living life. How precious are our memories of this wonderful lady. We were honored to be in attendance Friday. We pray for comfort for Tom, Joel and Emilie and family.
Sending you lots of big hugs, Cheryl. You were certainly "the rock" for your mom the past 10 years since Darryl's death. She was so lucky — and very grateful we're sure — to have had your continual caring and attention. ❤️ Lynn & Tom
Norm was a mentor and friend to many of us in the law community. Always a gentleman. A life well lived.
I second what Mike says. Aunt Lucille was just the best. She laughed and visited with us. My trip to see her and Uncle Irv in 1987 was so fun.
Aunt Lucille was one of a kind and will be missed by so many. Condolences to her family, especially to Lisa and Gareth. I always cherished our time with Lucille. I loved that she kept all the pictures we and others sent her on her wall as you walked in the door. I remember mt son crawling on her living room floor and giving me the biggest smiles. Lucille was atrue gem. Miss you Lucille!
Five years today, I still think of you and how much good you did, how much more time you deserved. I love you forever
My treasured time with Susie was during the early pandemic when she needed companionship and a bit of direction. It was not easy to find the need behind her bright presence, ready conversation, quick recall, enthusiasm and big laugh. I found her hook in dropping a Yiddish word in the conversation, often unsure if I was using it correctly, and if not, she was sure to put it in context. Only in hearing of her full life can I measure how much was impacted by dementia, Susie remained curious and elegant, lipstick and all. To Susie, Tom and family ~ Yehi zicha baruch.
What a great lady our Aunt Lucille was! Her parents both born in the 19th century, and she survived well into the 21st. She was our link to the past. She was smart as a whip. She was so good to our mom, her niece. They weren't that far apart in age. They could both talk into the wee hours. She was a Ketcher: when they loved you, you knew it. Condolences to Lisa and Gareth and their families.

The first and last time Lloyd visited my house, we yelled at him to “take off your shoes!” He turned around and left. I was sad.
George was a great guy. We went to coffee and lunch, but it had been quite awhile since we got together. I got to help him at the bakery and had a good time. We have missed George and April since they left Acts Church. He will be missed
Gene was a very special person. He will always be a bright shining star in his family. He friendly and caring and made friends everywhere he went. Everyone who knew him loved him, especially his family.
Just leaening of her passing yesterday. Had not had any contact with her in many years, but she was alwsys so pleaant & kind towards me when we did! Prsyers to her & her family.
I work for Frank and Mary. Mary always had a smile on her face and it was a very pleasant person to be around she will be missed
Loving you and missing you every single day. I hope you had a huge dance party for your Birthday in the afterlife.
Blessings dear friend.
Maya, sorry for the huge delay. I heard about your dads passing years ago. I think about him often. I'm sure he didn't know, but he was a big influence in my life. He all is well for you. Craig info@skyservicesinc.com
Jag minns dig idag min älskade Morbror, och saknar dig precis som jag saknar din syster, min Mor Elfi. Tyvärr har jag ingen kontakt med dina barn idag och det är tråkigt, men livet går vidare. I really miss you, my dear uncle.
I met Jason at a picnic with his family. He and I hit it off and talked for along time. His kindness was always present. You are with Jesus now and we will all meet again.
Bobbie, I know that you will be truly missed by your family. Walk alongside them while they are trying to come to terms with the fact that you will not be here with them. I know that there are many of us who will cherish the memories that you have left with us. May you rest in peace. Leave some dimes and pennies so they know you are with them and dropping the Pennies from Heaven. Also if one of them has a smart mouth could you possibly make them trip. You were always fun to be around I enjoyed so many events with you. Those things I will miss and keep cherished. Always and forever your legacy will live on.
I just really miss you.
Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord forever. Ms. Bobbie B. MCcoy was a loving, honest, giving, kind, wonderful, and respectable person. May her legacy she left behind remain with us to be carried on in our journey through life. Praying for the family during this very difficult time. Sabrina Sumlin and Family
May Pat enter the gates of Heaven with the bagpipes a playing the Scottish National Anthem “Scotland the Brave.”
I am praying for you Deborah and for your family to remain close and cherish the memories you have of time with your Mother. Love you Shirley Scott
Your love of Jesus shined through your eyes and your singing praises to Him was a blessing to everyone that got to hear you.
I remember Jay in 6th grade. Always a nice guy. I just read that his mother just passed away so I googled Jay. So sad.
Pat always had a smile on her face. She loved to educate and talk about her doll collection. God has created a special place for her.
Pat Gaddis... she was an unforgettable lady and friend to many of her children's friends. Pat was like a second mom to many of us who were fortunate to have spent time in the Gaddis household. Godspeed Pat, you will long be remembered, and missed.
Pat Gaddis was one of the few people i've met who was thoroughly interesting. My mind never wandered even after hours of listening to her memories. Maybe it was because she remained interested, without any rote, in what she was saying--it stayed live for her, not totally past. Faulkner said, "The past is not dead. It is not even past." She didn't take me back as much as bringing events forward so we shared a layered present. Pat Gaddis stayed a girl her whole life. Thanks be to Big Bob who provided the love and understading to support this and make the miracle of Pat Gaddis possible, REAL, enduring.
Pat Gaddis was one of my favorite people. She was a lovely woman who always had time for everyone, and my life is better for knowing her. One of the world's brightest lights has gone dim. God bless and God speed, Patricia.
Pat was a member of Portland Collectors Club (originally Glass Club). She always had interesting things to share for every program at our meetings. She loved showing her collections at both of her homes. And we all learned from her knowledge. She was a treasure and will be missed.
I remember Pat from the DBE. My mother, Florence Happold, and Rita Knight had lots of fun "trouble" together. Pat was loved by everyone! My condolences for your loss.❤❤
I knew Pat from Russellville. My mother was there at the same time (she passed in Oct). And we got to watch Pat give a show and tell presentation of her hats, and some of her other favorite pieces of her collection. After that, I always greeted her and chatted. I thought her a wonderful, cheerful, kind woman! May God continue to Bless her! With my condolences - Nancy
I loved Patty's happy perspective of life. I'm blessed to have known her.
I loved Patty's happy perspective of life. I'm blessed to have known her.
So sorry to hear of Pats passing. She was one of my mom and dads favorite people. Pats husband Robert was my fathers (Virgil) first cousin and Pat helped my mother Merrily with her estate sale and other antiquing things they did together. She was always a very upbeat person and we are very sorry for your families loss.
Patty could light up a room with just a smile. She was a beautiful person and will be missed greatly. Rest in peace and love.
Kindness was her middle name.
Dad I miss and think of you every day!
I am missing you Vanessa. I love you.
So sorry you are gone! The world was a brighter place with you in it! I am so sorry for his loss to his family and friends! He is already so missed!
Billy was such an awesome guy... Helped so many people and was always so positive and so much fun to be around! Can't believe you are gone billy! You are already missed!
I am so sorry for loss of your sister .Sending prayers and hugs your way and the family.
Hi, I just want to share that Amy was a beaming light in the lives of so many colleagues and friends. I am so sorry everyone, Amy was amazing and it is truly devastating that she is gone. Love and hugs to her family and friends ❤️
Family..my heart is with each one of you..no words can fill the loss of a precious lamb..but knowing jeannie stood fast for God ..through trials of life ..those who stood the test will wear a crown.Find peace in knowing she earned her crown..Amen
To Amy's friends and family: I know our words may not quell the grief you're experiencing, but I hope you can find some comfort knowing how much of a powerful impact she made on so many lives. Amy's smile is forever burned in our minds . . . serves as a good reminder to speak up for those who have been minoritized and marginalized and to love as hard as your spirits allow. Amy's light shone so brightly; I know she'll continue to inspire and she won't be forgotten. My heart is with you all as you grieve.
Amy was just, so bright. Her smile, her laugh, her personality. When you talked to her, you felt like the most important thing in the world. She only wanted the best for everyone, such a loving soul. To her family, thank you for sharing her with us. I will always remember her and cherish the memories and the countless laughs we shared.
Amy was light, laughter and a true joy to be around. This is such a loss to so many people that her life touched, including mine. To friends and family, please accept my deepest condolences. May her memory be a blessing.
I met Amy in 2010 after my world had been turned upside down by personal tragedy, and I was just a shell of myself. Amy saw I needed a friend, and she really helped bring back to life. She had a way of making those around her feel seen, included, valued for their uniqueness and idiosyncrasies. Her sense of humor was second to none. Her passionate advocacy inspired me and helped shape me personally and professionally. I want to offer my most heartfelt condolences to Amy's family - and I want you to know how much she meant to me and to so many others. She was a bright light and I am so grateful to have been lucky enough to know her.
Amy was a ray of light & I will cherish my memories of her. I send my deepest condolences to her family. I love you Amy x
Amy was a ray of light & I will cherish my memories of her. My sincere condolences to her family, Amy was one in a million & I loved her.
I wanted to send my sincere condolences and share a few words. Truth is, I don’t know much by way of churches or funeral homes. I always thought the outdoors are God’s greatest cathedral where one might venture out in an effort to look in. Which, perhaps, is why on this day I found myself walking outside beside a river, in the snow, when my thoughts naturally found their way to Amy. There was nothing ever subtle about Amy. Striking wit, voice, laughter and smile. She wore many emotions on her sleeve along with some beautiful ink. To me, that’s just who she is. I knew Amy from a brief snapshot of time when attending nursing school and thereafter as she helped me secure my first job. She is a true badass—doesn’t mince her words—and has the conviction and passion to do whatever is necessary for the best outcome of her patients and her friends. With the outpouring of love it’s clear that those who have known her feel a devastating loss…collectively shedding ribbons of tears that now link into rivers providing exposure to depths which would otherwise go unseen. The tapestry they paint are a marvel for good reason—one may only think of the Grand Canyon to take in the full effect. Yet some grief, like a river, is so expansive that it can not be waded across but rather walked beside. So, I’ll walk beside this for now and remember the incredible spirit of the person who is a reprieve to many—patients, family and friends alike; has the fortitude not to take shit from anyone; and who embodies a love which will ricochet in the chasms of our hearts a little longer than always. You are missed but not forgotten, Amy.
Amy was an amazing person. I am grateful I was able to connect with her as a friend and coworker. She is missed. So sorry to her other friends and family who are grieving.
Close to a year ago I experienced the death of a young patient during the Pandemic. I felt awful and was riddled with everything that went wrong during that situation. Amy gave me a hug and reminded me that I did everything I could for the patient--her support helped me cope with that patient's death. I will miss Amy and will always carry these beautiful memories with me.
Amy’s incredible beautiful smile will always be burned in my mind. She was always the warmest, friendliest, funnest girl around - not to mention her great style. She deserved many more years and there is no condolence for this loss. I will treasure her memory and be richer for having known her.
I am so sorry for your loss and all of our loss. Amy was such a bright light. We met thru Shriners on our weekly visits for our son Gabriel's infusions. We all laughed so much together making our time much more enjoyable. She had a way with kiddos and was easily one of our sons favorite nurses. We are so devestated we will never see you again. But we will always remember your smile and beautiful soul.
My son and I got the chance to know Amy over the last two years at the hospital during our visits. She always was willing to talk to Jacob about Anime and always had treats for Dapple. I am so very sorry for your loss and she will be greatly missed by everyone who met her.
To Amy's friends and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Amy very well, but liked her immediately. She was such a great nurse and her patients were lucky to have her. She was the kind of person you wanted to be around and I wish I had gotten to work with her more than I did.
To Amy's family and those closest to her, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Amy was brilliant, beautiful, and an absolute joy to work with here at Shriners. She had a precious way with hospitalized children and was consistently able and willing to put herself in someone else's shoes. I will miss seeing her beautiful face and sunny smile.
I am so saddened to hear this news. Amy was a great friend and so much fun to be around. My heart is with her family during this difficult time.
To Amy’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. Amy was truly one of the brightest people I knew. Her laugh filled the room, and her love for those she cared for could be deeply felt. Amy, I miss you.
Amy's family and friends- I am so, so sorry you lost such a beloved soul. Amy was a joy to everyone around her. Kind, funny, helpful, and genuine. Everyone who loved her will never forget her, and I am happy she got the time on this earth that she did. Thinking of everyone grieving from this incredible loss. Amy, you deserve the world, and will never be forgotten. So much love to you.
My deepest condolences to Amy's sister, brother and family. Amy was a special light on this earth. May she be free from this world and live on in the hearts who knew and loved her.
Steve, I literally just found out you had passed. Please know, "My Cavallo Brother," that you are incredibly missed and deep in our thoughts. Rest In Peace, Fellow Trojan and Wonderful Friend.
I am glad to have known her. RIP Donna.
I framed so many of Donna's art pieces. She was creative in ways so outside the box and she she always had a vision for just what she wanted. I admire that kind of self-confidence and artistic exploration. She was a creator...made in His image.
Oh, Steve! My dear, dear friend of my heart. You were the kindest friend I've known. You with your beautiful soul, your giving heart, all ready to help wherever you could. You and your goofy jokes, your big ol hugs, and all the raucous laughter we shared. . We were a little crazy. Times with you made every day spent with you perfect. I have all these memories... and I'm sure going to miss you like crazy! You were one of a kind! One day, I'll see you again and I know you'll be there with arms outstretched and laughing.
Words cannot express the sadness I feel. The world's loss of a wonderful, caring man is heaven's gain. I'm sure his 'sainted' mother has welcomed him with open arms and they are sharing a good book. So long, Steve. You will be missed more than words can say.
I was saddened to read that Lesley passed away. I met Lesley at Our Lady of Sorrows in Portland. Lesley was the beautiful girl in school that all the girls were jealous of. She was beautiful, kind, and befriended this fat ugly, Awkward girl that came into the school. That girl was me. Lesley shopped at Nordstrom's; I shopped at Fred Meyers. She never made me feel I was below her. Yes, she introduced me to “Queen.” The posters of Queen and Freddie Mercury cover a wall in her room; she loved Freddie. One time Lesley and I went into Fred Meyers and stole “ Sally Hansen's press on nails, “ We were convinced would-be caught. When we got outside, we threw the nails away in the garbage and ran home. Lesley and I remained friends off and on Throughout our teenage years. Lesley was the first person I confided in about the abuse I was going through living with my mother. As time went by, she and her mother (Fran) helped me and my brother get away from the abusive home we lived in. Fran (Lesley’s mom) was a special lady, kind and beautiful. That apple didn't fall far from the tree. I ended up going to live with my father in Washington. Lesley came up to visit me several times. I would go and call Lesley in Oregon. I ended up moving back to Oregon with my mother. It was the summer between our freshman and sophomore years. Lesley told me, “don't do it” ( she told me even though she would love to have me back in Oregon, please don't move back to your mother's). Lesley was that caring person that would tell you how she felt but would never tell you, “I told you.” I found my strength after living with my father and stepmom. The ugly duckling became a swan. It didn't work living with my mother; I left her house when I was fifteen and moved in with my boyfriend. Of course, Lesley was there through everything. We lost touch through the years. I didn't see Lesley again until 1988. I was shopping at a mall in Oregon City with my baby boy Benjamin. Do you know that feeling that someone is watching you? This lady was staring at me from another store across the walkway (the stores had all glass). She would glance at me and look away. Of course, I stared at her the whole time. I took my baby, and I was going to confront this chick. Yes, it was Lesley Fouche. We laughed, she said, “ I knew it was you, Tandi, only you would keep staring). Lesley was still beautiful and kind. She invited me to her sister Robin’s wedding. Lesley would continue our friendship like time hadn't passed. I attended Robin’s wedding. Robin was just as beautiful and kind, loving as her Little sister Lesley. Lesley had me sit in front to the left of the Church. I felt so uncomfortable; it had been years since I had seen the family. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I felt uncomfortable because I couldn't tell Lesley how horrible my Relationship was; I sank fast. Lesley never knew how people could watch her and see her strength. Her beauty wasn't just the outside. Her beauty was her whole being. After seeing Lesley, I got my strength back. I moved back to Washington. I found a wonderful man and have been married for 31 years. Lesley and I found each other when she moved to Kansas City, MO. We had talked a couple of times. Throughout the years, I would look up Lesley. As I would expect, she was living her life. Lesley had her way of touching people, not always in words. Most of the time, it was that look; she tilted her head and smiled. Her eyes would go through you, and she knew what you needed. Lesley Fouche Jackson Definitely left her mark on this world.
A kind man.
Joel was a kind and friendly guy, he will be missed. RIP
Miss you Mom
May HaShem bless all mourners. And be available to comfort all mourners

I had the pleasure of being Dean of the College of the Pacific during the latter part of the service Robert and his wife Janine provide us all. They embodied the ideal of the educated and cultural aware person the College hoped to graduate. They saw language as the gateway to the refective life and provided a host of ways for students to become language learners. While they contributed to scholarship in their field and to the life of the College and University, their first concern was their students. They were able to convert several generations of undergraduates to the importance of language and culture despite the social and administrative upheavals of the times. They have been long remembered at Pacific and contributed to the image of the school as a sanctuary for liberal learning. I am also aware of the positive home environment they provided for their sons. Their footprints endure generation to generation.
Dear grandma this is maya your granddaughter. I miss you very much I wish that you could have met little cousin Nolan and laken. You would have just loved them Love maya
My beloved son. I miss you every day...Love, Mom
Mom and dad were an amazing pair. I have so many good memories of them at Coyote Bobs and the Elks. Barbara was beautiful inside and out and was kind and gracious to our family (except in Casino). She loved to win. I have been so blessed by her take great comfort that I will dad and mom in heaven. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May her love give your hearts comfort and peace.
Dear David and Kirsten: I am a cousin of Carol's. My dad, Lloyd, was a brother of your granddad, Walter. Carol and I re-connected a few years ago over Van Wechel genealogy. At the time she told me she and my dad had something in common - they were both "oops babies". But where would we have been if they hadn't been oops babies? Please, know my sisters, Shirley and JoAnne, and I send our condolences to both of you and your families. Sandra Van Wechel Christensen, Yakima
My best and favorite neighbor miss her dearly I remember eating frozen blueberries and ice cream on her lawn swing while my father picked all of her berries for her
Mom & our Dad were such a great love story and it is comforting to think of them together again in heaven. Even though we’ll miss her, she is no longer missing him. Praying Bill and Susie and their families experience His Comfort in this final goodbye….but with the hope of a heavenly reunion someday.
I really enjoyed working with Ernest in my younger years as a kitchen manager for the Kopper Kitchen restaurant chain. I worked at many of their locations, and Ernest and I got along famously. He was always happy to see me and had a great sense of humor. I left the company in 1981 to work for Frito-Lay.
Lost my Wife Jan 3 2016 watched program on EWTN. Brought back memories of my wife Judy of 40 yrs. Sorry for your loss.

Thinking of you as you spread your wings to fly. You will be greatly missed by many. Fly high now Angel.
I will hold in my heart the memory of Joshua. He was always so kind and polite. He seemed to deeply care for the people he surrounded himself with. We will not forget him. I hope the beautiful memories of his life bring you healing and peace.
I will always remember Joshua's gentle spirit and polite, kind manner. I wish love and healing for his family. Please know that he mattered to us!
I never met Joshua in person. Through his mother Teri! Over the years I've come to know and love this very special young man. RIP Joshua . I asked my sister Joyce to welcome you with open arms
Joshua, I love you so much. You looked peaceful and rested. Thank you for being a bright light in the darkness, for loving with all of your heart, and always making me smile. Your memory will live on. I love you so my baby boy.
I just remember Kevin's round little face and smile. It was so long ago I only see him as a little boy. I hope and pray you and your family are comforted. You have always meant so much to me.

May God's blessings be with your family dur Prayers and sincere condolences to the family.
Hello my name is Brian Neff To Geri & to all your family I just recently Found out that Brett has passed away. Brett Was a great person..Rest in peace Brett 🙏
Pumpkin died today. If there is an afterlife, he’s spending it on Ray’s lap.
Clark County Food Bank was a beneficiary of the beautiful life of Marilyn Cameron. With her husband Gerry, the Camerons were generous and caring, wanting to make sure that the people in our community were taken care of and helped. We appreciate the beautiful tribute that was written here and have good memory of Marilyn’s graceful and true beauty, the delightful sense of humor, and the sparkle and joy she brought to every situation. Many thousands of people in our community were helped and served because of Marilyn’s desire to give. The hungry have been fed, and this life is the reason why. You will be missed, but your legacy lives!
My favorite memories of Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Gerry was when they would take me out for our birthdays. It was so sweet of them but because Gerry and I shared birthdays it was extra special.
One of many lovely memories I have of Marilyn was the occasion of her 40th birthday. Mr C, as I called him, had put extremely large lawn signs in the neighbors yards so any drivers approaching the house could read the message GUESS WHO’S FORTY! With a prominent arrow pointing to the Cameron home. Marilyn was slightly embarrassed but pleased as well with the attention and good wishes she received from all. It was a beautiful and fun party that I was lucky to attend as a friend of her daughter Susan. I can still see Marilyn’s face at the unexpected arrival of a dear old friend she hadn’t seen in ages. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Much love to all her family.
In reading this most beautiful, heartfelt and loving tribute to Kevin, I am moved by the richness of the experiences of him by those who knew him best, and by his legacy of love in having donated bone marrow to his brother, Jake. I will never forget, Cathy, the day you discovered that Kevin was a match for Jake. Were it not for his selfless, lifesaving gift, there might not be the three beautiful children who have added so much love and happiness to your extraordinary family. May Kevin Rest In Peace, and may you and all his loved ones find comfort and peace in memories and fellowship.
God speed sir Your work here on earth is complete It brings us great sad your gone but we rejoice your coming home to the Lord I pray for the strength for your family
4 whole years and this loss still stings. You will always be missed Jasmine, you were the greatest teacher ever and never restricted anybody. You'll always stay a positive influence
I miss you so much Corey I love you and I know you watch out for me wherever you are.
Heartbroken to hear of the passing of this terrific young man with the infectious smile. Our memories or Kevin are all fun - Halloween humor as a River Vale teen, snowboarding/ski trips to Lake Tahoe and Vermont (where, always unique, he opted for lasagna over pancakes with real maple syrup for breakfast), backyard BBQs and many more. Although we have not had the pleasure of seeing him for many years, but will fondly remember all the times we enjoyed with him and his wonderful family. God Bless him in his eternal rest, and God Bless his family who have to deal with this great loss.
I miss you every day, my dear brother. Rest in peace. With my love.......
I met Kevin when he was a colicky infant - but when he stopped crying, his gorgeous eyes, his smile and his cute cowlick made you forget that he ever cried! I had the opportunity to meet up with Kevin a number of times over the years. There was no crying when we got together - only smiles, laughs and his urge to share his favourite. eateries. Kevin was generous with whatever he had - and the courage that he mustered to get on a plane and donate stem cells was astounding! He showed me courage that I rarely get to see. When I get into a hard spot and have to muster up courage, he is one of my sources of strength.
Dr. Cogan was my first dentist when I moved to Portland in 1971. He was not only an outstanding dentist but a wonderful and kind human being. His memory is indeed a blessing.
It was a blessing and joy to work with Gerry when he created Willamette Dental Group, and when I was with Cascade Health Care. He was a real leader and innovator. Also, he took good care of my teeth for many years, and I enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. May God rest his soul.
We and Gerald and Zadell were married four days apart in 1952 and our first children, Laurie and Mark, were born a day apart in 1956. He was a special brother, brother in law and uncle to all our children and we have many fond family memories.
Dr. Cogan, This makes me very sad! You will be very missed. I really enjoyed working with you for so many years. Rest now & be at peace.
Dr Gerald Cogan was a tireless and passionate advocate for protecting our constitutional rights and freedoms. He was a steadfast supporter of the ACLU and the Democratic Party. Please re-read the Preamble to the US Constitution. He was devoted to the ideals of our country, and was writing a book based on the Preamble. He was a man who took to heart the admonition of the prophet to love justice and mercy and walk humbly with the Eternal. He will be missed.
Such a kind man. Enjoyed working with you Dr. Cogan. Condolences to the Cogan family.
Wonderful man; fond remembrances; an honor to know you.
Daniel & Lisa - you’re in my prayers. I’m sorry for your loss and offer my sincere condolences for comfort during this time of loss. I admired him greatly.
Oh, this makes me sad. 🥲 Such a sweet man. RIP Dr Cogan…My condolences to the Cogan family.
Enjoyed working with you so many years
So sad to hear, המקום ינחם אתכם. (Hamakon yenachem etchem). Condolences to all the extended family; to Uncle Gerald's siblings, his children and his grandchildren.
So sorry to hear about the passing of my brother Bob. He read books while I played outside. Very proud of what he accomplished throughout his life.
We are so thankful to have spent time with Ed, especially after Margaret passed away, when he shared stories about growing up on a farm, when the family dog saved his life at a very young age, and some of his memories of being part of the Normandy Invasion and being recruited to drive General Patton around periodically. Many of these visits were over breakfast at Elmer's or later at the house with the hospitality of his family or in front of our house, visiting with Debora and Ed on their way home from a scenic drive. We will miss you dear friend!!!
Debbie, Barbara, and Steve, It's hard to believe your dad is gone. It truly feels like the end of an era! I never knew he had served overseas in WWII. As a child it never occurred to me to ask. My memories of Ed are from childhood, when we lived directly behind the Doells on the same block in North Portland. We attended the same church, and Debbie and I were in the same class in school. My dad and Ed took turns, week by week, patiently driving us kids to school in the mornings. If I remember rightly, Ed drove a Mustang in the 60's? The memories that make me smile the most: Ed and his beloved Chihuahuas. Ed carrying puppy Mindy around in his shirt pocket. Ed racing outside at night in his bathrobe to rescue Cindy when she tangled with a raccoon (he actually grabbed the raccoon and flung it across the yard!) He really loved those dogs! Debbie, it meant so much to us that you and Ed came to my mom's funeral. If I had known in time, I would have been there at your dad's service. My condolences on your loss.
Steve, So sorry to hear about your dad. He lived one hell of a life. Our thought are with you and your family.
Uncle Ed, You will be truly missed. Even though you weren't my real uncle, that is what we all called you at Van Specialties for the many years we worked together. RIP God bless you my friend
Mr. Doell was one of our favorite patients. May he rest in peace Jean Wilson (Mrs. Dr John Wilson)
We are thinking of the Doell family and sending our sympathy and support. Edward lived a long and productive life and was blessed by his wonderful family. With love from John and Suzanne
You were a good man, Ed Doell. With all your loved ones again.RIP, Cousin. My condolences to Steve, Barbara and Deb.
From a baby boomer to one of the last of the Greatest Generation, thank you, Ed Doell. You saved our country and the world. We owe our security and prosperity to the sacrifices of your generation. Thank you.
What a great life your father lived. The appreciation I have for the great sacrifices he has made for all of us are impossible to describe. Steve, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
To the Aigner family. My name is Steve Doell. I did not know Les. I was reading his obituary last night. It is just above my dad’s on the Holman Funeral Service website. It appears Dad was one of his liberators at Dachau. What a coincidence. Or is it synchronicity? May God bless Les and may he rest in peace. Take care of yourselves now.
I knew "Uncle Ed" from Van Specialities, when I would call on Greg & Lori Storm. What a grand gentleman!!! Always had a kind word to a factory rep. as he had been one many years ago. May he rest in peace--HE WILL BE MISSED.
I met ED at Perry South in the 80,s. ED turned into uncle ED. I bought a truck and had uncle ED order a hitch for me for my Ford 250 truck and in 2005 had another hitch installed on my gmc at his place of work Van Specialties. We will miss his clicking pen and joking around. God Bless You Uncle ED.
Dad, I love you and miss you so much already!
Out of all the mommas in the whole wide world I got the very best one.
So sorry to hear of Roy’s passing. I got to know Roy well over 20 years ago at US Bank. He was a great mentor and a fun loving guy. My condolences to his family.
I am so sorry to hear of Leonard 's passing. My condolences for the entire family. I fondly remember the years we all grew up together.
Roy was a great guy…loved by many. He was smart, fun and hilarious…and a great friend to many. The world has lost an amazing man.
Lloyd was always kind to me during my marriage to Forest, always glad to see me.
I have good memories of discussing astronomy and using a telescope with Harold when he lived in Eugene Oregon. My oldest son remembers Harold teaching him algebra when he was 9! He liked flannel shirts and was known to iron them! I always admired how careful he was with his diet of course he had to be! I treasure the patience he had with my son Josh in teaching him about math and astronomy.
I am so grateful to have had Sally's friendship for almost 20 years. I appreciated her warmth and cheerfulness and am so thankful that she got me started with sangha. May her family find comfort in those many years of memories.
May you rest ever peacefully little brother… I was glad to see you lived a life you loved.
zackary i know our time was short but the inpact you made in my life well be for a life time i love you and miss you dearly rest easy
Sally, we will miss your smile. You had a way of lighting up the room and making even the worst days brighter! Thank you for giving us the honor of getting to know you! Senior Haven will forever remember!
I as fortunate to have Dr. Hulse as my professor when I studied at Lewis and Clark College. Dr. Hulse was an excellent teacher and a wonderful person. I am grateful for all that he had taught me.
I remember Dr. Hulse as one of my favorite professors when I studied at Lewis and Clark. Dr. Huse, was an excellent professor and a wonderful person. I am grateful for all he taught me.
Cantor David Rosenberg could never decide between flipping pizzas, or spinning the draidel.
I am a friend of Sally's from the Buddhist community here in Portland, Oregon We had a friendship in our Sangha activities and out of those. I loved her humor, honesty, assertiveness, deep thinking and an adventurousness in her life. She inspired me to be authentic, kind and to work on that middle path of an honest and calm view of where life takes us. So special to have in my life for a long time. I send love to her family and friends. Claudia
What beautiful gifts she shared with her family, friends, community and our planet. We are all better for knowing her gentle and radiant spirit. Condolences to her beautiful family and may she walk in light.
This light will live on, shine upon us and guide our path.
Together again
The two longest road trips in my life were driving from Portland to Vegas with friends and from Portland to the beach with Great Grandpa. If you’ve ever driven with Grandpa you know that the Vegas trip was faster. Aside from driving incredibly safe, it was the air he wanted to breathe, the scenery he wanted to see, when we arrived it was the crashing waves he wanted to hear but most importantly the time with his loved ones he cherished most. I was certainly not appreciative of such a life lesson at that young age yet as I grow older, it’s a lesson which has stuck with me as I continue to learn how to enjoy time as he did. For that, I am forever grateful. Thank you Grandpa <3
I knew him and I liked him. Sad to see him go.
I first met Cherie as a young girl and remember her as a warm, loving person with an exciting "waterfall laugh." Cherie always had a smile for all of the Camp Fire Girls. In 2004 it was Cherie I turned to for help finding a new home in the tender months after my divorce. She was professional, an good advocate for me in the purchasing process, and as warm and welcoming as ever. Cherie understood it was a tough time for me, and she took me under her wing. I am privileged to have known her. Tears and hugs to the family.
Robert and I were more than cousins, two years difference in age. Bob as he was known to us was a special person . I was very sad to learn that he had psssed away. His wife Carol had passed away approximately 6 years ago. We do spent our early years in Seattle , Washington and had frequently maintained contac, even after he moved to Beaverton, Oregon
Kent, Wendy, Kristie, I’m sorry to hear about your mom- she was such a nice lady- I still have a great photo she took at a sleepover at your house, where there was always something creative going on and your mom could always be counted of for kindness and refreshments. (Kristie- find me on FB- lots to catch up on)
I am so sorry for you and your girls. I knew Danny many years ago, moved and lost contact. He was the epitome of love and honesty. A very deep man of thoughts and dreams. This is just such a loss. much love to all of his family
I was blessed to have met my cousin Cherie during my college years back in the mid 60's, Cherie and daughter Kristie, came to Montana on a vacation to visit relatives and to see our area of Montana. They seemed so happy and joyful that I wrote to thank them for their visit upon their return back home. Thus, a wonderful family friendship had started. As I look back in remembrance of Cherie, I think of how meaningful and encouraging she was along my life's journey. What a wonderful,caring lady Cherie was to me and to others that she touched. Unforgetable were the family ski trips to Mount Hood, the exciting salmon fishing trips on the mouth of the Columbia, River and the enchantment of the trip through Oregon's Lava Cast Forest. I will always remember Cherie as one of the "shining stars" to my life. May Cherie's wonderful family and friends hold memories of her deeply and tightly within their hearts. Thank you, Cherie, may you rest in peace. . .
Cherie was one of my favorite "moms" of my dear friend, Kristen, during my teenage years. She always welcomed me into her home with her beautiful smile and genuine warmth. She was full of enthusiasm for life and so very clearly dedicated to her children. Such a very lovely person. Her generous and giving spirit lives on in my friend, Kristen. My deepest condolences to all her family and loved ones.
Yo. Zack. Thanks for been in every meeting for my recovery!!! I will never forget that spark you had everytime you spoke was from your heart!!! I will remember you having the spark ⚡️ Of hope, trying to change for the good. I wish we would of known each other but one day we will. Rest Easy Brother in recovery.
I love you baby... I'm gonna miss you your smile your eyes your everything your laugh 💗 everything about you brightened up a place in a second. I miss you
I'll always remember everyday you'd call me as soon as you woke up and before you went to sleep. Every hour was a phone call telling me about what an awesome day you had an how excited you was to try something different. Tellin me how beautiful I was and calling me Lenora Ayana Botts. I can't believe your gone 💔 and I know your in a better place and prayers and hugs sent to your family from me. I love you Zackary Shane Botts... My Angel 😇
Sending my deepest condolences to his mom and his family. I met him at NARA in 2018. He was so kind and funny and I am honored to have met him. He left too soon, but will be remembered. My prayers for his son, and his family. You are with creator and hope you are at peace. I will miss you.
I was so excited to see you at Wellbriety just last Sunday just didn't know it was the last time I was going to be able to see you in this life. Fly high my friend this isn't goodbye we'll see you again. Love you Zack. NARA Res. alumni 2018.
Fly high my friend!! I was so happy to See you at Wellbriety just last Sunday, didn't know it would be the last time I seen you in this life. This is not goodbye, We'll see you again!!.. NARA Res alumni 2018. Love you Zack!
I remember seeing this Brother come over for our Friday night Bible studies and I seen God really speak to his Spirit . I know one thing is that Brother Zack believed in The Love of Jesus and that nothing can get in the way of that not even death can’t. Much Love to Zack and God Bless his Family
Boo was a wonderful person. I knew here for many years. We played tennis together, biked together, and I listened to her sing with the Philharmonic Orchestra.
My Mother's brother Pat,I will hear his laugh for always.When I think of Uncle Pat I think about Family, that is what mattered most to him and what he was best at his immediate family.The original bunch Harry ,Dot and the 5 kids Dee,Barbara,Sonny,Pat and Mike had always been a unique and interesting family, many of us saw each other very seldom if at all outside the immediate bunch but that being said, know who we are and stand close together with the love and respect for our family.I treasure the stories I hold from mom all the way back to Ginny,I treasure the moments shared and the memories I have.I remember they lived and did the best they could with the time allowed.It seems fishing and painting,family, and Shelley mostly come to mind when I think of Uncle Pat.The sorrow is always with us it never can be comforted we just come to accept the things that we cannot change.There are no words deep enough , strong enough, or correct enough to convey how huge a void this is and that I understand and feel this with you it surfaces many memories and people .I regret your loss, I regret your sorrow, pain , and emptiness.Live for him, through him, and with him ,he's not here but he's not gone.He's around.I wish for all of you a sense of calm.
Nicko was a good friend and Tennis player in the 1970’s He did good work in the world . God Bless You Nick
Great Tennis Player and class mate
I shared many, many hours of good conversation with Larry at the post office (I started the same year, 1978, and worked on the same crew with him for years), and at our many lunches at Tom's restaurant. He loved to laugh, loved his many postal friends as well as those he met in his neighborhood, loved his cats and his family. He was fiercely independent and a good, reliable friend. He will be missed... Peace and comfort to his whole family.
I went to George Washington High School with Fred. I never knew until many years later that he was dislexic and took many of his tests orally! We met again years later...in the 70's at a class reunion and dated briefly. A kinder man never lived. He was a "mench" in every sense of the word. God bless you Fred, you were one of a kind!
I had the pleasure of being her microbiology professor at JU. I remember her great attitude, her love of animals, and her very high levels of competence and intelligence. A wonderful person taken away too soon.
Brent, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking about you and all of your family. I remember meeting Leonard at your wedding with Linda. He made such an impression on me. I am also grateful he was willing to share his piece of paradise with me and Linda.
Ray was terrific. Such an interesting guy and a great match for Beth. He was a big part of all the folks who made Portland such a special place when I lived there. My last time hanging out with him was during a visit he and Beth made to Philly. We had some nice drinks and a nosh. He’ll be missed.
I just had one workshop with Mr Westerman, in Rockport, Texas, and enjoyed it so much. He was a delightful gentleman and wonderful teacher. I read his book I purchased cover to cover; when I normally just look at the pictures. I know it’s been four years now; but when I found out, it was important to me to leave my condolenses.
Dear Jerry: you sure lived a long life. I’m glad to have a great immigration law mentor. Glad we have the Reed College and Columbia University connection. I still have you black and white photography booklet. You will be missed so dearly. With deepest sympathy to Mutsumi-san and family. Much love, Miyuki
I don't know how to say goodbye to my longest, dearest friend. I will miss him in ways I haven't yet known but he will be with me the rest of my life because he was so much a part of the last 50 some years we spent. I could write on and on but doing so would be writing about me. I think I;ll keep both of us in my memories.
In the years that Ray and I were friends, he has proven to be an inspiration, a nimble and well informed debate partner, an adventures mate, and a lot of laughs. The first time we met, during a weekend at a small cabin in the Columbia Gorge, Ray regaled us with his boyhood adventures at a horse riding camp. The story was falling down hilarious when he told it the first time and has been a humorous memory many times since. That was only the first time, over subsequent years, Ray told riveting stories of furnace fires, disappearing bar patrons, firearm mishaps, overseas travels, small town recollections, and prisoner custody stories. During our own adventures, Ray proved to be a gifted conversationalist, able to connect with random strangers in ways that I admired and came to emulate. His social skills broadened my world and introduced me to people and places I never would have known about. An avid bicyclist, Ray took me to unfamiliar biking trails that have since become my favorite places to ride. He joined Cycle Oregon and rode around the state well into his late 70s. He was an amazing athlete and carried his abilities with modesty and grace. His accomplishments were something I dreamed about but never matched, and remain something I look upon with deep respect. When relaxing under less demanding circumstances, Ray proved to be a thoughtful and knowledgeable conversationalist. Topics ranged from ancient history, to past wars, current political challenges, and economic ramifications for policies relating to local and national settings. He was insightful and always offered perspectives that were thought provoking. In so many ways, life without Ray will be a lot less fun, less challenging, and too boring. He brought a fresh light to the world and a smile to everyone around him. It won’t be the same without Ray, but its a better world because of him.
Ray was a wonderful brother-in-law...smart, funny, adventurous. He and Beth brought out the best in each other. We will miss him.
You cant always get what u want but if u try sometimes..... Gone not forgotten .
American Gothic
Ray was a wonderful, smart and caring brother-in-law. He and Beth brought out the best in each other. Tom and I and our children will cherish our fond memories of him.
I am going to miss Ray so much. He was so comfortable to be with, and hefelt like family. I loved having him in my life.
We met Ray in 2015, when we bought a condo down the hall from Beth and Ray. At first we were part-timers at the condo, and we always looked forward to seeing Beth and Ray. Ray was so much fun to be with. He told great stories, and he had a wonderful sense of humor. We enjoyed going places with them, sharing dinners, and going to demonstrations together. When we moved in full-time last summer, we were so glad to have them as full-time close neighbors and friends. He was a terrific athlete and good sport; I remember seeing him in the hall with his bike and helmet, and I remember that he was among the first to "take the plunge" when Poet's Beach first opened for river swimming. Later, as he came up against physical limitations, I would run into him in the hall on his scooter with Shayna, as he found "workaround" methods of staying active and involved and positive. He met the challenges of cancer with incredible courage, grace, and positivity. I so miss his warmth, humor, conversation, and kindness already, and I'm grateful we had a chance to get to know him.
We met Ray and Beth (and of course Shayna) in the fall of 2015 when we moved to RiverPlace. Besides the friendly greetings of neighbors, we've helped each other with animal care, visited in each others condos where Ray, Beth, and Shayna welcomed our dog, Marlon Brando. Even though Marlon, without invitation, helped himself to Shayna's toys. We have shared meals, adult beverages, movies, a protest march or two, and a lot of great conversation. I was fortunate enough to be in their Arts and Culture Book Group where many great conversations took place. I think what I will miss the most about Ray are the wonderful conversations and the unfailingly warm and friendly greetings he offered. He added to our RiverPlace community and he will be missed.
I meet Ray for the first time when I moved into my condo at RiverPlace in 2018. He was the first person to introduce himself to me and also introduced his dog, Shayna. He was quite distinctive as he was wearing a hat that was very similar to the one worn by my boyfriend in college. Not long after, I met his wife Beth. Seeing Ray and Shayna in the hallway or walking along the esplanade was always a pleasure and as I introduced him to my friends he would always include introductions to Shayna. He was delight to know and I shall miss him.
Ray was my one true love. Words can’t describe how much I will miss him. He was my husband and my best friend. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
Katie was such a genuine and gentle soul. She will be missed. My sincere condolences to her loved ones.
Katie was such a genuine and gentle soul. She will be dearly missed. My sincere condolences to her loved ones.
Frank and Sherry... our sincere condolences to you both and your daughters. 🙏
Dearest Frank, I am so very sorry for you loss. Absolutely heartbreaking. With love, Robin
She had such a powerful smile. It would light up the room.
She was such a beautiful person and had the kindest of souls. She will be dearly missed.
A brilliant an beautiful person inside and out. You will be sorely missed.
Kent, every time I hear Pink Floyd, I think of you and how you loved their music. I see you in a special place having a margarita with Pat, some scotch with Loyd, and smoking with Gene. I miss you lots and your special sense of humor. Love you.
Thank you for all the class act Christmas Eve parties that I remember as a child. Good memories.
So sorry to hear about John. my prayers go out to the family. john was always good to me when i did his deliveries back in the 60's
Alice was an amazing woman neighbor years ago. I loved that her and her friend Pat used to sit out in the driveway and wave at everyone. (and with a totty in their hand) my heart goes out to the family
She was like a grandma to me. She and my late mom Donna were neighbors and sheis so loved and missed. The last time I seen her was when I came to her door after new year 2021 and she came to door and was wearing a mask and said she was sick and on oxygen and couldn't visit with me. My condolences to her family. I'm in shock. My sister just called me and said that she heard Alice passed weeks ago and never knew. I wish I would've seen her that day but due to covid, that wasn't feasible. She was so sweet and and may her rest in peace. God bless you Ms. Alice. Love and miss you.
I love you my friend rest in peace
I write Prose. You would think that I would have a colorful cornucopia written up. I do not. Everything sounds boring or generic. Far from what Robert is. I say is because his Spirit will always be. He showed me in countless ways how to get so frustrated that I want to throw something lol! He also had a great deal of patience with me ( he needed it) and never held a grudge. He was spontaneous, fun and a Rock n Roll star that came with other names ;Chaps, Chief Run Amock and the other slips my mind at this moment. You were taken from this Earth too soon, but will never be taken from my heart mind body and soul. We will meet as old souls do time and time again , but for I will listen to the winds.
Mickie was a light in my childhood. What a wonderful woman to grow up knowing, learning, loving and respecting. RIP and now you are with Nino, Joe and Marge.
Mickie was a light in my childhood
Jennifer and Roger, my condolences at the loss of your brother. My son is digitizing Bob's slides and came upon two of your wedding, Jennifer, He also explored something and found Tom's obit. It brought back some good memories.
Gloria was a client of mine at Hairstles Unlimited. We had some great talks. Rest in Peace friend.
Gloria was a client of mine for many years at Hairstyles Unlimited. She was so cool, we had lots of great talks while I styled her hair. Rest in Pease Gloria. You were special!
It’s so hard to believe you are gone we had lots of good times and I will cherish those memories for the rest of my days. You left this world way to soon. You were a great musician,mechanic,friend and lover. Charlie misses you but I made sure he is with someone who loved you like he did (and as promised no human food) you would have been proud to see all of your children together. I will never forget you and will love you forever RIH MY FRIEND
I had the good fortune to be a neighbor of Steve and Linda for many years, and can still see Steve's smile and hear the joy in his laugh. Like a diamond with many facets, Steve's love of so much in life was evident by how he embraced so many aspects of it such as travel, cooking, gardening, the arts, music and on and on. But the aspect I witnessed the most was his great love of music, including the Blues. Time after time I would see Steve and Linda at great Blues concerts at big and small venues, often to see groups that only those "in the know" would recognize. Steve's knowledge and love of music was tremendous, and the last time I sat next to him was on a neighbor's lawn to hear a "Covid safe" concert. As always he was smiling and laughing, which is how I will always remember him. I salute your spirit Steve. You will be missed by many.
Many a summers were spent with my dear Bam Bam out in the forest camping away. Camp fires, sticky fingers, and cherished memories in my heart. When Grandparents Day came around at school-- there was only one person I wanted to attend with me; my dear Bam Bam. It wasn't far for her, just across the playground. And, I always felt comforted knowing she was so close.
Alice and I were neighbors for 43 years. We shared many good visits during that time. I have spent hours at her kitchen table and in her garage sitting room, swapping stories and giving and getting neighborhood updates. Years ago she used to come and pick my Concord grapes, to make her famous grape jelly. When getting on a ladder was no longer a good idea, I would pick the grapes and take them to her and she continued to make jelly. The last few years, I have taken her the jelly I made. She was a huge fan of grape jelly and finally convinced me that it really is good. In her ceramic days, she made me a Christmas Wreath photo holder and put a photo of my then, 2 year old in it. It comes out every year and hangs on my tree. It is my most cherished tree ornament. I could tell stories for days and I am left with many great memories of an incredible woman. Alice will be missed by many and I am one of them.
As we say good-bye to Alice, I know she is looking down on loved ones smiling and thankful for her many good days. She loved life and her many friends. We will miss her beautiful smile, words of wisdom and caring for her devoted family.
Alice was such a sweet lady! She always made you feel loved and special whether in person , on a phone call or through one of her personal hand written notes. We will miss her sweetness, smile, and positive energy! She will always be with us !! She made a difference for the good to everyone she came in contact with. We loved her.
sorry to hear that Grace is no longer with us but rejoicing that she is now in Heaven. She was there Jan. 1 to welcome my husband, Paul. We met Grace in church in 1961 and she and Bob opened their home and hearts to us. I have many fond memories of my time with Grace. She gave me her Jan Hagel cookie recipe and have made thousands of them over the last 60 years. I pray that all of Grace's family may experience the Lord's comfort and blessings during this time of sadness. Best wishes, Gerda McKeehan Phil. 1:21
Growing up in HACO it was always a treat to ride in the rumble seat of Mrs. Holmes' car. Walking Browny and having grown up discussions as Mrs. Holmes always treated me like someone special. She was a wonderful person that I missed when we moved away.
She was very special to us. She loved German Town Rd. We'd be going up over it; at the speed limit, and Alice would say, "Punch it!" So I would, & she would start laughing. We have many great memories
Alice was such a sweet lady, always so happy and fun to be around.She will be missed.
My husband, Tom, and I had the pleasure of meeting Dan a few years ago, and the extra pleasure of meeting his charming mother, Alice. Dan was a devoted son and it was obvious he and his mother had a wonderful relationship. May Alice rest in peace and may Dan have the peace of great memories.
We are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. What a great tribute you’ve shared of such a great woman. We are so thankful to have visited with her over a year ago. Today Mary Ellen is at our home for a usual Sunday visit. Jim is printing a copy of your Mom’s obit for Maryellen. Blessings to you and your families take care -
She lived a full and beautiful life. It was a pleasure to meet her.
She was a Beautiful person in so many wonderful ways. She lived a life of so many stories. God Bless her and her family.
It was just over seven years ago that I was lucky enough to have met Stephen. I can only imagine that during his years as a teacher he perfected his curiosity. I never minded all his questions, it just reminded me that I too often did not have the answers that I should have known ! Stephen never stopped learning. He and Linda were such a beautiful couple to be around. His reliability and dedication to everything he did in life was admirable. I miss greatly his smile, his congeniality, his sincerity. Although his absence has created a void in life for all of us that knew him he has departed leaving us with only positive memories to be cherished forever.
His curiosity
Met Stephen and Linda when we first moved to Portland in 1988 and became fast friends ever since. Enjoyed many things with them, and through them with many others - kayaking, hiking, music, and especially eating. What joy. I cannot remember ever seeing him without a smile on his face except when he was absorbed in a project (woodworking, cooking) when he would just hum away a monotone note for minutes on end clearly enjoying himself and his work. Always made me smile. Oh how I will miss him.
Steve has been my best friend for the last 32 years. He had all the qualities that make for a good friend: loyalty, generosity, humor, hospitality. He was always willing to help with a project. He was a fierce Cribbage opponent and eager travel companion. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
Utterly heartbroken at the loss of my uncle. I still remember when I visited as a little kid, and Uncle Steve would sneak me out to get junk food that my parents would not let me have. In the long run, this exposure to "the good stuff" definitely contributed to my ongoing passion for amazing food. You will be missed like crazy, and remembered every time I search out a tasty dining establishment.
I first me Ben as a third-year student at OHIO University. He had transferred from Everett Community College where he learned basic and intermediate photography from Lloyd Weller. He was a curious, giving and eager young talent ready to learn more about visual journalism. When he returned to OHIO years later for his advanced degree, he was a working professional ready to take his skills to the next level. He was a talented photographer, a solid picture editor and most importantly a friend. When his work at the Oregonian can to an end, he found a way to help others, sometimes with a camera but often with a smile and a story about living with diabetes. Ben was part of a significant era in photojournalism in Biddeford Maine. I have a box of miniature Biddeford picture pages that he and the Biddeford photographic team produced in the paper’s “golden era.” He made them for me to use as a teaching tool at OHIO in the School of Visual Communication. They are a treasured archive of their work. My condolences to Ming and Zanzan. Ben Brink you were a friend to so many people and an eager visual storyteller. Rest in Peace my friend.
I miss you my dear friend
I miss you my dear friend.
Ben was a stand-up guy and a good friend ever since we worked together (and shared an apartment) in Biddeford, Maine. We bonded immediately over our mutual struggles with Type I diabetes. He introduced me to my future wife, Anne. He really was curious about anything and everything. As recently as last week he was exploring the idea of what is Truth in a photograph. He's probably cross-examining Eugene Smith right now on what lenses he used to shoot Minamata, one of his favorite photo essays. My condolences to Ming and Zanzan on his loss.
Dear Cousin, I’m so sorry I missed you in the most recent years.
I've known Grace since I was really little. Bob and my grandpa were first cousins so I would see them at family reunions and other family functions. I last saw Grace at my bridal shower in 2011 but she will always be family and I will miss her beautiful smile.
Grace was such a special lady in my life. Our son, Michael, was a friend of her son, John. I remember so many talks with Grace, listening to her wisdom and admiring her beautiful spirit. Grace left a mark on so many lives. I wish I could think of the woman’s name who rode her bike all around and wore a jacket that read, ‘Friend of all animal’s’ on the back of it. Grace loved her and took care of many of her needs. (Even making sure she had an occasional shower.) I don’t remember Grace without a smile on her beautiful face. I loved her. She loved me. I can see her now as she finally looks upon the face of her Savior who made her who she was. Goodbye for now sweet Grace. ♥️
Mrs. Boersma was a wonderful woman of God. She was a friend to my mom. We lived in the same Neighborhood as the family. She will be greatly missed I am sure by her family.
I miss you Dad, I miss seeing your smile everyday.
Aunt Grace, which I called her my whole life, always made me feel important no matter what I did. Her love for The Lord was very strong and it showed in how she carried herself. The last time I saw her, she and Uncle Bob honored me and my wife Carla by making a point of stopping and seeing our new house in Seattle. Heaven gained an Amazing Angel ❤️! Rest In Peace Aunt Grace ❤️ We Love You ❤️❤️
We miss you so much, Dad.
I am so sorry for the loss of Dear Glo. She and my mom were friends and moved through from independent living to assisted living at Mary's Woods around the same time. She was a delight to have meals with and attend mass with. May she rest in peace.
John Chin was a fixture in the Goffstown community for many, many years. Always a smile and a kind word for his friends & customers. He looked after people, and was proud of his business and those who worked for him. He appreciated hard work, and understood the values of dedication, commitment, family & community. My family had many enjoyable nights out at the Wa-Toy over the years. We are all better off for having known John. Rest in peace, my friend.
Kent Alvin was an old soul with mirth, compassion and a wonderfully wry sense of humor. He has left all who were privileged to know him with many happy memories, and more than a chuckle or two. Kent will be missed and fondly remembered.
Hard to believe that Connie is gone - I spent 5 years with her at Westridge Elementary School - she was my co worker in the front office and I enjoyed her company. I remember Larry always coming into bring her coffee. They were total love birds
John Chin was a very kind and nice man, and it was a pleasure to be his attorney for many years, in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he was a fixture. He was always interesting and had many legal issues resulting from running a successful restaurant. He was very good to me as a young attorney, as I took his work over from Attorney Joseph Devan, who had helped him set up the business. I think of him often when I ride by the Wa Toy site. My condolences to his family, but appreciate his long and eventful life. Brad Cook
I was born in 1980 in Goffstown, NH. I grew up going to Wa Toy regularly with my family. While John was always there to greet every customer who walked in, what always astounded me, was that he knew everyone by name. He knew the regulars and he knew their orders. At the end of 1998, I was getting ready to head off to college, moving out of state for the coming years, and so I wanted my send-off meal to be at my favorite restaurant. When John, and one of his long time staff members, Debbie, found out that I was moving away for a bit they came out and sat with my family and I after we finished our meals. As we were getting ready to leave, John came out with a large to-go box. In it, was about 20 packets of their tea (which I loved), fortune cookies, a gift certificate for when I returned, and an incredibly sweet note, wishing me good luck in life, which was signed by the staff. I still live nearby and I still visit Wa Toy regularly and I think of John often. May he rest well, for he lived a good life, and changed many.
This is so wonderfully written and so well describes the beautiful, caring, artistic, and loving person Glo has always been! Her eye for the beauty in nature that she captured and shared in her photographs was a lovely gift to all of us! I have loved her family photo collages, majestic eagles far in the distance, and the tiny plants along a favorite path! Glo has graced all of our lives and made us better for her sweet presence in our lives! I love that wonderful story about how she and her beloved Jimmy met in high school! ❤💞 Glo will be missed dearly, but she will live on within our hearts for eternity! You are all in my prayers!
John was a family friend, my Dad chose friends carefully. Looking back it was a friendship built on the shared values of hard work, family and respect for each other as successful small business owners co-existing in a very small place... everyone knows your name and what you are made of. John was unfailingly kind and welcoming in every interaction I had with him. Generosity is another thing that made him unforgettable to myself and my family. I will always remember John.
I knew of John from my brother Paul Locke who worked at Wa Toy back in the 70’s. This was Paul’s first job while he was still in high school. Prayers to John’s family. May he Rip.
I worked at WATOY as a dishwasher in late 1960s. John was a great boss and taught me so much about his culture. I got fired once for skipping work one night to watch a Red Sox world series game. He hired me back the next day. My heart felt condolences to his loving family.
Beautiful tribute.
My condolences to John's family and friends! Great person, had a lot of fun at the WaToy, my favorite was when he'd tell someone " she go home with nobody..ever" R.I.P. my friend ❤️
My condolences to John's family 💕 he was a great guy!! He'd tell guy's for me, "she go home with nobody...ever" absolutely loved him for that! Great memories at the Wa Toy❤️
I’m sadden by this news . I will forever have many memories of John & Family at Watoy from hanging out in the kitchen, riding my big wheel in the parking lot to having all our family events there . It’s a place where I grew up as a kid when my father was employed as a cook . Chinese New Years was always the Best times. I’m grateful that I was able to have my kids meet John . He was a wonderful man to everyone ,He will be missed . Our deepest condolences go out to his children & family . John rest easy and say hello to my father Wu for me and I’m sure you two have plenty to catch up on.
John was a really good man and was always so kind and supportive to all of us at the Goffstown Police Department. Hohn always had a kind word for us and always showed his appreciation for us keeping an eye on his restaurant and responding to help when he’d have an occasional rowdy patron. God Speed John !!!!
Mrs. Gloria Bacharach was my next door neighbor when I was growing up. She gave me my first job as a baby sitter for her children. I was fairly young but since my mother was next door and watched for my "signal" if I needed help, I became adept at the responsibility. When I gave up babysitting for other pursuits, Mrs. Bacharach still kept a soft spot in her heart for me. Fast forward now - I'm 21 years old and engaged to marry. A bridal shower was hosted by Gloria in her home for the neighborhood women. I always felt Gloria had a soft spot in her heart for me and my younger sister, Suzanne. Lucky us to be neighbors with the Bacharach Family.
No matter what the family occasion, if John was present I could always look forward to an engaging conversation that made me feel valued as part of the family.
Beauty lies in the life that one has lived but a greater beauty is the hope we have in God’s promises. So with hearts filled with sadness may we remember Gloria as that smiling light, that glimmer of encouragement, that shining example of caring that touched the lives of so many and was much appreciated by all. She will long be remembered, not only by family and friends but also by God who never forgets one's loving acts of kindness. John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:11, 29
The dearest, most genuine friend a person could have.
My condolences to the family.
The first time that I met Honey was at Maryam Shadbeh-Evans and Dr. John Evans' wedding day in Portland. I was impressed with Honey's ability to organize a catered food event while driving from Eugene to Portland and her attention to detail as she assisted the caterer and other family members set up the most beautiful dinner presentation. Honey's voice in conversation was calm and quiet. By her voice and charming manner and eye contact it was a delight to hear her stories of her childhood and to share mine. No matter how busy or hectic all around, she made me feel as though time could and should slow down with two people sharing their stories. I will miss her presence among us at our large family gatherings. I will miss her sense of curiosity about my work for migrant workers and her advice on balancing work and life. Thanks for sharing her story more fully here and the paper. We were all fortunate to have her as part of our family.
I am sorry you had to lose someone so important and special in your life. Mothers hold a special place in our hearts. I’ll be praying for you and the rest of your family.
Kent's light will be missed. Always a quick laugh, an smart retort and a wicked sense of humor, he added light to every event. Our evenings spent over dinner at Starky's are forever stored in my mind as a highlight of this life. Rest in Peace, Kent.
As of today mom I am thinking of you every second. I thinking of all good memories we have together mom. I hope you see papa already. Rest In Peace Mother. Love you.
I love you Dad. I’m glad I got to be the one to be by your side until the very end. This isn’t Goodbye just I’ll see you later.
My Best friend in High School.... RIP Kirk...
to my only Brother, who only gave me good memories (Frog)
I remember Mrs. Goodman from the many times I went to their home to play with her sons. She and Mr. Goodman were nothing but warm, kind people who always made me feel at home.
I'll miss you, kirk...
Your dad has always been proud of you.. I'm sorry for your loss...
I love you dad!
My condolences to Alicia and all of the family!
I'm so sorry to here about Noah, My Prayers go out to you and Tracy. RIH Nephew
Kristen, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My Dad I describes as the love of my life, He never had rest until he satisfied me and my Sisters Agartha, Agnes and Mercy. He was a very gentle and hardworking man loved by his family, friends and everybody that came across him. We always pray for him that God keeps him safe. We will always love you Daddy.
Mother loved Alice and Dan. Mom is 96, now.
Mother loved Alice and Dan.
I am Harriet Barrett’s daughter and mother is 96. She couldn’t recall a certain time with Alice. She said she had loved Dan and Alice. We had some contact with Alice after grandma Mary died. We hadn’t heard from her for quite a few years.
Thinking of all of you! Wish I could have been with you. Remember the good times! All he did for us and let the other times go. He did the best he could for all of us. Love you all so much!
Mom you are truely missed !! Thank you for being my mom and best friend!! XO Jon
Miss you mom
My heartfelt condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that God promises to end all suffering. Before long, God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things (will) have passed away.”(Rev. 21:3,4). May this promise from God give you comfort now and a real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.
We had an amazing time taking care of Magdalena in the last few years of her life. We will miss her smile and her loving personality!
I knew Floyd better then you but I admitted your drive and you being so out going. I always wanted to go to the yearly giant garage sale but we had moved to Salem and then on to Gig Harbor, WA where Floyd visited. My sympathy to the family. You are greatly missed. Ted Walker.
As the first Program Manager of the Gerry B and Marilyn C Cameron Center for Finance Center, I benefited directly from Gerry and Marilyn's generosity and support of the Lundquist College. I am honored to have held that position and greatly appreciate the opportunity. The Camerons personify the ideal alumni - giving back so that others can come forward. Thank you Gerry.
Gerry Cameron was one of the first people I met when I joined the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon. His passion for his alma mater combined with his and Marilyn’s commitment to making the world a better place was truly inspiring. He will be sorely missed by those that knew him well and forever remembered for his commitment to giving back to support our students - with scholarships that enabled them to complete their studies, by his support of our outstanding faculty, and the programs that contributed to an excellent educational experience. He will continue to inspire not only me but future generations by the role model he has left for us to follow.
missing you every day grandmama. You were my best friend. love you always and forever.
You were the best dad that God blessed me with. You and I were thick as thieves I miss you every day. I'm so glad my girls had the bond they had with you. Love you forever dad.
I miss you more than words can comprehend! You were genetically my grandmother but you took the responsibility & raised me as one of your own children, no words can express how grateful I am for you. I'm at peace knowing that you're with God & no longer struggling but my soul will never rest until I'm joined again with you in heaven. I love you Grandma, love your darling B. <3
Grandma, I miss you dearly. I definitely hit the jackpot on Grandmas because I couldn’t image my childhood without you. Every birthday, every holiday, you and Papa made sure to be there. You raised The most incredible children who have made a huge impact in many peoples lives, Including mine. I will forever cherish our memories together. And I promise I will continue to make gingerbread cookies each year to keep your memories alive. WE LOVE YOU. And I will see you again some day. ❤️ -Nyssa
While I may not have known you a great deal, I still knew enough about you to know that you were taken away much to early in your young life. And, what a beautiful smile you always shared. My heart goes out to the family for your loss. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
Comfort and peace to all of Maribeth's family. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57 Comfort and peace to all of Maribeth's family.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Corrigan family! Maribeth was a true blessing! She touched our lives (through preschool) as well as so many others. So sad to hear to hear this news. She will always and forever be in our hearts. Praying for you all to be able to find peace, and healing through this difficult time.
Maribeth was the preschool teacher for both of my kids, Taylor and Chloe. She was so encouraging and always made sure they felt cared for and loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better preschool teacher for my children. She was always behind the camera and I loved getting pictures from her showing what my kids were up to. I seemed to always run in to her somewhere and we would catch up and swap kid updates. She had such a heart for people. My prayers are with your family.
Wow...where do I start. I feel like we were robbed of a good friendship but I know God got you in a better place. For the three yrs I've known you I always thought that you were the kindest person around. The talks about how awesome your kids are and your passion for God and Jesus Christ. You were by far the most funniest person I met since I moved to Oregon 34 years ago. I'm going to miss you so much. Your passing is on the same day as my son who would be 13. Say hi to Ryan for me. God bless you Maribeth.
My husband Frank and I will never forget she was kind to come to us while we were in the church service. We were going to be marry in few months i the back then..She was kind to introduce herself to us and wanted to take our pictures on our wedding day in church free of charge""..She is going to be miss """.We are sorry we have lost a wonderful person""Sister in christ""
Dearest Corrigan family, we are so sorry to hear about our absolutely wonderful Maribeth. We are devastated along with you at the loss of such an amazing, photo taking, Jesus loving woman. Our families life will be forever touched by the woman we knew as our beloved preschool teacher at precious lambs! She was high energy, creative and so much fun🥰! The parties, celebrations, art projects, out door activities, her love, care, creativity, generosity and no nonsense😘! We thank you for opening your home to us for the fabulous parties she would throw... the pool, the multi water slide fun house, cotton candy just to name a few of the fun things she thought of and shared! Know she is missed, that you are loved, being prayed for and that we are sending you all a huge hug. Love to you all, the Nicholson Family
My sister Maribeth... If you knew us growing up you know that we were polar opposites and sometimes like oil and water. She was the older sister that hated when I ransacked her closet and take her clothes especially that yellow and black cardigan sweater that she loved. I was also that little sister that would use all her hair spray ( Aqua Net) and lip gloss then fill it up with water so she wouldn’t notice.... I’m sure she knew but still let me do it because I was her little sister. My sister was sometimes a badass doing crazy stuff as a teenage and little did she know I wanted to be a badass just like her too. Maribeth loved taking pictures but didn’t really like being in them...She was such a romantic and loved reading and watching romantic comedies. She had the best smile with those dimples; Not to mention she had this contagious laugh. She laughed when she was happy, sad, and nervous. I’m sure that laughter got her through some pretty tough times. She lived for her 5 children and I know she is looking down on them as their Mommy angel. My best memory of us was when she visited San Diego and we went downtown to do a little sister bonding. At the ended of the night we were dancing on the stage with my other sister Aleen. She was always so poised so it was AWESOME seeing her have so much fun dancing and singing to some Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and AC/DC. As sisters we would fight, argue, shout, cry, laugh, and LOVE but that’s what we do... We are and will always be sisters. Rest In Peace Ate...
We love you all so much. We are praying for God to comfort you all through this horrible time. Maribeth will be greatly missed, but we know she is in Jesus’ loving arms. Know that our hearts are hugging you all sooooo tight and we mourn with you. 😪🙏
My prayers to Jesus Christ our savior go out for the Corrigan family. May God hold them in his hands of love.
My sister Maribeth spent her life on earth loving and providing for her children. She was taken from us too soon but she will continue watching over them from Heaven. I was blessed to have been able to share in her life and witness her selfless generosity. She will be missed and will never be forgotten. May her soul rest in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Corrigan family. Maribeth was a wonderful servant of God. We will always remember her warm, loving smile. She is now in our Savior’s loving arms. She will be missed by all who knew her.
In loving memory of Maribeth Tiu Corrigan, Our deepest sympathies from all of the Corrigan family in the UK. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Maribeths' family and her friends in USA
Beloved wife and mother to our 4 beautiful children Catriona, Marylynn, Samantha and Lilibeth. Life may pass away, but love will last forever. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Dearest Dawn, I wish I had met your beloved Kyle and had the pleasure of hearing his laugh. It seems he had so much of you in him: a twinkle in his eye, able to light up a room, and never met a stranger. I can appreciate the beautiful person he was because of the many absolutely wonderful accolades throughout this writing. Such a warm and loving story, such a genuinely full life. While I am glad that family, friends, and Kunna were there to greet him, my heart is heavy. I pray for your comfort and healing, my Dearest Dawn. You are always in my heart. I love you very much.
My heart is breaking for you all. sending love and prayers🙏💔
We didn’t know each other but I know that you were much loved by your parents. Lighting a candle for you from across the ocean.
Early on in 2013 is when I met this beautiful soul, we both started working at Wells Fargo together around the same time, shortly after we were banker coaches together on the same team. Kyle had a very special way of connecting with ANYONE and his laugh is something I am going to miss dearly. Rest In Peace my friend and you will always be remembered!
...my first baby LOVE who became a Loving man. Craddling his spirit close to my heart ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss Richard, Dawn and Lauren. Kunna was waiting for him for sure. Hugs.
Roger was a friend who is missed. Though not in contact for quite some time, he was considered the best of friends. Much time was spent with him studying at PSU and UofO Dental school. I recall “all-nighters” for organic chem. hearing the neighbors lawn mower the next morning as we finished our studies and were departing to take that final exam. Those habits carried over to Dental School. As dentists doing simple procedures for each other, we’d start at 3:00PM and still be at it at 9:00PM talking and laughing much. His sense of humor and his puns were always enlightening. Roger in essence, was a deep, kind, and thoughtful person often pondering our existence and it’s meaning. He is missed for more than the time since passing, and that will continue. Roger, we hope to see you “on the other side” with or without the RX-7. Heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved him. Joyce & Eric
I had the pleasure of caring for him on occasion at Regency, he was such a sweet man! He would call me "Bentley" even though he knew my real name was Wendy. Twords the end I'd give him a kiss on the forehead before leaving his room, he would smile and kiss my cheek. We would have icecream "dates" as well. He loved his coke, and his icecream. He is missed GREATLY! 😭
Our prayers are with you .thank you for raising a charming son.
So sorry to hear of Nate's passing, Lori, you were so good for him, a wonderful wife and companion. I know you have many memories that will help bring you comfort and help in healing your loss. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy.
Dear Family, my family is very saddened to hear about Kyle's passing. I remember, my son, Harper and Kyle on a few play dates at our homes and at school in the Japanese Immersion Program. It is unimaginable to lose someone this young. I found a few photos of Kyle and Harper here at our house; and I am sending them to you. Love to all of you.
I was so deeply saddened to hear about Kyle. He was a student in my third grade class in the Richmond JMP. I remember a sweet and kind boy with a supportive and involved family. His class was memorable for me because it was the year of 9/11. There was a lot of emotion to start the year and that seemed to spark extra kindness among classmates. My heartfelt condolences go out to Kyle’s family, Cole, Marsha, and Amanda.
Mary Lou was my 4th grade teacher at Lincoln Park, during the days her brother, Ron, was Principal. She and my Mom (room Mother) became best friends that summer and for the next 50+ years! Mary Lou went camping with our family (George and Edie Bucholz) year after year and always had her “Misty” with her. Later on, after my parents passed, I would travel to Portland from AK or TX and seldom missed an opportunity to meet her for lunch. we talked on the phone too. She was a dear member of our family. I’m so sorry I didn’t know of her passing until much later. My condolences to all her nieces and nephews. She is greatly missed! ♥️♥️🙏♥️♥️
Kyle, I knew you from the day you were adopted by my close friend, Marsha. Always a free spirit and a kind heart. Rest in peace.
Kyle, Thank you became my family. The first time I visit the US you and your family treated Chio and me very well, that's why I decided to visit Portland several times. One day we went to a pool and played there, I saw your wonderful smile. You treated us like real old sisters, I was glad to be that. The days we stayed together is my treasure, I can't say well but it's true. I hope the last time you didn't sufferer anything and stay happy place forever. Thank you again Kyle I'll never forget your smile and the fact I had little brother in Portland. Love you.
To my loving mother, I miss you so much. Dad grieves losing you. He loved you. You gave him purpose in life, especially in these elder years. You have done much more than we could write in the obituary. I have so many loving memories of you. I love you forever.
Patrick, Henry and Frances remember Kyle as a sweet young man. We are all sad to hear the news. Prayers and kind thoughts to the family.
Kyle was one of the first people I met after I lost everything and was on the street. His kindness, love, and warmth helped me when I thought I no longer mattered. Rest well, you beautiful you. Thank you for sharing your energy with me. Thank you for teaching me. Your demons never overcame your genuine spirit.
I am very sorry to hear of Elsie's passing. We send each other many letters over the years concerning the family genealogy (Brown side). She was a great inspiration to me in my research. She will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Lance and I did a poor job of keeping in touch over the years. Our years that coincided in Iowa City in the early to mid 90s are the years that I became friends with Lance. Lance was truely a good man and will be sorely missed.
Over the last year and a half I have gotten to reminisce with Don our Italian families’ connections. I have enjoyed surprising him with photos from the past, and looked forward to our few minutes of connection at Sunday mass. My prayers & sympathy go out to Joanne and the family.
After I moved from Chicago to Portland in 1969, I needed to find a dentist who was available on Saturdays. Luckily I found Dr. Amiton, whose office was on SW Yamhill, I believe. I remember him as being very cheerful and efficient. Thank you, Roger! But as they say, life goes on.
In 1969, i was his dental assistant 1 eve per week and on Saturdays. He was so very kind to me when I made mistakes. Dr. Amiton encouraged me to further my education and, on his own, sent a recommendation letter for a summer semester at University of Iowa Dental school (For Me!) It included a large stipend. two summers! Became an A student due to his encouragement. Thank you Roger.
Marshall and I started High School together. We each had an older brother separated in age by years of war. They both past this last week. Roger was in college at U of W. He had "Playboy" Magazines and liked Dave Brubeck. I mean how cool was that! Thanks, I will remember.
Very sad to hear of Lt. Herb’s passing. He flew with my father in Korea in 1951. He contacted me a gave me pictures and documents about my father that I am very grateful to have. My father was KIA on Oct. 3, 1951. Lt. Leonard A Gundert, VF 874, on board the USS Bon Homme Richard. God bless you Herb.
Good memories from high school. Condolences to those he left behind.Had there been a funeral, I would be there with his family.
Remembering Roger as a sweet man with a funny sense of humor and a wonderful dentist. He was my family for over twenty years and I loved him.
I am so sorry to hear this news about your mom. May her memory be a blessing.
Sorry about your loss of mother & grandmother
The Lakefish family offers its deepest condolences.
Fred Weiss was my mentor when I started working for Aries Prepared Meat Company. I couldn't have asked for a kinder: more patient, knowledgeable person to teach me what I needed to know. Fred knew more about meat than anyone, and he loved sharing his knowledge with me, and with anyone else who was smart enough to listen to him. He had some excellent "sayings" that he also liked to share and one that comes to mind is,"You only have one chance to make a good first inpression." He spoke so loveingly about his daughter Elle. He loved his wife Rose and loved to tell me how they met, and how he asked her to marry him. Fred was a humble man, and a good human being. He was one of a kind!
My condolences on the loss of your dear Sue. We met in 1990 in Santa Fe when we served on the board of the New Mexico Repertory Theater. She had a personality, energy and talent that I was delighted by in the years I knew her. My sympathy, Anna Carlgren
My deepest condolences to Gertie, Karen, Steve, and the rest of the family! May you find peace in the midst of the heartache, knowing that there's a big celebration going on in heaven!
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Fred face to face, we developed a friendly business relationship through phone conversations over a several year period prior to his retirement. He was always positive, kind and caring. The world has lost a true gentleman. Rest in Peace, Sir.
Our hearts are sad for you, Gertie. Art was a kind man and he will be missed!!
Beryl: Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and remembering your glamorous Sue and her lovely singing that lit up the room. Hope you are comforted now by so many wonderful memories of Sue. Love, Fred and Arlyn Nathan
Our love and prayers are with you at this time.
I miss you Grandma and Love you very much! You always took care and watch over us and I eternally Grafeful for the time I got with you. You will never be forgotten and I hope I will continue to make you proud!
Our deepest condolences to the family.

She and Joe were godparents to Bruce and my kids after saving my daughter's life in a fire. Endless nights and days of spending all of our free time together. She was my best freind, the sister I never had. I will never forget her and our bond we carried over 39 years. I love you Rhonda and the angels don't know what's in store fore them. You will be the light in the heavens.
I took care of Fred in my Adult Care Home for almost three years (3 years would have been in June if he was not in a hurry). Fred was very kind,very respectful and very classy. He liked beautiful things.He was very thankful for everything I did for him and thanked me many times. He appreciated the care and the time we spent with him.Fred also told me many times “tell your husband he has a beautiful wife “ ,to which I always answered :”you tell him “. He enjoyed when I read him the story of David and Goliath,David and Bathsheba,the story of creation. I was honored to care for Fred and I will miss him. He will be irreplaceable .
2nd cousin Fred was always #1 to Me. I cherish the times we shared whether it be for a meal, at a temple service or a concert. He was very kind and expressive. I will always appreciate the enthusiasm at which he greeted us when we would surprise him with a visit. He was accepting and kind to my dad, his cousin Herb when others were not. It was a gift to see the two of them together. Fred will be missed, our time together will not be forgotten. He was a respected and loved man and the care and attention Elle and Sherri gave to him will not be forgotten. I know you will Rest In Peace Freddie Weiss, you were a good man.
I was one of Fred's care givers for over four years and he was like an uncle to me. He loved it when I took him shopping at Fred Meyer and Subway for a tuna sandwich. I'm going to miss the way he always greeted me with a big smile and his positive outlook on life. I feel fortunate to have known Fred and his family over the years. I'm going to miss my visits with him very much. Rest in peace Fred.
Fred was the kindest and gentlest soul I ever knew. He would always greet me with a big smile and an " I'm so glad your here"! Always positive, humble and ready to show his great sense of humour and welcoming spirit. He was one of the good guys and I will miss him terribly
I was Fred's caregiver for 2 years. He was the most kind and loving souls I knew.
I have never met a more kind, loving, welcoming soul. Always positive and he had a wonderful sense of humour. He was one of the good guys and I'll miss him. Love you Fred
I was Freds caregiver for 2 years and Fred made each workday pleasant. He was always kind, humorous, generous with compliments and he always welcomed me with a big smile and an " I'm so glad your here". He had a beautiful soul and I will miss him. Love you Fred
Sally will never be forgotten; she lit up the room. It was always a pleasure seeing her in Toronto. Sending love and condolences to the entire family.
Fred Weiss was a wonderful man. He loved his daughter more than anyone else. His humor and laugh you could count on everytime you saw him. He was devoted, caring, genuine and humble. He was of old school and treated everyone with respect. He will be terribly missed and never to be replaced. Shalom Fred. I love you.
It was so very nice to meet your Fred the thing I will remember the most about you is your kind face I could see it thru your eyes. And of course our first meeting when I landed in your lap I think I was avoiding trippping on the cat. I know you’re a very lucky man to have a daughter that cared so deeply for you that was so apparent in everything she did you always came first and that’s a wonderful trait she must’ve learned her caring from you. Sorry I never got to meet your lovely Rose that you spoke so highly about. I wish you safe passage on your next journey until we meet again may you be surrounded in the warmth of Gods love.
We have such fond memories of Sally from her visits to Toronto. Our thoughts and love are extending to the whole family. May her memory be a blessing Sharon and Peter Danson.
Dear Margie, Well, another year is over and this time we're graduating seniors. I'm going to miss good old Roosevelt High something awful, aren't you? Especially certain people. I sure hope you don't stay in California this summer forever. I'm counting on going to college with you. I hope we can be as good friends at the University as we have been in high school. We have had a lot of fun, haven't we? Staying overnite at each others houses, those college mixers, the junior class (male that is), bicycle riding--just lots and lots of things. I'll never forget. You've sure been a swell friend to have, and I really appreciate your advice and counsel (spelling?) I'm a person that needs understanding, I think, and you've given me that. And I've had the feeling that if all else should fail, I'd still have Margie. Honestly, your name is on every single page of my diary, and that's just an example of how much you mean to me. I hope we can always be friends like we have been. I hope we are for all four years of college. And even if one of us should get married before that I hope we'll remember each other. And even when we're both married and maybe move away, I hope we will always keep in touch with each other. In closing--to the most wonderful pal a gal ever had. Love, Janet A note found in the Roosevelt High School Yearbook of '47-48 "Strenuous Life"
Prayers for the whole family. Lots of Love.
We'll miss you Auntie but know you're pain is gone and at peace with our Lord Jesus.
The last few years of Mom's life were spent with Mark and son Vincent. Vincent and Mark were excellent care-givers. Vincent learned the songs that Mom liked and would play them for her even as she became less and less responsive over the years. He would still play them for her and sometimes hold her hand. He played Chubby Checker's Twist & Shout and then played Tumbling Tumbleweeds by The Son's of The Pioneers and held her hand as he had every night for years. It was time for bed. It was time to gather her up for bed, and he realised that she had passed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQc5gDXQGIs
Paul always had a smile for everyone. He will be missed.
We were good friends for more than 40 years. God bless you, Nick.
I knew Nick in both college and law school where we were classmates. His smile, energy and commitment to public service still shine in my mind. May his memory be a blessing.
Nick's passing brings inconsolable grief for the loss of a treasured friend and never-to-be replaced Portland leader.
Thank you for all that you have done for Portland. Bless you and your family and may you rest in love.
Words cannot express the sadness, the grief, the loss...
Hello and condolences on the passing of your mother. I am Vivian Myers youngest daughter. JoAnn is my oldest sister and Carol and Donna have already passed. In our younger days we were a really close family and I also remember outdoor picnics in the yard of Uncle Dick and Aunt Harriet's house. Life changes and family's go there separate ways, but the love and memories always remain. Know that my family shares your loss and wishes you all a good and loving life.
My Christmas card came back last year and I was wondering what had happened to my Aunt. I called down where I last visited her and they wouldn't give me any information. Our cousin Richard Myers and I have been trying to get ahold of one of her children but to no avail. My Mother was Wilma and Richard's dad was Clarence. Our Aunt Betty and Wilma and Clarence have all past away. My phone number is 503-760-0977 if any one wants to get ahold of me. I am so sorry to hear of her passing as I used to stop at her house for many years on my way home before I retired from the City of Portland. She was always outside working or playing with the dog till she went into the place on 60th and Division. She did give us some info when last we visited her. She truly loved my Uncle Dick. I do remember picnic's in the back yard around 4th of July. I have such wonderful memories. Hope to hear from some of or all of my cousins Hugs JoAnn
I am saddened to hear about Jay's death. He was a great classmate ('64) and clubmate (Sigma Tau Service club). I always enjoyed Jay's energy and positive outlook. He also made me laugh on many occasions. May deepest condolences to Jay's family.
The Bodners were neighborhood friends of my parents, we played with their children. Jay was a fun, smiley, happy friend..We shared holidays together as well..Great family...Jay's father owned a toy wholesale business so Jay always had the newest toys to play with & share...sorry to see him pass...love to the family...
Paul was always helpful and kind to me. When i was worrying about taking my first promotion exam, he called me into his office and gave me notes that he had kept about the questions he remembered from his promotion exam. It helped me get an idea of what the exam would look like. He told me it was common practice for sergeants to mentor their subordinates and since none of the women on the department had been through that process for sergeant, he felt that I had worked hard and he wanted me to succeed. That was an act of kindness that I have obviously never forgotten.
Such an honor to have known Uncle Dave. He and Aunt Ruth raised a wonderful family that are carrying on his legacy of love and grace. He was always so kind to me and seemed genuinely glad to talk. He was a man of love and grace.
I knew marcus from provo, utah.. sure it's been 37 years but still a damn shame
I knew Marcus from provo, utah. its a damn shame
We would like to express our sincere condolences to Rabbi Joshua Stampfer's family.
I still cannot believe he is gone from us. I spoke with Jack late last summer, and while he wasn’t feeling well, he was still actively engaged in bus rapid transit work throughout our industry and we looked forward to getting together to catch up this past fall. It is why this feels so unfair for all of us who knew him as a colleague and loved him as a friend. To me he was a mentor in navigating the often-nuanced world of consulting practices as well as a trusted partner in building our firm’s reputation and BRT business. There are so many fond memories of Jack I will share. The first was in 2006, when we were asked by the Federal Transit Administration to represent U.S. BRT expertise at an international conference in Cuenca, Ecuador. The conference presiding official, the mayor and the dean of the civil engineering school at the university there, took a special liking to Jack, and lobbied him intensely to come help implement his vision for BRT in his city. On the evening before the conference, Ecuador qualified for the knock-out rounds of the World Cup of soccer for the first time in its history. The whole country erupted in celebration as is common with such events. On the final morning of the conference, Jack and I were scheduled to speak, but a revised schedule was circulated that morning, with a two-hour “coffee break” inserted between my panel before and Jack’s panel after said break. The new break was designed to allow the conference attendees to watch the game Ecuador had against Germany that morning. All of the panelists were also issued Ecuador national team jerseys, and we proudly wore them as we speak. I still have mine to this day and I am certain Jack had his. My other memory was of another international trip, this time as invited speakers at another international conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I was scheduled to be the conference chairman, meaning I would introduce panelists and moderate questions from the audience. But then I came down with a case of laryngitis during the trip over! Jack and several of our colleagues insisted that I follow through, and “that it wasn’t that bad,” though I could barely speak. There was Jack in the first or second row center, encouraging me, giving me tea and honey and slipping me what I believe to be a hot toddy during the lunch break at the pub across the street. All of it did make me feel better, and the audience cut me some slack and gave me encouragement, even though at times they could barely hear me – all of it encouraged first and foremost by Jack and our Parsons Brinckerhoff colleagues on both sides of the Pond. These are just some of many memories, of course. Our time together became fewer between as we both got busier thanks to our successes, and lately, our illnesses. But all of them were so simultaneously fun, enlightening and rewarding. Because he treated me like family, I am sure his family misses him dearly, even more so now that he is not here. I certainly do. But our memories and love for him, and his reputation and the deep respect he had in our industry, remain. I am grateful we at least have that, and that he is at peace with no more struggle and pain.
I still feel you are with me, mom. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones up in heaven. We sure missed you here on Earth. Rest in Peace, Mom. Tina & April love & miss you, too. Your daughter, Jean
To the Bodner family- I met Jay years ago with my ex-husband at the trade shows in Vegas. What a great guy. I joined him and a few other runners each morning for a run. He was truly a kind, fun person. I was saddened to come across this. Please accept my heartfelt codolances.
So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Know you all will miss this wonderful man of God. Looks like heaven got some good one's this year. Praying for you.
I have very fond memories of working with Cliff at Hearthstone. He was a gentle and thoughtful man and always ready with a good story!
Dear Robin, Michael and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Jay’s death. We will always remember him as a kind and generous person. We hope the many happy memories of him will sustain you, Elana, Rob and Jeremy as you mourn his loss. Jay was a real “mench”
Dear Robin, Michael and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Jay’s death. We will always remember him as a kind and generous person. We hope that happy memories of a long history together will sustain you, Elana, Rob and Jeremy as you mourn the loss of a real “ mench”.
I still miss your friendship every day Kathy. I know you're soaring with the angels, but I still miss your friendship.
I so enjoyed knowing Al in Tai Chi. I loved his sparkle, and hearing bits of stories from his long life. He said he worked building Mt. Rushmore (not carving, but schlepping). In honor of his work on Mt. Rushmore, and our deep respect for Al, we made a photoshop card for his 100th birthday, with Al's smiling face on Mt. Rushmore. Rest in Peace, Al.
I SO loved knowing Al and "Tai Chiing" with him for the last five years or more! Visiting with Al was always such a fun and learning experience! He was a Fellow of vast life experiences, a loving heart, Happiness and Humor that Flowed through Him, always. I miss him...yet my memories of "Al" are joyously with me, always!
Hanging with You, David and Ivan in the car at women's forum talking and listening to music and chilling, all of us enjoying each others company and having a fun time talking to Molly 💙💙 miss you Gigi thank you for helping me after my car crash understand what was wrong with my ribs and neck thank you for having an insane amount of knowledge inside that beautiful brain of yours. I'll always cherish the memories I have of us. You were truly a brilliant shining star
I think about you everyday mom and will think about you every day until I die I miss you so much. You were such a wonderful woman and nobody can compare to you. Thank you for everything you've done for me in my life I appreciate everything. Your loving daughter, Nancy. Please feel free to visit me in spirit, until we meet again.Love forever Nancy
Mom, I don’t want you to worry about anything. I’m taking care of David, April & Tina. Come visit us once you get settled in Heaven. I still need you to walk beside me in life. We all love you and miss you more than words can say.
Joan, Your wonderful daughter did you proud with the lovely obituary she wrote about your and your life. What a generous person you were. I sure learned more about you than I ever knew. I am so glad I got to be a small part of your life. May you rest in peace Dear Lady. Barbara
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. What a blessing to know it is only a temporary goodbye. He was such a wonderful man!
Mom, I hope you have now reunited with Blackie, Star, Boots, Shasta, Bobby and your mother. We here on Earth miss you more than words can say. Nothing in my life is the same without you by my side. I will always love and admire you. You were always there for me and I for you. I love you very much. 💞💞💞
As a South Dakota native I was pleased to meet Al at Tai chi class. I was always impressed by his positive attitude about life! God bless.
I was honored to know Al through our Tabor Heights United Methodist Church. He was a positive example to me of graceful aging, especially as I watched him perform Tai Chi with his Hollywood Senior Center class aided by his walker.
I was honored to know Al through our Tabor Heights United Methodist church. He was a fine example of graceful aging to me especially as I watched him perform his Tai Chi class movements with the aid of his walker!
Al was an inspiration to me. I admired all the wonderful qualities that made him the special person that he was. He had intelligence, wit, charm and a caring heart. I met him late in life through the Golden Dragons Paddling Team. Wish I had known him earlier in my life. Al was kind, compassionate, and a true gentlemen. sadly there are few people like that in the world today. He will be truly missed.
Albert, Yes, I will miss such a kind engaging friend as Al. A man, a gentleman, along with being respectful and open to all. What I know most about my friend was how fully he participated in this life he was given. I only experienced the ending years, but I saw a runner, paddler, team mate and captain, a host, a lover, a boat captain, a good conversationalist and listener, a friend to many many people. We will miss him, especially February 4th. My love to Al's family and all his friends. Sue Thornton
I will always have wonderful memories of Al, from our Golden Dragon boat races. He was part of "The Greatest Generation".
It is so sad to see our dearest friends no longer in our lives, but the memories will live forever
Kris, my memories go back to elementary school, Lakevale, and Bethany. You always made me smile. I remember creating dance routines with you while Stephen was laid up on the couch in a cast to try to make him laugh. I remember pink flowers on your bedspread. Playing in the waves with you at the beach. We were always laughing together. It's been years, but I cried when I heard the news today. May your family find peace.
Dear Luke's Family, Old and Young, Far and Near, I celebrate Luke's well accomplished and life and share your sadness with you. May you find comfort, peace, love, strength, joy, and hope in the following quotes with the Lord's promises & His own resurrection: “I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." -- Leo Buscaglia "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 "25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” -John 11:25-27 With Love & Prayers, Pastor Carmen Wong
Connie And Larry Are Always With Us!!!!! We Love Them!!!!!!!
I met Connie when we worked at Westridge Elementary School. As school secretary, by her beautiful smile and gentle ways, she was loved by all adults and especially children. My husband and I took an unforgettable float trip with Connie and Larry through the Grand Canyon via the Colorado River. Connie and Larry were part of our Westridge book club for many seasons. An amazing couple that will be dearly missed. 💕
I worked with Larry for 10 years and spoke with Connie frequently. We always talked Yankees.. we even went to 2 Mariners games when the Yankees visited.. great people who will always be remembered
You were one of the best students I ever had. I will miss you and remember you in my daily prayers.
Rest in peace sweet lady.
Rest in peace, Kris. My condolences and love to all.
dear Rich I am dumb, plumb struck, and torn. an old friend instantly, as someone who has had experiential mourn. I am at a loss to imagine burying an oath. know that everyone who has known you is asunder at your loss. With deepest respect dairies
I remember Kris as one of the most hilarious and joyous people I've met. I am deeply saddened that she is gone and wish all her loved ones the best.
Shocked and so saddened by this news. Kris, you will be missed. I'll especially miss your sense of humor. Heartbroken. Rest in peace, lovely person. xoxoR
Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family Steve at this difficult time.
I will miss our rides on the max and talks at the bar. I will miss you you greatly my friend.
Kris you were loved and so many will miss you I used to really like your Facebook posts about your Lola and pictures of your wonderful looking cooking💜
I can't even begin to explain how heartbroken I feel. I will truly miss our chats and hugs. West Club bar at Moda will never be the same without you. R.I.P dear friend.
You will be missed by many
It is difficult to find words of condolence when something so precious has been lost so suddenly. There are no words - it simply takes your breath away. I will be holding the Strackbein's and the Ritsma's close to my heart. Kris was a vibrant loving person and her spirit will live on in our memories of her - her charm, her wit and the closeness she shared with her friends and family. I loved sharing my recipes with her, she was a talented cook! and she often put her own spin on them - and the results were always fabulous! I will miss talking to her about old rock bands that we used to know, and sharing the surprises of a life lived well loved. She will be dearly missed by all. My love goes out to all.
Thank you all for sharing your mama/gma with us. (@SilverCloud) I knew the very first day that I met Miss Harriet that she was my kind of woman; down to earth, persistent. sassy. chatty, not afraid to say it like it is & some lol, a little bossy lol but yet one of the most loving caring giving ladies I've ever met. I knew we would have a special bond. And we most definitely did. I already miss our chats, laughing with her about our safe but dysfunctional looking transfers sometimes(thankful nobody was around to see it heeee) & im really going to miss those hugs & high 5s throughout the day. :( I love that little lady & my heart is heavy. She was an amazing woman & I feel truly blessed to have had her as my roommate & family these last couple years. Cheers to you Miss Harriet Meyers. Hope your flying free my friend. Until we met again... Another angel can now use her wings. I love you till the day after forever!

To Pamela and family, my sincerest condolences. My prayers are with you and may she rest in peace.
Lesley was my teacher, friend, and confidant. I learned to trust again because of her. She taught me to open my heart. I shared many laughs, and tears with her. It was a gift and an honor to know her. She will be dearly missed. My condolences to the family and loved ones. Her light will always shine.
Lesley was my teacher, my friend, and my confidant. She introduced me to Breathwork, she told me the truth about myself when I most needed to hear it. She made me laugh, I shared my fears with her, and there were a few tears shed as well. She helped me learn to trust again and to have an open heart. She was an inspiration to know. It was an honor to have crossed paths with her. I am only now just learning of her passing. She has come into my mind so many times this past year. I was shocked to learn of her fate. She will be dearly missed. Her life held so many adventures and there were many more in store, no doubt. My condolences to the family and loved ones. Sincerely, Olivia
My dad i miss you and love you.

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Lakefish family in the loss of their beloved mother and grandmother. Sending love and prayers at this difficult time.
I will miss my sweet cousin. I have memories of her as a child so patiently playing with me even though she was 9 yrs older.
Jimmy, I am so, so sorry at hearing the loss of your son. I know that no words can possibly help, but I would like to share an old Irish saying that helped me cope with the loss of family and friends: "Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, but Love leaves a memory that no one can steal" Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you!
Ms. Marilyne will be missed by many. Prayers to the Lakefish family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and Andrew's friends. I am sure you are very proud of him and his contribution to you and the rest of us on this earth. He won't be forgotten. Grace and peace to you.
Dear Jimmy, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is the hardest thing to endure. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, your wife and all the family and friends of Andrew. He sounds like an amazing man and wonderful musician.
I love you my ‘frog boy’. I’ll never be the same without the guy I considered my big brother. I know you’re okay now though. I love you more than words can explain.
Jimmy, As a parent I can't pretend to imagine your grief and loss. My heart and prayers are with you and family. I am so sorry. Dale

Dearest Jim and Ester, I have no words other than I send love, white light and heartfelt condolences. I remember Andrew as a wonderful young artist full of ideas and quiet energy. Know I think of you as your community celebrates Andrew’s life. Holding you in the light, Caren
My daughter met Charles recently and said, "No wonder your "financial calls" are so long! He's wonderful! So much fun!" Indeed I will miss those life talks dearly and extend my deepest sympathy to his work family, David and Carmen, and his personal family, of whom he spoke with such pride and love.
So very sorry for the family's loss, way to young.
I'm so sad to hear about Charles.My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends. I worked with him for many years as my company's trusted financial advisor. I will always remember his huge smile. He was such a kind man and always so generous with his time. RIP Charles. You are missed.
Sincere condolences to the Ducharme Family. His bright smile and positive attitude will be missed.
Reading Andrew's writing was a gift, as his quiet presence was loudly disrupted by his powerful and creative words. I love how in one piece he described himself as peaceful, determined and wise.
Stan was one of the most wonderful people I've know. Wise, patient, a beautiful joy in iving.
I had the privilege to coach the David/Charles team as it was coming into being in the early 2000's. I looked forward to every meeting with the two of them. Charles was always positive, energetic, thoughtful, well-spoken, clearly brilliant; most importantly he welcomed you with that huge smile and his enveloping warm friendship. His life was a great gift for the (too short) time he was with us and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and with David.
Deepest condolences to Charles's family and friends. I remember his sincere caring and warmth when he visited us at home. He was a super financially keen person. My heart goes out with compassion and prayers to Charles family.
I spoke to Charles a week before his passing. I remember him as a bright light excited about this chapter of his life. My condolences to his family. I was told God doesn't take people from us, He receives them. He just got one of the best.
...such pleasure in every day
Deepest condolences to Charles's family and friends. He was kind, generous with his time, great at his work and a sweet man. We are so sad to see him go.
vaya con dios
Charles was a super financial person, he took care of our accounts and always kept us informed , he was our hero and we will miss him always. He always told John and I how much he loved his family and sports.
Conversations that always centered around helping others and time with family.
Larry and I are thankful that we met Charles and felt confident that we could trust him to manage our money He was friendly and confident.
I worked with Gary for many years, he is in our hearts and prayers. He is in peace now. Debilitating disease is a terrible thing. RIP my friend!
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our deepest gratitude for Charles’ ongoing support and guidance to our family. The Don Hancock Family
I was just getting to know Charles as my financial adviser and was looking forward to a long relationship in that respect. I thoroughly appreciated his keen insight and advice. My heart goes out to Charles' family and friends.
Sincere condolences to the Ducharme family. Sending nothing but love and strength in this time.
Deepest Condolences to Michele, Brinley, Joseph, Gay, Ann, John and Thomas. Charles will always be remembered as a bright light in my life and to all who knew him. Sending healing thoughts & prayers to his family.
Charles was a friend as much as a financial adviser. We spent far more time speaking of sailing, skiing and sportscars than anything else. He's a person I would have loved to know more of, but feel honored by the time we spent talking. My best wishes to all of his family and his friends and acquaintances as well.
Over the years, I came to regard Charles as a friend as well as a trusted financial advisor. My thoughts and prayers are with his wonderful family that he was so proud of.
Oh, Charles - there has never been anyone more trustworthy or honorable in my life. You were a wonderful advisor and a sweet friend, and I will miss you forever.
I really don't know what to say it was such a shock he was so full of life so up beat he will be missed my many my heart and prays go out to his family
Over the years I came to regard Charlens as not only my financial advisor, but a friend. His efforts have contributed toward my being able to enjoy a worry free retirement. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family which II know he was so very proud of. He will be missed but his legacy as a person who was always there to help others will live on.
I admired and so appreciated Charles. I will miss his wise counsel and his helpful manner.
Charles made the world a better place and he made my life a better life. Thank you, dear friend.
Charles was such a fine gentleman and conscientious supporter. I am glad to have known him and saddened to see him pass.
All who knew Charles will forever miss that HUGE smile! As business partners we forged a deep friendship that extended well beyond our office walls. I am so grateful for the seventeen years we worked alongside one another. Fair winds and following seas. You will be missed dear friend. David Greger
Even after 2 years I still think about how amazing of a teacher she was. She helped me find my creative voice when it came to writing. She was so kind and supportive and I'll never forget what a joy it was to be able to get feedback from her on something I was working on, or anything like that. I'm so grateful for her.
Dear Esther and Jim, I remember my moments with Andrew when we were kids as well as if it were yesterday. I think fondly of meeting Andrew in gymnastics camp, where I was delighted to find a fellow half Asian friend. I was struck by Andrew's genuine love for life and thoughtful nature. I look back fondly at a playdate we had at your house where he introduced me to his guinea pigs and we floated paper boats down the stream running alongside the sidewalk. I also recall a trip our families took to Calistoga, where I was able to spend more time with Andrew. I am so sorry for your loss, but I hope you find comfort in the fact that Andrew will be remembered by the people he impacted forever. -Kelsey Rasmussen
My fondest memories of Andrew were in our Bay School mandarin class. His sense of humor always made everyone laugh. I will always remember him for his musical talent, and his performance at the talent show. He will truly be missed. Sending love and prayers.
I am sending love to Andrew's family. He was known for his incredible sense of humor. I often find myself telling stories of the funny things he did throughout high school and college, and the impression of freedom that he has truly left on those around him. He was very kind, and part of that kindness showed in his constant desire to make others laugh.
Dear Jim and Esther: words cannot express my profound sadness for you and Andrew. Although we haven’t met lately, the memories are alive of the times we spent together at the Ranch in Healdsburg. And the memory of what a cheerful, polite youngster Andrew was. Only time will reduce your pain and help you relive the sweet family memories. I will think often of you and keep you in my prayers and looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, Chau.
Although I never personally met Andrew, I am saddened by his passing. May Andrew rest in peace. And may his parents, grandparents, family, and friends be comforted in this time of deep loss and sadness.
We stood shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand as we said farewell to our dear Uncle Albert. It was a beautiful day at Willamette National and as we listened to Taps and the wonderful military salute and the folding of our American flay, and Father’s beautiful words, I knew that although we lost a magnificent mind, a true scholar, an individual with a strong faith, a lover of beauty and books and a very special Uncle that the lessons he taught me are more valuable than any precious gem. You will be missed by us all. God bless your soul as you begin your new life in eternity. We will meet again And such a strong faith
Today my dearly-loved Godfather, and Uncle Albert, will be laid to rest. Words cannot express the depth of emotion in my heart. As we say farewell, I will find comfort in the words, "May the choirs of angels come to greet you. May they lead you to Paradise. May the Lord enfold you in His mercy. May you find eternal life." Godspeed, Uncle Albert!
Al was such a positive person. I always looked forward to seeing him. He always had interesting stories to tell. He will be missed by many people.
What a wonderful man! He shared his talents and knowledge with many, plus his strong Catholic faith. When I was at Marylhurst, he played my son-in-law in a play. His "wife" was named Jenny. Five hears later I had a baby named Jenny. He will be in my prayers.
I enjoyed working with Sam at Reliable Credit. He was a very kind person and was always so nice to me.
Al was a greet teacher at the unv .of Portland, he was a nice person, a fine actor and always fun to share some vino with. he can't be replaced, he was one of a kind.
I owe a lot to Al Cereghino. He was not only a professor at the U. of P. where I graduated, but a mentor and friend. I have told many that he was the smartest person I every knew. I know he is thought of as a Renaissance man, and that fits. My brief connection with his Executive Theater program was a significant contributor to the start of my trial consulting career, as the firm that hired me required that experience. I was one of the lucky ones who knew Al Cereghino.
He was one of the “coolest” & intriguing persons I’ve ever met. Very inspirational & a wealth of knowledge. A sunny disposition that would rub off on a person instantly. It was a honor to know him even tho brief, in the grand scheme of life. I met him in Lake Oswego. He lived directly below me. A remarkable handsome man who seemed to be a “step above it all” and one I claim in my personal “forever friend club”. He is a memorable individual. My thoughts and condolences to all family and I especially enjoyed meeting his nieces, Christina & Linda. May his good memories fill the holes in your hearts while he is gone on another great adventure.
So long for now
My Mom, Flora Cereghino Rigotti, had 3 siblings. Sophie, Stella and my “Uncle Albert”. For as long as I can remember, Uncle Albert helped nurture my imagination, creativity and curiosity. He would often leave me with more questions than answers, but that was meant to make me think. Since 2004, I had more time to reflect with Uncle Albert. Always the teacher, he would discuss the ‘art of slow looking’ at beauty; whether it be art, music, sculpture or the finest of details in faces. It’s difficult to say Goodbye. So rather like HYMN, let me say ‘so long for now’.
I got to know Arne when I did a story on him for Oregon Art Beat. He was a real flirt and so fun to work with. I met him several times afterwards for lunch and I treasure our outings. I JUST learned of his passing now. I would have attended his service had I heard about it in time. Condolences to his family. Arne was a great artist and I really liked him so much,
Very fond memory of early ‘80’s visit to Ft Bidwell with my mother Alexis Runyan, and the very warm hospitality of Mac & Delores. With sincere condolences.
Thank you Mac for allowing me the privelidge and honor of caring for you ❤ you are missed...
I am so sad to have just read that Sam passed away this past February. He was only 6 months older than me. Sam was most important to me during our high school years though he attended Lincoln and I attended Washington. The B'nai Brith in South Portland was where we met in our various activities. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, then finally did get together several years ago and managed to keep in touch. As an amateur genealogist, I have done his tree. May he rest in peace.
Bye Dallas, from Corpus, lol for real loves
dearest Gerry : biologically you were my aunt, but in reality you were my big sister, only 10 years older than me. you were my confidant, best friend, travel companion, and loved by my entire family, especially Ted, Meribeth,Lynne, Gary, David and Douglas.we will always miss you and remember you with love my
Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall You had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true, Ah, bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not forgotten loved one nor will you ever be As long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore As time goes by we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can take your vacant place.
I cannot state as eloquently the beautiful words Linda used to describe her Mom, my Aunt. Those words captured her love and generosity to all she loved or met. She was more than generous to me over the years offering nonjudgmental support and love. I remember her phone calls to our childhood home when would try to determine if my sister Kathy or I had answered the phone. So to cover both possibilities she combined both names and said “Clathy?” There are too many wonderful memories to mention but suffice it to say, all will remain in my mind and heart. Though we were separated by many miles, I thought of you often, spoke to you until you were unable to speak and missed having you near. I will always remember your kindness and love. I will miss you.
Sorry about Aunt Gerry
Lindsay was my dad Martin farlow first cousin his mother flora and my grandmother Jerry are sisters I just found out about his passing and my condolences go out
Lindsey was my dad Martin farlows first cousin my grams Jerry and Flora are sisters I just found out but my condolences go out to the family
George was a cherished member of the Theosophical Society. He enjoyed our annual picnic -- and, in his 90s, won the croquet match! He is missed.
Just was notified of Greg's passing. I remember him from Roger Bacon, and for being a wonderful person and great Spartan. Sad to hear of this. Prayers for Greg's family.
My condolences to the family and friends of my Aunt Esther. Thanks to everyone who took care of her during her last couple of years here on earth. Now she is with her Savior and reunited with her husband Chet and my parents and many loved ones. I have great memories of Esther.

Gonna miss you brother !! We had some good times and always made each other laugh! Crap we invented another use for duck tape and a 9/16 socket !! You’ll always be remembered for that hard head but tender heart !! Love you brother!! See you again one day!
Chuck was a really nice guy whom I was fond of. Even after all these years he still respected me and called me Aunt. I am happy to know that Maddy and Chuck shared the years they had together and their closeness remained if only by phone and text. I know Maddy will make Chuck proud of her as she continuous her life choices.
I met Mike & Margaret at St. Pius X church several years ago when we were attending daily mass. They were a lovely couple. I remember both of them fondly. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Janice Burkhead
I will miss you Charles.Times at the mission were good with you there. Rest in Peace my Cowboys Buddy.
All those years of living by each other. Growing up in our teenage years. Listening to punk music and riding bikes. I'll see you on the flip side my friend.
All those years of living by you and growing up in our teenage years. I'll see you on flip side.
Our condolences to the family. We knew Chuck when we were teenagers and witnessed first hand his bike skills. He was something of a spitfire and will be missed.
We have known Chuck for 40 years. He was a special young man. Very determined to accomplish anything and everything. I will miss his comments to me under the guise as "mom". He touched our hearts! We will miss him. May he live on in our hearts. Until we meet again may he rest in peace. ❤
Evelyn was a great person I known her over 25 years at Fred Meyers she always was nice helpful and love all her customers she worked in the old building in home improvement Dept for years and was so kind to all she will be blessed by all !! God bless
<3
I enjoyed working with Larry at PANG Base and his humor and kindness. God Bless.
As many people before me he was a great mentor and adviser, of all things he talked me in to finishing school even when the cards were stacked against me. I hope you’re are finally resting in peace.
Dr. Gayde was a wonderful person and a super wonderful doctor. After many many doctors and tests she was the.one that took the time to study my symptoms and listen to me and pulled it all together. She was the only one that diagnosed me properly and treat the condition. I.missed her after she moved north. I tried for a long time to locate her and thank her. I learned of her passing from her colleagues in central CAI was deeply saddened She spoke often of her sons and how much she loved them. I.miss til this day and that Brooklyn accent.
We were very sorry to hear of Marsha’s passing. Sympathies to her family. A donation to OPB has been made in her honor.
Sonny, thank you for reaching out to me and my children!
My dearest mother Marjorie and father Benjamin, on this July 4th 2019 it is with great honor and an aching heart that I remember you with love and appreciation for everything you contributed to my life. Our 4th of July celebrations were a great part of my childhood, and you always made them special. Love Always, Thea
I enjoyed time with your entire family years ago, and have searched for Beth and Jeff off and on frequently through the years. Your mother was such a happy lady. Didn't know about Al's passing until the obituary. Best wishes.
So many memories, but every year about this time the memories and sadness fill my mind to a point where it’s hard to think of anything else. You’re missed by many people, all of the time. Levi wonders about you. I wish you were still here to see him, he’s incredible. We love you Spencer.
Joan Murray, I have appreciated you giving me Marsha’s name to update my Documents for living in Oregon. What a shock to have Your Daughter gone! My thoughts are with you—— Sally Kenney
My dear Marsha, Little did we know when I visited Portland last April and we met for happy hour that it would be our last. We have so many shared memories of our childhood friendship from junior high through high school in Kalispell, Montana. I will miss you! Rest In Peace.
My dear Marsha, Little did we know when we celebrated our childhood friendship during happy hour in April that it would be our last. I’m grateful for that last time with you and for all our shared memories. Rest In Peace.
I am in shock!
My dearest sister-You are loved and missed. Forever your family-The Fickens
Faye was the perfect neighborhood Grama -and how lucky we were that she lived so close to us that my daughter and her granddaughter (Rhonda and Katelynn) could tromp back and forth a few blocks between homes and feel really "independent" -- just like the kind of woman Faye was--independent and strong. I will always remember her welcoming smile!
Dear Aunt Vida, Thank you for loving me and my family. You have always been a special part of my life despite the miles that separated us. I will always treasure all of my memories of time spent with you and the joy of those special moments. May you rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus as you look with upon the loving face of God. You are forever in my heart and I love you into eternity. 💕💕✝️ With prayerful condolences to all of your loved ones.
Ohhh, how I miss you sweet Faye!...you were such a joy! ... people like you make me go further... I truly wished I had you in my life a little longer :(.... until we meet again sweet Faye! Love Raluca
Faye's house was always the home for her granddaughter, Katelynn, and I to have fun. Be it from 1st graders playing dress up in the basement while drinking seltzer water, to college students sanding down and repainting thrift-store furniture with Faye's tools. Through her open heart and the encouragement of imagination, some of my happiest memories are involved with G-ma Faye. With her wisdom, wit, and love, I'm confident she's watching over her family as the proud matriarch and strong woman she was and continues to be forever in our hearts. My condolences and prayers go out to the beautiful family Faye protected, guided, and raised.
I am so sorry for your loss :( Although I never got to know Faye as personally as Rhonda did, she always seemed like an incredible lady. Moreover, she raised such an amazing daughter and grandchildren, it speaks to what a great person she truly was.
The Speciales lived 2 doors down from my parent's home on s.e. 60th. I have many memories of going to their home and sitting outside on the patio. Fay is always in my memories of Summer at 60th avenue. I will never forget. Thank you Faye.
This amazing woman Fay Speciale was my mother. She was a force of nature and so very ahead of her time. She was an amazing role model to her children and grandchildren. I will love her and miss her everyday of my life. She lives on in the faces of my daughters Kelsey, Claire and Katelynn. My joy is knowing that she is once again with my father dancing in heaven.

I’m so sorry for your loss. LBel will be missed. What has helped me in times like these is what Jesus said at John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” I hope this will comfort you as it has me. If you need anyone to talk to, please feel free to reach out to me.
Brom and Mary were good friends and fellow theatergoers at ART for a number of years. They were always upbeat and fun to be with. We will miss Brom and send Mary and the family our sincere condolences.
Brom was a great help to me when I became a new ALJ with the Employment shortly before he retired. He had enormous patience, and was a great teacher. My sympathies go out to his entire family. Rest in peace, dear man.
I was an intern at ERB in 1979 and Brom was one of my great mentors. I still remember his gentle approach and his wise guidance as an impartial neutral, which helped me choose my eventual career as a laabor arbitrator. Thanks, Brom.
I didn't know him, but I am sorry for your loss, Roberta.
Auntie was one like no others. Although our entire relationship was spent 3,000 miles apart I always felt close and loved by her, We would speak and share stories of our families, and send pictures . Her paintings whether on paper, canvas or rocks are my treasures and are always surrounding me. Love of family was everything to her and taught me a lot. Auntie will always be in my heart and mind.
Estou muito chocada, ao descobrir da morte da Anna!Estou há anos lhe procurando....Sinto profundamente..éramos muito amigas aqui no Brasil! Uma querida amiga, onde vivi lindos e doces momentos!

It’s so very hard to lose a loved one and I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and the family 🙏🏻
Just the other day, I was packing up some things when I came across the reindeer she painted for me. That was a beautiful gesture from a wonderful woman. My heart and love goes out to you and the family.
I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful woman your Mom was. I will never forget her and her kindness and generosity toward me.
On behalf of the Lakefish family, please accept our condolences.
I just wanted to light a candle for Ms, Olga and my extended family. Sorry I was not able to be by your sides but you are in my heart and prayers. Love you Family.
I worked indirectly with Dieter through much of my early career in Electrical Engineering, first at Lattice Semiconductor in the mid 1980's, and at Sharp Microelectronics, from 1988-1996. He was always a pleasant, witty person. Though I didn't work with him directly very much, I always had a lot of respect and admiration for him. I remember at Lattice, he was head of the Digital Signal Processing team, DSP for short, and we used to refer to it with the alternate name of "Dieter Spaderna Products". I was sorry to hear of his passing at a relatively young age, and express condolences to the dear family he leaves behind.
It's in reading obituaries that we really find out about people's lives, and it's with the deepest regret that I did'nt really know grandma that well while she was on the face of the earth. Rest easy on the right hand of god, grandma. You're probably up there cooking Easter dinner and goodies for everybody!
Leonard will always be part of the Levine family, and never forgotten. The family, even as it has grown, has ensured that his character, demeanor and values remain remembered.
Thank you Terry! You were an amazing guy.
Just found out about Terry’s passing. Wish I had known at the time I would of gone to the service. He was a great landlord and a great guy.
Love you Marilyn. You are a classy, fun loving, warm and wise woman. I will miss you dear-heart.
Marilyn was such a special lady. I loved visiting and seeing her often inThe Atwater. Kind, giving and thoughtful. Miss her.
Dear Burke, Scott, and Maureen, We are so sorry to hear you lost your mom. Please accept our sincere condolences and know that we are thinking about you. Much love, Chris and Kristi Thornburg San Clemente, California
Love and miss you everyday Dad...You were the most wonderful father
Hello Mr. and Mrs Craig I don’t know if you remember me but my name is Ivan Anthony Jaramillo. I used to go to ventura park with Isaiah. I had no idea what had happened to Isaiah until just recently checking my facebook. I’m so sorry for your loss. Isaiah was one of my bestfriends back in the days. He was one if the few people who would actually talk to me. He is also one of the reasons I joined the marine corps. We used to talk about the military a lot. He would tell me about how his brother is a marine and how cool he was. Those were good times. My prayers go out to you. I wish you well.
I went to school with Tom Lunt and still think about him from time to time. He and Robert Mahaffey came to Montana to visit me some years ago and we had a wonderful time. Tom Lunt was one of the most entertaining and brilliant men I ever knew. I admired him greatly, particularly the way in which he dealt with his health issues in the latter part of his life. I had the occasion to spend time with him and Portland and always loved watching how well loved his pets, both domestic and wild, were. He was an extraordinary highly sensitive man. Some of my fondest memories of my four years at Lewis and Clark College include times spent with Tom Lunt. I am grateful for the privilege of having enjoyed his friendship for all those many years. I miss him still.
We are saddened by Sam's passing.May he rest in peace.
Nous avions été heureux lorsqu'elle s'était rapprochée de vous à Portland près d'une côte où le soleil se couche du "bon côté". Notre famille était honorée de la compter avec Edward parmi nos amis et c'était toujours avec plaisir que nous nous rencontrions en France ou aux USA. De tout coeur avec vous trois et vos familles. Jacques et Madeleine
Sending condolences to the family. I had actually been trying to get in touch with Ugo recently as I am Albert’s Grand Daughter and have been hoping to connect on the family and was not sure how and would love to get to know this side of the family . I would love to get in touch. So sorry for your loss, my few encounters with Ugo when I was young were memorable and he was such a great man.
So sorry for your loss. Tom shared many stories about Ugo with some of his work colleagues. He was obviously someone who lived a great life, raised a great family, was loved by many and will be missed. We wish the Raglione's peace in this difficult time.
I was so very sorry to hear of Lee's passing. I did get to visit her and she was resting comfortably that day. Please know I will always have a very special place in my heart for her. She was a remarkable and courageous woman. I hope the family gets a chance to treasure the memory of this fine person.
Chuck was my longtime friend, colleague and sometime co-conspirator. Chuck passed away in Mexico while on vacation with Robin. They were celebrating their 28 Anniversary. For those of you who did not know, Chuck had many health problems that he has been managing. Sometimes well and other times not well. Here is what I know about my friend Chuck. He served in the Army during the Viet Nam era, though not in a war zone. He was a member of Local 189 of AFSCME Council 75 for 28 years. He Served as President of Local 189 for 8 years, served on the Council 75 Executive Board, Chaired the Political Action Committee for 8 years during part of my tenure at AFSCME as the Political and Legislative Director. He was Chair of the local SubChapter of the AFSCME Retirees. He was an avid bowler, card and game player, had a remarkable memory for all things historic and..., was a spectacular Chair and parliamentarian, he loved good food, rare scotch, good whiskey and wanted his steaks Blood Red and barely warm. He was a sing-along person to any song he knew, loved Musicals, adored his wife Robin and could almost always make me mad as hell and laugh in the same 5-minute window. We shared our distaste for politicians with no moral compass or commitment to a cause, He simply had no time for people and elected leaders who were not altruistic. He always stood up for the right thing, like it or not! He was way too young, just 67 years old. Too young to be gone from all of us who loved and cared about him. We had many more card games to play, many more dinners to enjoy and many more laughs to have and plots to make for those on our joint list. Not long but well deserved, good and bad. Rest well my friend your duty here is done. Those of us who mourn will watch over your family and our friend Robin.
Chuck and Robin was my next door neighbors. He mowed the lawn and enjoying life.
Maury was my grandpa, more than a year after his passing I'm just learning of this and I am just heartbroken. There is no single word that could sum up the man that was Maury, caring, funny, informative, stern, fair and Grandpa. I will always cherish the advice you gave, the love you gave and the Lawnmower you let me ride cause I was too young to drive the 56' Caddy R.I.P. Grandpa love you always

On behalf of the Staff and Board of Directors of Caregivers Nova Scotia, I should like to express our sympathy to the Stein family. We are thinking of you all.
Burt, you left this earth way to soon, yet I hope that you are in peace now that your spirit is free of your human form. Love and miss you.
My condolences to the Stein family on Burt's passing. I hope your memories bring you some comfort as you celebrate his life.
I was shocked to hear about Telsa. I didn,t know she moved . She was a very special person. Totally dedicated to the family. It took an "angel" to be able to live in that household, with her aunts and grandmother, and take care of everybody in the following years. Please accept my condolences. i would like to have the address of Franklin or Cherie.------PERFECT OBITUARY! ------Cousin, Jessie
To the family and friends, I am very sorry to here of the loss of your loved one. Where can we receive comfort when we grieve? 2Corinthians 1:3,4 in the Bible says: " Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." God comforts us by letting us know what happens to our loved ones when they die and gives us hope that hey will be brought back to life. To see proof of this from your Bible ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses to show you. Also you can see a short vedio "Is There Hope for the Dead?" https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&prefer=content&applanguage=E&locale=en&item=pub-imv_4_VIDEO&docid=1011214
Sonny, as his Mother, Father, sisters and brothers knew him had a full and colorful life full of loving close family. Always one of my closest uncles no matter how the miles separated us. My Mom would giggle like a teenager when he called. He is missed.
So sorry to read about the passing of Telsa. Through my many years of friendship with Freddie, and even though I may not have personally met you, I feel I know the whole family. I always admired how devoted Telsa was to Freddie... even when Freddie rebelled against her sister's advice (like cleaning the house or going to the doctor). I always felt good being around Telsa as she was so easy to talk to and so giving of herself. I am certain your beautiful memories of your Mom, Grandma, great-grandma and friend will keep her alive in your heart.
Stan was my brother-in-law and a good friend. He was a gentle man with a sweet spirit. He loved family gatherings, intellectual conversations and trout fishing. He loved to read. He was a man of faith and I look forward to the day when we meet again.
My Condolence to you and your family, Sir! Your Dad has touched so many hearts in Revere Ct , May he truly be missed!
You will truly be missed Mr. Day! It was surely nice to have met you,one whole yr of me working in RC!
Dad I love you and you will always be in my heart. Thank you for being the best Father a Son could ever ask for. Love Chip
On behalf of my family, we extend our deepest condolences at the passing of my dad's last brother. My dad has fond memories growing up in Rochester and often mentions his brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. With best wishes and kind regards, Kevin Reeves - on behalf of Leigh and Sunny Reeves.
My condolences and warm thoughts to Uncle Herb's extended family. I spent a Christmas with him in New Jersey in 1961 while I was spending a year with G&G Reeves in Rochester. Fond memories of that visit return often. Warmest regards to all.
I wished we had kept in touch, I miss you Haig, our world misses you..
Love and miss you forever my friend.
Love you forever Alter Wiener
Alter called me one evening. I was so happy because I just read read his book. He told me I was the epitome of everything he wanted as a child. I loved him and he was my hero. R.I.P. Dear Alter.
Al loved coming to Patton Middle School (OR) because he so much enjoyed interacting with two particular teachers, one especially, who helped to develop the Holocaust unit based around study of "The Diary of Anne Frank." The 8th graders always entered artwork for the Sala Kryszek Art & Writing Contest. As you can see, the student who did this wonderful work found her inspiration in Al.
One of the books I value is 'With G-d at my side' by Menachem Taiblum with Cyndie Meyer. This is an autographed copy and Mr. Taiblum wouldn't even take any money for it. To Mr. Taiblum's family I express my sincere condolences.

You have touched our family by spending time with us. What a generous spirit, sense of humor, and optimism for humanity. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and beautiful words.
We did not know you personally but you have made a difference in our lives. We saw you leave this earth and learned of you after. Thank you Alter for changing lives and your love will go on for ever. God bless you and your family. Our condolences to all So very sorry for your loss.
I meet Alter this year and I had the joy of visiting him and sharing one of his home cooked vegan meals.Alter was the most humble, kindest, loving man I have ever known and I will miss my beautiful friend Alter very much. He was a precious!
I am proud to say that Al was a friend of mine. I have known him for many years. Many years back now I went to do a video history with Al. He invited me to lunch (as did all the Survivors I interviewed) and I recall being a little nervous, knowing Al was vegetarian (actually vegan). I hoped I would be able to eat everything. Well, I couldn't stop eating it was so delicious. Al Wiener was a kind man, a man who connected so easily with students when he went to schools to give a talk. Al told me of a young Muslim girl who came up to him after his talk. She told Al he would probably hate her as she was a Muslim and he, a Jew. Al's response was that he would not hate her, could not hate her. You cannot be blamed for anything your ancestors did. They hugged. Al was indeed, a mensch.
Alter was a remarkable man. I first met him at my club, one of our members worked at a school he spoke at. He should serve as a teacher to all. We are stronger than we think and can survive and be thankful. He will be missed.
Forever in my heart...you will never be forgotten. You are a true hero to me. All my love to you Alter Wiener. RIP my friend.
My Dear Scabble King, You taught my family and I so much. You did not teach us just about loving each other and those around us, but about respect, friendship, accountability, hard working ethics, and perseverance. You put life into perspective and we are all forever changed for it. Thank you for everything and for pushing me to improve my Scrabble game. I will forever have a place for you in my heart. I love you dear friend. Rest In Peace my Friend!
I had the great pleasure of meeting your father at my sister's house in Portland decades ago. He was an amazing human being. Our sincere condolences to you and your family. With Deepest Symathy, Daniella Lednicer and the Lednicer-Chu family
Al had a profound impact on me as a teacher, and on the lives of countless students at South Salem High School. I feel like I've lost a Grandfather. His work sharing his experiences during the Holocaust has been so important to building understanding across generations. I shall miss him always. Especially that smile and the twinkle in his eyes.
Thank you Mr. Weiner for keeping the memory of the Holocaustalive for children in our schools and for telling your story to others to insure it never happens again. Rest In Peace.
I so enjoyed knowing Francine in the French conversation group on Saturday mornings and in a smaller group where we met in homes. She was a delight and although she knew French better than most of us she was generous in only helping when asked. I have moved away now so do not attend but I treasure her friendship in the two groups
What an incredible life. Though I knew few of the details, there was never any doubt that Francine was a woman of wit, grace, curiosity, intellectual prowess and generosity, all of which she showed and shared in countless (and often surprising) ways. I'll miss her smile, her parade of gorgeous scarves and pins, her perfect posture and her strength. There will always be a hole on the left side of the back row of the gym, and in our hearts.
Carlos Sposito. I was great friends with Debbi when we were 13/14 years old love to you both. Certainly miss you guys. Good to see your memorial online. Thank you so much. Your life such a gift you give. Blessed Be. Contact me Debbie. Love, Rachel
I remember your Dad Debbi, Love him and love you too. Thank you for being you carlo and your daughter Deborah . Miss you.
Francine was my French teacher over the past several years. I so looked forward to our Monday afternoon sessions. She was one of the most interesting people I ever knew. I never tired of her stories. I miss her very much.
An interesting life in troubled times . Your mother and dad were very determined and gifted people with lots of accomplishments. We understand the feeling of loss when a parent is gone . The memories and the knowledge of having lived a good life is what we hold and keep in our hearts ,
Hey Mark, I can't believe it's been more than 2 yrs since we last talked. I miss the stories of your girls, the funny things that happened at school or the misadventures on vacation! I miss all the funny inflection in your voice or the expression on your face at the punch line of whatever joke you were telling! It's been too long since we last talked and I wanted to say really miss our time together making your hair look great! Forever your friend Vinnie the barber
Marie was such a class act and so sweet and warm. We all grew up together and attended St. Phillip Neri. Paul was my brother Tom’s best friend and Susan and I were kindered spirits often biking around Ladds and Laurelhurst together. Oh the fun we all had together. Marie always had a smile on her face and was so kind with her words of wisdom. I am sadden to hear this news and am in the Midwest and cannot attend the services or I would be there to celebrate her life. She has a special place in my heart as one of the “Holy Name moms” and my love and sorrow go to all the kids. Peace and love to such a wonderful family.
I remember when Bonnie was little I loved fixing her curly hair. I would stand her up on the toilet and comb her hair she was so cute an a happy little face. I love you Bonnie. Cousin Jeannie
my sincere condolences to you all.
Joe and I as well as children, Collin and Julie have often remembered our visit many years ago to Portland. Your Father and Mother were very gracious hosts as was your Grandmother while we were there. We still laugh at the memory of Aunt Madeleine making her “quick quick sauce” and how delicious it was! Your parents taking us to see the devastation at Mt. St. Helen. We always enjoyed seeing your Dad whenever he came to visit either Uncle Gino and Aunt Mary or Aunt Natalie. So many lovely memories we have!
It is a privilege to have known Ray. A great man, who cared deeply about his family, friends,and his many employees..R
We will remember the trip down to Mexico and all the other RV outting that we had with you and Jean. YOU will be missed happy RVing.
You are like a big brother to me and you gave us so many wonderful memories we will never forget. We will always remember you
My prayers are with all of you.
My condolences to the family for the dear loss of Cheryl. May God who can bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted be a support for you during this difficult time. -Psalms 147:3
I wish that I could be there to honor Jerry's memory. I am there in spirit.
You shall be remembered fondly Jerry
You will be remembered fondly Jerry
You will surely be remembered and missed by all
you will be missed by so many people that enjoyed your smile and you upbeat love of life.
My brother-in-law, Ray, was a super guy! Always enjoyed his sense of humor and his larger than life smile! I will miss him but I have many wonderful stories and memories that will be treasured. Peace and prayers are wished for his family.
Ray was a very fortunate man to have created such a such a wonderful life and family. Wishing the Salvi family well and our thoughts are with you all at this time.
Always a smile...could really light up a conversation. Will be sorrily missed.
You did a beautiful job describing Ray's life. He indeed was a character that was loved by all who met him. I am so sad, yet when I think of him, I mostly smile...My heart goes out to all the family.
We are all with you at this time in your sorrow We love You
I hope you can allow your memories to bring you comfort. It was wonderful and loving for you to have him as a son. As well he was blessed to have parents and a loving family during his days here. Shalom
To the family and friends, I am very sorry to here of the death of your loved one. God told Isaiah what to write as recorded at Isaiah 26:19. It says: " Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." This will happen soon. In the mean time we can take comfort from the Holy Scriptures. Jehovah's Witnesses would be happy to study the Bible with you. You can make a request online or ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses to make arrangements.
To the family and friends of Maxine please accept my deepest condolences. You will be reunited with Maxine again very soon right here on a brand new Paradise Earth under Jesus Christ Kingdom rule Daniel 2:44, that he taught his followers to pray to come in the Lord's Prayer Matthew 6:9, 10 no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-5 jw.org?
In 1960 I moved to Portland to be with my Aunt Evelyn Hedlund. I met Barbara at Laurelhurst Presbyterian church and was an inspiration to me in all she did! I especially enjoyed her book reports and fellowship with her ar the monthly Circle meetings. To this day she is an inspiration to me and I look forward to that special day when we shall all worship our Lord and Savior in heaven!
My family attended Laurelhurst Presbyterian when I was growing up, which is where I met dear Barbara and Hal. My favorite memory is years later running into them at the ice skating rink at Lloyd Center and her comment as she watched the skaters , with a beam on her face. She pictured herself skating like they did one day in heaven, leaping and graceful. I am sure heaven is much greater than that for her, but I love thinking of her that way now! Love to her family and friends, and see you later, Barbara :)
Duane and family, my sincerest condolences for your loss. Maxine was a delight, and we all will miss her.
Bev. I still think of you! You were such an inspiration to me and everyone who knew you at the gym. I was blessed to have gotten to know you and be in the presence of such radiant beauty. I’ll never forget you!
We/I have lost a dear and devoted friend and mentor. Her eloquent voice and wise commentaries about life will be greatly missed., May she rest in Heaven with Hal and her many family members and friends.
On behalf of the von Pressentinischen Familienverband (von Pressentin Family Association) I express my formal sympathy to Susan’s family. We received the news of Susan’s passing just before our family renunion in Prestin (near Schwerin in Germany) and in the presence of family members from South Africa, Germany and the USA we were able to say a prayer and read a Psalm in our private family chapel in her name. We hope that this we be of some comfort. Sincerely, Friedrich-Franz v. Pressentin, Former Chairman
We didn't always see eye-to-eye but he was very good and passionate about what he did a former student of his I helped build some of the sets when I was in high school back in the 1980s the good old days
Mr. Ginsberg was an onry sweet man, whom I enjoyed. I knew him for many years and even though we were not close or friends really, I will miss him. I am sure he is happy to be reunited with his wife whom he spoke greatly of.
"Dirk and Bill" were the best PPB and ROCN partners on the planet. Both were often called as expert witnesses on drug trafficking organizations, and drug dealing techniques. At Bill's retirement from PPB, Dirk corrected Bill's wife on how many creams to put in his coffee--he spent more time with Bill than Bill's wife did. They were inseparable, and "the very best!"
So sorry to hear of Jodi's passing. She was a bright and vocal light at Unity of Beaverton as she pretty much ran the place when Ed Townley was minister back in the 1990's. She certainly did love to garden and her pies were legendary! God Speed on her next adventure.
I remember our beloved RHS classmate as reserved, loving and caring toward everyone. Please know her family is in my prayers.
Mike and I were so sad to here of Mike's passing. He was an exceptional individual.
A good friend from the Police Bureau. One of the best on any team. Good bye to Bill and my condolences to his family and long time partner and friend Dirk. So sorry I cant make the services. Love you Billy!
The Samman family send our heartfelt condolences to the members of Cathy’s family. We Already miss her.
Cathy was the big sister to my best friend, but I looked up to her as well. It was truly a pleasure growing up with her a couple houses down. I will always remember her kindness and her smile. My sincere condolences to the entire Konick family at this difficult time.
Cathy, It was a privilege and pleasure knowing you while growing up as a close neighbor. You will be remembered always and missed dearly.
Cathy was that quintessential caring person who loved her family, friends, animals and our country dearly. She was the glue who annually updated us on family milestones, made a wicked cole slaw, traveled widely and got the most out of life. I think we were all lucky to have had her in our lives, and she will be remembered for her kindness and wisdom. Cathy will be in my heart for as long as I live.
Our condolences to all of you on the passing of Susan. She was so mellow and caring. Love, Eric and Susan
Susan was an incredible blessing to all of us at LifeWorks NW. She cared deeply for our mission and treated everyone with great respect. She went out of her way to make everyone feel special. Her quiet strength, gentle spirit and great sense of humor will be greatly missed. We are so sorry for your loss. Mary
Susan was a quiet, strong force in the office, but mostly a very friendly face we could count on for help and encouragement. We are holding the family up in prayer and wishing you peace through immense sadness.
I always appreciated how Susan handled the craziness of a middle school office and actually got her work done. The last time I saw Susan was at Starbucks with a good cup of strong coffee. Please accept my sincere sympathy to her family.
Susan was a a beautiful person inside and out. She was not only a colleague but a friend. She is at peace now and I am thankful for that. Blessings to Todd and Chelse.
Susan was such a great friend and colleague. She was a beautiful person inside and out and I loved her dearly. RIP and blessiings to the family.
I am honored to call you a dear friend. You truly changed my life forever. I love and miss you.
Love you Uncle Billy.
Dear Diane and Rick. My heart is heavy as I have just learned of Jared's death. I first met Jared when he and Erik were first dating, in Arkansas. Eventually, they moved west and I moved east, but we continued to cross paths and make time to catch up. Jared was a remarkable man and, as evidenced by the many comments here, had a tremendously positive impact on the world around him. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
It was a privilege and honor to work and share so much of my life with a partner like Bill. He was a cops cop, courageous, calm and controlled under extreme circumstances. Bill was a quiet, humble, warrior with a contagious smile and a real prankster. He treated all with respect and dignity, even those at the lowest points in their lives. Bill's work ethic was unmatched, he at one point in his career was averaging 75 felony arrests a month and was awarded for his valor under fire on more than one occasion. He had huge impact on the heroin and cocaine distribution networks in the Portland Metro area and this world is a better place because of him. Bill was like a brother and always had my back, he was a true protector, loyal, strong and intelligent. Miss You Brother, Godspeed, Dirk
Bill was a great partner in the years I worked with him at the Portland Police Bureau and Oregon Department of Justice. He was a private and humble man,whom displayed great courage, calm and control in life and death situations and had a contagious smile and fantastic sense of humor. Bill was like a brother to me and it was a privilege and honor to share so much of my life with this man of integrity, who had my back for so many years. The world is a better place because of Bill and his contributions. He leaves behind a family that he so loved and spoke so proudly about. Take Care my Friend, Love you brother, God Speed, Dirk
A good friend, great neighbor, always a genuine smile and helping hand when needed. Bill was an outstanding father, brother, uncle and especially a soul mate to the love of his life. He will be in a friend in our hearts forever.
I have known Jan and Mel for over 60 years and I have wonderful memories of our travel and playing bridge. I, and her friends, will miss her a great deal!
I just went through the obituary listings in the Pine Bluff Commercial on-line and saw your son's name in the list. Please know that we are so sorry for your loss of a son at the young age of only 39. We will continue to pray for your family and his husband as the first year after a death is the hardest time.
Sheryl was truly the most beautiful person I was blessed to call my sister. She loved her family, fur babies and her friends with her whole heart. I know my life is richer for having known and loved her. I will always be here for Josh, Danny and Zach. I miss her everyday
My heart is broken for you, Ted and Charlie. This isn't supposed to happen to us. Having been so close for so long this feels very personal. Even though we haven't had contact for several years the feelings don't dissipate. I still feel like mishpocha. My heart is with you and the kids.
Diane, You & your family are in our prayers . We’re so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry to hear of Judith's passing. What lovely and kind lady. I played Mah Jongg with her for many years when I lived in Portland. Please know how much she was loved.

Diane and I are were long time neighbors of Judith at Rosa Park Condos in Aloha. We are very sad to hear of her passing and have good memories of her. Our thoughts are with your family.
I was in AZ in December and only heard yesterday of his death. I worked for Lattice starting in 1989 and staying for 19 year David was such a good man and always so kind to this old lady. I think of him with much affection and may God hold him close.
Bob was just a big softy!!! I will truly miss him!
I am so sorry to hear of Mike's death! I was trying to reach him to refer a new client. He handled our car accident in 2010. We could not have been happier with his work. He was the greatest! I thought of him every year on his birthday and always planned to send a card. I’m sorry I didn’t get it sent. His death is a great loss to our whole community but my heart and prayers go out to the family. The loss of a son, husband, father or brother is forever felt. We know that loss firsthand. Our son died in 2011, during our case with Mike. Mike showed much tenderness towards us.
Diane, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jared was obviously a terrific young man. I mourn your loss. With Love, Beth
I will miss him very much. We had a family relationship. May he rest in peace. There will never be another Bob Ginsberg. He is leaving a long lasting legacy.
We loved. Bob & ,carol Bob always gave me a kiss & a smile. Favorite people
Talking over the wall between our decks as we would both be barbecuing pre-dinner...quite often with a glass of wine in hand and lots of laughter.
he had a wonderful sense of humor and was a great friend. I, as well, as the family and friends will miss him
Diane, I extend my deepest condolences to you and your family.
Diane I am so very sorry for the lost of your son, he sounded like a remarkable person. God bless you.
Praying for all of you for your loss. Deeply saddened for all.
Jared was a kind, loving light in this world. My heart is broken that this wonderful teenager (our time with him) then gorgeous man is gone. Those who saw his sparkler young self and the lucky ones who knew Jared as the awesome man (he was bound to become) are suffering grief beyond comfort. Stunned by Jared’s passing and so very sad. This angry world has lost a needed, loving, beautiful soul. My heartfelt sympathy.
It was a joy to see two superlative people, Jared and Erik, in so loving and caring a relationship with each other. No two people could have been better suited for a lifetime together.
Gwen and I are sad to hear of Jared's passing. Please accept our heartfelt condolence.
We are all very sorry for your loss. Jared was a great kid in the neighborhood growing up in Pine Bluff. He was so responsible Ginny trusted him to drive Mary to the high school until she turned 16! We have good memories of Jared and are praying for all of his family during this difficult time.
Rick, I am so sorry for your loss! Ben Thomasson
I am devastated to learn of Jared’s passing. Diane, I so remember his being in 7th grade. He was remarkable intelligent, outgoing, and brilliantly funny. His class was one of my favorite groups. I ache for you and Eric. Platitudes aren’t helpful. Just know Smokey and I will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Heartbreaking to hear of the loss of Joe. Time and God's love will help to mend your broken hearts. Will miss "poking the bear" (bantering back and forth with our wits). He's not with us but definitely not forgotten.
Hi Joe was my friend so sorry to hear this devastating news ! So young. I met Joe at the Chinese village we have a few drinks together ! Well sometime more than a few !! You will be miss my friend. And we will see you again ! In Jesus Christ name. Amen.
Jim and I will miss that little sparkle in your eyes when we would cross paths! You were always fun to talk to and made us laugh: especially when there were "Farm Animals" near by! RIP,You will be dearly missed <3

I have been a friend of Sherrie’s since Josh was about 2 years old. She had an infectious laugh and we had fun talking “girl talk”.
I did not have the absolute pleasure of meeting Mrs. Woolf, but, by all accounts, she was as extraordinary as her daughter Nancy, who I adore. Many blessings to the family.
Rest in peace Jack .you worked so hard for so long what a nice man.
I went with Louise and Alan and Bob Tobias to Stephenson, Washington when they eloped. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.
My condolences to you Steve and to the Goldberg/Boise family. While my interactions with Linda and her family were sporadic, there were some mutual friends and acquaintances and events that kept me apprised of general life milestones over the past 30 years or so. I was glad to have known her. Linda was an intelligent, capable woman who cared about social justice and acted to promote it. She had a meaningful impact in the world in her personal circles and in her community arenas and I admired her greatly. May her memory be for a blessing.
I remember Mrs. Piro as the matriarch of Monroe High School during my four years there, from '73 through '77. Loving, kind, yet firm... and definitely no-nonsense. Typical Italian, like my own grandmother. She will be missed.
Steven, Opening the Oregonian this morning I was shocked to learn of Linda's passing. I am so sorry. I knew you long ago when you were a new attorney at Marion County Legal Aid--you were a fantastic advocate for the underdog. I knew Linda a little in her role with the Area Agency on Aging. I remember her well. My heartfelt condolences.
I will always be inspired by Linda's great leadership with health care advocacy with MACG (Metropolitan Alliance for the Common Good). Thank you, Linda.
Seeing Linda at Passover was always special. I also ran into her at the gym. She was always warm and our conversations were intimate. What a loss for all all knew her. also seeing her exercising at the gym
Pappy as we called him. Always wanted to tell each of us how good we where to him. He always had a warm and friendly smile. Except that one time when Bob Brockamp and I folded one of his boxes up. He will be missed by many and was loved by all.
We enjoyed being neighbors across the street. Tim and Lisa were first playmates. The household was a busy place.
Jack was one of a kind. He always had a big smile on his face and showed everyone what hard work means.
In memory of you papa say your name! Gone but never forgotten never forget how many times I put your keys in your boots to hear you yell my name at 2 in the morning
We celebrate the life of Kathy and am mourning her with you in this trying time. We had 40 years of fun together, she a wonderful caring lovely person and she will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Kathy. Love, Joe & Sue McIntyre
Our sincere sympathy to all the family. May you keep the memories of Kathy in your hearts forever. Love and prayers, Kathy and John
I am a Portland lawyer who first met Mike through his Dad Ted in 1978, when I was thinking of moving to Portland to start my career. Mike was a wonderful person, a terrific lawyer, and was always smiling. I will miss Mike, and I know that everyone who was fortunate to know him will share that loss. Condolences to his family.
Merrill, In searching our classmates for our Highland High school reunion, we just learned of Shauna's passing. Please accept out condolences and know that we are thinking of you and your family at this time.
Dear dear Rachel and Joshua, I knew and loved your mother and was shocked to see she died in 2013. There are so many marvelous experiences we shared beginning with our AFS staff years. And I knew and loved you father too. If you come to NY, you always have a bed in BRONXVILLE. Much love to all of you????????Dale (Miller Frehse)
Jenny, or Ginger as we knew her, would always welcome me into her and Ed's home on weekends while I was serving in the Navy in Florida. We shared a lot of fun times taking the boys to the beach and she always went out of her way to cook something special while I was there. I will never forget her giggle, she could make the sun come out on a cloudy day.
I remember Marlene as a very loving mother to Jeffrey and Traci and wife to Marv. She had a special personality that said she was glad to see you. I remember her having long conversations with my mother from times when she was very young and throughout much of Marlenes life. I also remember how happy she was to talk of the great relationship she had with her granddaughter. I am sure her friends are saddened by her passing. Cousin Bob and Jeanne
Jenny was such a sweet, funny and caring person. She loved Shahar and Dee (horses at Forward Stride’s barn). I remember watching Jenny leading Shahar into the barn one evening. He was so patient as she was walking a bit slow that day. She would talk to him while they were walking and he seemed to love the admiration. I will never forget Jenny. She holds a special place in my heart.
A Dear Friend "Ginger" was to us..We were very fortunate to have 2 wonderful sons each and always shared the joys of each as the boys were growing and nurturing throughout their school years..."RIP" dear Friend...
I was an attorney in Portland who had a couple of cases in which Mike had prior involvement. He was extremely helpful in helping me understand the nature of the issues he handled as it related to the matters on which I was working. He gave me his time and helped me obtain files to assist me with my understanding of the cases. He had a great attitude about helping me and gave his time willingly and pleasantly. I will always remember him for this. He was a great guy who helped me very much. There weren't too many other attorneys who would have gotten so personally involved with such a nice manner as he did when he helped me.
I never got to personally know “Ginger” but I can see her legacy in the two wonderful men she raised, her sons Brett & Bob. May the lord welcome his newest angel into heaven and bless her eternal soul.
Terrye was a strong wonderful woman that I had the pleasure to know for nearly thirty years. She will be missed.
I met Mike when we started law school together in 1977. I was anxious and knew no one in Eugene. From the first week I feel into a group with Mike and a few others and immedietaly felt at home. Mike became a close friend for the year I spent there (he continued, I did not), and we continued that friendship the next few years with golf and an occasional beer although not near as frequently as I would have wished. Quite simply Mike was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He smiled often and I never remember him saying a bad word about anyone. If he was ever in a bad mood I don't recall it. I left Oregon in 1997 and we did not connect often but he was remarkable in the true sense of that word and a very important person in my life. I give my thoughts and love to his family and friends. I met his father, mother and sisters at his parent's house in Portland and remember them fondly. They had much to be proud of in Mike. And while I only got to meet Keri and David and never met Ariele and Max I can only imagine what a treasure it must have been to have been able to spend so much of life with him. Time will replace the pain with the warm memories of family words will be inadequate to express. I am envious of the thie you shared and will miss my friend. Dan Bickmore
Frank and Lee were the dearest of friends to my parents. I cannot thank them enough for the love and support they showed my family over the years.
Sending love to all the Berne family at this very sad time. Frank will be missed by so many, but never forgotten
Keith and family, Im so sorry to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.. barb
I was very proud to continue the legacy of Semler Optical here in Eugene, OR. I purchased the Eugene office of Dr. Larry Semler in 2000, and always found him to be most supportive of my practice. He will be missed and remembered fondly.
We send our deepest sympathy to Maddy and family. Mike was a law student with me and he was very respected and admired for his intellect and passion. He also held a poker game on Friday nights for some of us to attend, unwind and learn. Thinking of you, Mary Quigley and Richard Kuhns
I am so sorry. A part of me has died...a long ago piece of history and family. I remember our correspondences in the 1960's and early 1970's...full of challenges and stories. I used to send him cookies in Vietnam!
We were very sorry to hear of Arne's passing. He and my father (Norman "Boony" Bergman) were close friends growing up and throughout their lives. Unfortunately, my father died in 1999. David Bergman
She was a grand lady that always had a smile and kind words. We will always have our memories of Aunt Nora. Donald & Ardith Nelson
To Joanne, girls and family, We will always treasure the gondola memories of John dancing at family weddings and Central Catholic Cruises, John loved nothing more than a great party spent with family and friends! John always had a smile.
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Terry, so I’m sad to learn of his passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Terry through Contra dancing here in Portland, OR. We always enjoyed dancing together and shared many interests including gardening, hiking, biking and our love of Mt. Hood. I always enjoyed his stories and zest for life. He will be greatly missed.
Marty was the real scungili. He was the don of Hawthorne in the late 90's and 2000s. We were close friends, and we visited him at his apartment often. "You gotta rob!" "Job, what job? where?" and "I like a little soup with my sandwich" were some of his best catch phrases. He actually gave me his little red car once, when I was down and out in Ptown because he had bought a new ride. Marty was a great man. His laugh will echo in mind forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with Jeanie and the family. Mel was such a wonderful and caring person who did so much for his family.
Good bye good friend
Condolences to Arthur emilie who I never met and Barbara we met when you got engaged. The news was a real shock . A true friend. I remember AZA and Roses
Dr. Semler was a wonderful doctor and friend to all of us at Pacific University. He will be missed dearly. I was grateful to know him. My condolences to his entire family. My best, Jenny Coyle, Dean
The Hanson family was your neighbor at Oatfield Road and Stonehill in Gladstone. I babysat for Lisa and Johnny a few times. My sisters Susan and Gayle may have also babysat. I think our youngest sister Nanci is the same age as Johnny. I'm sorry for your loss. I remember him as a kind gentleman.
Mom, I miss you every minute of every day. I just wanted you to know. Love you more than words could ever say.
So very sorry for your loss Don. Carole was one of the sweetest souls that I had the blessing to have known. She was always such a bright light not only in this world but my life and the lives she has touched during her time here on earth. She was a rare gem that I will treasure and cherish always. My heart is with you and the family during this difficult time. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
We were honored and blessed to have Carole under our care for the last two years. She was truly a blessing for our life and will be missed forever.
Thanking everyone for your love and support on this day when we honored mom. Your thoughts, prayers and presence were felt by all who loved her.
I will always fondly remember Mary. She was my cousin by marriage to my cousin, Jerry Greenberg, and my aunt by marriage to my Uncle Ben. Mary was one of the nicest and sweetest ladies I've ever known. She will be dearly missed. My condolences to my cousins Micki, Curt, Rob and Barry.
My deepest sympathy to all of you.
I took Phenomenology from Graham in the early 70's and later became his poet drinking friend. He never got over my paper on Yoko Ono to which he saw me coming @ Sak's Front Avenue w/ friends ..he threw his wine glass down and comically yelled Yoko Ono is not a phenomenonologist! I lived across the street from him in the early 90's, we read poetry together @ Elliot Bay bookshop and 23rd Avenue Books, but Powell's was too cool to let us read however Walt Curtis had us on his KBOO show. He was a great mentor and humble genius, we had a blast deconstructing a serious scrabble game one afternoon @ his block party with so much hilarity people asked if we were drunk or stoned...it was always with him-..filled with the spirit. We held a vigil the night Billy Rancher died at Good Sam, Graham was like that, I lost track of him except some e-mails, Matt Ecberg told me about his passing today April 7 ..Farewell to a King of Kindness. Lew Jones
Alex: Remembering you with love on your birthday. You have left us too soon.
Knowing you, Claudia, has made my life always inspired to do my best.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We surely will miss this sweet Christian lady.
i LOVE U AND MISS U SO MUCH NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF U , YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND U WERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU
I am so sorry for your loss ! She will be greatly missed ! Condolence!
still remember you as a very handsome young boy going up together. handsome and very blond hair. love
Glenn is one of my nephews. I got him a football shirt when I was at Cambtidge
Thank you for your park bench at GilbertHeights Park. It’s lovely
He was a best friend in 4th-6th grade til he moved from Brooklyn to VT – I mostly remember playing catch with him endlessly and talking baseball. Maybe spoke to him once or twice in the following year but not after that (pre-social media life). Was looking him up to see what he was up to 30+ years later...didn't imagine this. Wish I could have reconnected, from the little I can glean about him from this, seems like we would have gotten along. My best to all who knew him, and to Chris...who I called "Moon the slick dude" for some reason (We were in 6th grade)...sorry we never did get to hang again.
I flew with Terry to Holland,Michigan to look at a boat spent the day together awesome pilot.Did a fly over where I kept my boat. Great day finished off the day at my house eating my wife’s meatloaf for dinner he liked It.
Have many great memories of time spent with cousin Terry. Rest In Peace Cuz
my studio
Do not go gentle into that good night Rage,rage,against the dying of the light Good bye Terry
Please accept my condolences. Terry was an interesting man and always willing to listen. I enjoyed my trip out to see him in Oregon, he was a gracious host. Excellent pilot! Think about him and his mother when passing through Willow Springs.
Terry was a good friend. I enjoyed talking to him about all kinds of things. He will always be inspiration to me in many ways. I will miss him and have missed him. RIP
Terry and Dean, in a big way, started me on my Mazama journey. It was a snowshoeing / snow camp trip. After snowshoeing into our camp and setting up our tent, I walked over to a veiwpoint where Mt Hood was peaking through the clouds. Terry and Dean were standing there and pointed out the climbing route to me. They mentioned something about a cornice. I, timidly, as I knew I was in the presence of two master climbers, asked what a cornice was? They looked at each other and then me and told me I have to take Basic School. Dean got me through Basic and Terry got me up my first climb. What a laugh Terry had. What a look, with his perfect hair and tucked in wool shirts and felt hat. Thank you Terry for all the great great times, the great stories, the wisdom, the commraderie and adventures. You will always be on the trail and mountains with me. LOVE max
I hiked and rambled with Terry for many years. He is not forgotten and he will be missed.
So sad. Please accept my condolences. Terry was just such a constant presence for so long doing Street Rambles. I always got a kick out of him showing up in what looked like "street clothes"...but boy could he step out! He even offered to help my cousin Jim, who has some hiking challenges, climb a glaciated peak so he could be a Mazama. He was so happy to be a grandpa...wondered what gift to give Baby. I suggested an engraved baby cup...he went right out and got one!
Terry and I talked about his flying adventures on the rambles and discovered that he flew into my small town of Beatrice,NE. He really loved talking about flying and I was a grateful listener....we always smiled and nodded about the Beatrice landing zone.
Terry was an inspiration to do many climbers, hikers and ramblers (not to mention dancers). I loved hearing his amazing adventure stories and his feats of endurance. Xxoo
To the family and friends, I am very sorry to here of the lost of your loved one. In the Bible at 2Corinthians 1:3,4 it says: " Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." God comforts us by his word the Bible. In it he explains why we have sickness and death and how he will undue all the problems we see in the world today and bring our loved ones back to life. If you would like free Bible studies to bring you comfort, you may ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses to make arrangements.
I first met Arne in the late 70s when I purchased my first amazing watercolor from a gallery at the Sheritan Hotel, airport in Portland. I even had him paint a portrait for a gift to my folks, my mother loved his work too. She was a watercolor artist. I have many of Arne's early works and over the years he modified his style. I will forever remember his humor and warmth and a great community person. Arne has impacted the lives of so many through his work, and the kind of person he was, I really miss his presence in a room.
Matthew was very fortunate to have many people in his life who loved him so dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Leslie Laing
I knew Greg through his volunteer service with the Buckman Community Association and SE Uplift Neighborhood Coalition. I'll remember him as being a kind, decent person who valued his community and worked to build community. I have found memories of riding home with him on bikes following meetings. I also will miss seeing him walking his dog through the neighborhood. My thoughts are with Greg's family and friends.
Brett, you are the most confident person I have ever know. It has taken me a while to pin point what exactly defines you in my prosoective. But confidence is defiantly it. Everything you have done and achieved you did it knowing the end result. As a kid and still as an adult. I often find myself doing things and using the general knowledge you gave to me. I thank you often and will contenue to do so. You were a very positive part of my life. Still are and forever will be. Thank you Brett.
love you baby bro,wish we couldve seen each other more as adults.rest well.peace
Ann, so sorry to hear about Matthew. Know your family will be in my thoughts during this difficult time.
I was so sorry to read of the death of this young man. Whenever we lose a loved one in death, it is too soon, but when it happens to someone so young, it is particularly sad. As a mother and grandmother, my heart goes out to you. We've not met, but please accept my sincere condolences. Holly H. (Rev. 21:3, 4)
Ann, I am so sorry to hear about Matthew. I wish I had met him. Many of us at Education Northwest are thinking about you. Lovely photos of him. Love to your family.
Dear Don and Ann, We feel so lucky to have met and known Mathew. And we are so sad to know he is gone from us now. Mathew was inspiring to me and so many others that his life touched. He will be deeply missed. All our best to you both.
The kids, my mom, and I are so sorry to hear about the loss of sweet Matthew. We all have very fond memories of him. Prayers of peace and comfort to you and your family.
TiIt’s almost a month since we lost you! I think of you every day! I am lost! This is so hard for me!
Don and Ann, we are so very sorry for the loss of Matthew. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Christopher was my nephew. Unfortunately, we lost touch over the years, but I remember his love for "Star Wars" and baseball (he was of course a Yankees fan; I am Red Sox). He certainly had his father's intellect. I remember a very special day when Ted's and my father baptized him in the nursing home where our father spent his final years. I will of course pray for his soul and for the comfort of his mother Ronny and of those whose lives he touched.
I already posted this but I wanted to share it here too: I've been thinking a lot about my friend Greg. I have a million stories, most of which involve his amazing laugh, but one that illustrates what a standup guy he was is this. When I was trying to plan Graeme's 40th birthday party, I wanted to do a brew tour on a bus. Literally the last three days up to the party date, I kept calling the guy who I had booked to drive the bus, and he kept putting me off about where he would pick people up, what time, etc. Then, the night before the brew tour, he canceled!!! Greg offered, quite seriously, to rent a limo or a small bus and be the leader of his own brew tour. Because Graeme was on call and couldn't really drink that much anyway, we didn't go ahead with that idea – but the very idea that he was willing and happy to do such a thing for my man's birthday goes to show what a special friend he was. And holy shit, would that have been an amazing brew tour. Although I wonder if the beers would've been as fantastic as his homebrews. I will never forget you, Greg. Rest easy. We love you.
Rest in peace Reggie, you were a light in the world. Wish I'd let myself get to know you better. Much love.
I want to offer condolences to Tammy and her family and Tom's family and dear friends. Although I have know Tom for many years, I only saw him at family functions. It was only the past six months that we connected online and I got to know him better. He was an intelligent, kind and giving. He was adored by family and friends, I think a person his parents would be proud of. May he rest in peace.
Dr. Glick was one of my favorite professors at Temple University. I had him twice I believe at the suburban Ambler Campus in the early 1980s. He was always kind to me and always had time for conversation. I wish I had maintained contact through the years.
I am so sorry for your loss.........I worked with Tom a few years @ Sanderson Safety and had a great friendship away from the work place as well.......he was a great person.......so young & so sad
I miss you so much.
I miss you.
I worked with Tony @ Metro Metals for almost 9yrs. I got hired in order for him to retire in 2 years. He retired 10 years later. I will always remember him being my first real friend in Oregon. In 2008 Jerry Seinfeld was coming out here to do his stand up. I commented to Tony how I wanted to go but my wife would be out of town. Next thing I know he is on line buying 8 tickets for me him and all his kids. Him and Ava feel asleep during the show. He was also like a father figure to me and gave me advice about my two kids that I will always use. Words can not explain how badly Tony will be missed. I keep waiting for him to call me laughing and telling me we are even for the April fools joke I played on him back in 09. Love you Tony!!
Reggie,my son, the light of my life. I will always love you. I am so of the man I sent into the world. What a service we had for you. The love from your friends and family in Portland gave me so much comfort. There were stories and tears. You will be missed my beloved. I love you. Your mother always Roberta M. Fews
He will be missed by all who knew him. My profound condolences to his family.
Missing you- been 3 weeks
I won't be the first to say: Tony had a GREAT SMILE !!! I met Tony at St. Philip Neri when we were kids. I'm a couple years older, but he liked hanging out with the big kids. I would run into Tony at Metro Metals many years later, and reminisce about our " Good Old Days " playing sports at Abernathy and flirting with the pretty girls. Tony was always a HANDSOME Man and girls loved him, as I remember. Maybe that was the reason that I wanted to hang out with him. As many of you have already mentioned, this comes a sad shock. I wish that I would have spent more time with Tony when I had the opportunity. My last memory was of him at MM and we talked about going to a Ducks game with beer and Hot Dogs. I MISS YOU Tony. God Bless You My Friend.
You will be missed by all of us. You are in my thoughts and prayers along with your family members. I have many fond memories of you through the years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very sad and tragic loss. We pray that God will give you strength to get you through this difficult time and the memories of Tony bring you peace. Love Luisa & Robert Grassia & family
We will remember is him as a happy and kind man. We send our sincere condolences to his loved ones. He will be missed.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort and the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to ALWAYS hold in your hearts
Will miss him dearly. He had a special way about him that not many people have, and I am blessed to call him a friend
You were the most captivating person I met when I moved to Portland. It has been an honor to have your light glowing in this city, and the ones you leave behind will attempt to leave some of that light shining. You were adored more than you know. I will miss your keen insights and your immense talent and heart. Prayers and love to your family and all those dear to your heart.
Our prayers are with you in this difficult time. Love Uncle Dale & Diane.
We at Airport Cafe send our deep condolences to Tony's family and loved ones. He was a regular customer here and we have enjoyed his presence and his kindness over the years.
Almost a year ago at a time when I was very down and out, a friend of a friend took me up to the farm. That's when I met Tony and JoJo. We All got along like old friends from the start. Of course anyone would agree Tony's Awesome personality and caring manner made it hard to resist liking him . After some time Tony offered me a job and a place to live . His best friend JoJo and I are very close as we're Tony and I. He was a true Blessing to my life and I will forever remember how he saved me and helped me recouperate from living on the streets. And enabled me and encouraged me to keep pushing forward on this ride called life. He was one of the most gratious and Caring people I ever met. Tony I'm so sorry this happened but I'm pretty sure you kicked back smoking a cigar watching the "Ducks" play. I will miss you very much and Thank You for all you've done for me so "In your Memory" I planted a miniature Red Rose Bush in that beautiful Rose Garden that you loved so much. And I assure you I will forever be JoJos friend. She misses you. As the pile of your gloves by the front door every morning says. Or the tossing around of your shoes.We will miss you my friend. You were truly an Angel. Sleep Well! Ellen
May God hold you in His arms, you will be missed by many. Love and prayers for the entire family. May you Rest In Peace.

Jim was the coolest and best Father-in-law that I could ever ask for. I will always miss teasing him with my terrible, fake Italian accent...which was like fingernails on a chalkboard, to his ears. Love Zuma
Last year when I was. Completely down on my luck, when a friend of a friend brought me to the farm. I met Tony. We got along like great old friends from the moment we met primarily I'm sure due to Tony's Awesome personality. After some time and many meals together. He offered me a job and a place to live . Me and JoJo are great friends. And I no she's thinking of him by the. Tossed around pile of gloves by the door every morning . In this last year Tony and JoJo have come to mean alot to me. I'm sorry this happened and. As time goes by that healing will come And that we All forever Remember his wonderful smile and his truly Gratious nature . "I will forever Remember and miss you". Your Friend

Remember seeing Tony down @ Seal Rock when he would join us for delicious seafood he would cook at my family's house & the crazy firecrackers he would bring from WA. He was a favorite of my mom, Helen Conlon. My sister Dee-Dee would say Tony, mom's boyfriend. So sorry to hear of his passing.
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember that nice smile Tony always had.God has a smiling angel.
This is barely believable, that Tony would have died so young. Condolences to all his family, and assurance of prayers for his eternal life. We will celebrate Mass in remembrance of him here in Washington on Ash Wednesday. Requiescat in Pace.
We love and miss you! XO Love, Karen, Steve and Stephen
I miss and love you. I know you are enjoying your new home. Hopefully you have your tractor already! Tell Mom, Larry, Gwen, Dad, Clarissa, Grandma and Grandpa Sholaas and all hi. I am glad they are there to greet you. God bless you and all those in heaven. Love, Teresa
RIP my good friend. Dean
RIP my good friend.
I miss you already. There's a hole in my heart. Jim was our family glue and he was the BEST DAD EVER! People used to say that I " look like my Dad ".
Thanks for the laughs and
Reggie added such quality to my life: always kind words, always appreciation, always tried to make me laugh or make me dance (and succeeded). Our bond was tight, like that of brothers. I will miss him everyday, as I remember his shouts of "Hey Rick!" as he got my attention and would start to dance and spin around with that big, beautiful smile on his face, knowing how much I loved those moves of his. And no one has called me a "piece of trash" as often and as lovingly as he did. He was the perfect heel to have in my life. We operated on a strange level, indeed. No one will ever take his place. I'll never forget you, brother!
Whenever any of us feels alone, sad or is having a solo dance party in our apartments...his spirit will walk into the room and smile and say ‘I’m here’. To see this man smile was to witness a bouyant radiation and that is the bit I will lock safe in this box of memories. That damn smile and ‘how you doin?’
I will say I didn’t know him that well, but this man smiled and it radiated. It is apparent how bright by how many people, like me, were so affected by that bouyant light...that they want to at least say thank you to life for putting him in my path. I can say that his spirit seems like it will keep singing to all of us. When we are alone, when we have a solo dance party in our apartments or when we feel sad. He will be there dancing and singing and shadowing all of us.
It was a very sad day. My Blessings to the Family in their time of sorrow. Sue
Reggie, I met you back in 2003, which means I have known you over half the time I've lived in Portland. We bonded over a mutual love of Skinny Puppy. The one time I got to spin a night with you was a blast. My regret is there will be no more when there should have been many more nights of being your partner in making people dance. I'll miss randomly running into you around town and seeing your warm smile and usually getting a hug out of you. Enjoy exploring the universe since you are no longer an earth-bound spirit. Say "hi" to Jhonn Balance, Sleazy, the Duck, Bowie, Prince, and MJ when you find them. <3
Tony had the biggest heart of anyone I know. Love you Tony. Danny will show you the way.
Biggest heart of anyone a know. Love you Tony I will miss You! Danny will show you the way.
From the beginning I admired Reggie and wanted to be his friend since we first met, even from our first interactions which were as simple as him ringing up my lunch at Whole Foods when I worked nearby. Then when I started going to Lovecraft I immediately recognized his face. One night I saw him going around collecting empty glasses and returning them to the bar. I asked if he worked there, and he said "No, I'm just helping them out. They're my homies." This guy is solid! Soon I had more interactions with him while attending mutual friends' DJ events and we would gush with excitement over our share interests, like wrestling, horror movies, music, video games, and retro pop culture in general. When I was new to the community, I had a lot of social anxiety and difficulty making friends. Then Reggie, along with friends Aurora and Rick, took me in and made me feel welcome and at home. We would attend each others DJ nights and have a blast requesting and playing songs that would put us in our happy place and dance like the world was ours. We had just as much fun DJing together. We agreed that Return of the Living Dead had the perfect soundtrack, and I will always spin that record in his honor. Away from the dance floor we watched so many movies together that we loved. We motivated each other to write a screenplay together and our collaboration is still in progress. We would message and call each other very late at night with our new ideas. We had meetups with our laptops to write the story and exchange notes, often lasting hours, filled with laughter and excitement. We even compiled a list of songs for our soundtrack, filled with retro deep cuts. Another area where Reggie mesmerized us was his stage presence at many variety shows. He made me a part of a couple of his performances at a variety show hosted by his soon-to-be girlfriend and soulmate, Pamela. I was a henchman for his Joker monologue, and Pugsley Addams for his Gomez Addams as Prince performance. When we found time to talk about life and be real with each other, he would call me one of his best friends, and I reciprocated that right back. He knew I would listen to him, and he would listen to me. He would not allow me to doubt myself, and I will carry that part of our friendship with me forever. Hopefully I can give and share that part with my current and future friends and loved ones that I hold dear.
I'm struggling to find words right now. We had some amazing times, and i was hoping there would be more. But sometimes it snows in April. Rest easy, friend.
To Roberta and Family: May God give you peace and strength during this time. My heartfelt condolences and prayers are with you for the loss of your son and loved one. May the sweet memories of him comfort you.
We always ran into each other late at night on empty streets. You were one hell of a gentleman and I'll always admire your style and passionate approach to life. You were never meant for this world, anyway. The streets of heaven are enriched by your attendance.
All my prayers are with you at this time and I love you and all my best wishes are for and your f a milky for God to protect you thru this hard time
My Condolences to the family and to his best friend Josephine (Jo-Jo) I'm terribly sorry for your Loss. Tony will be Greatly Missed!
Roberta, I never met your son but I did know the love you shared for Reggie through your radiant smiles on your photos with him and your loving and proud words that he was your son and you both shared a special mother-son bond. Know that my heart bleeds for you. You will continually be in my prayers!
I am so sorry for your loss. Harold (Hal) and I worked together at Weisfield's Jewelers (Northgate) for many years.
You were always with a kind word and smile! Though I barely knew you, you slways took time to chat with me. I will miss your random kindness! God speed good soul!
I met you a few years ago at The Jack London, you busted a move on the dance floor like M.J. . Your kind heart and soul will be missed. My deepest sympathies and condolences .. MUCH LOVE
I remember meeting you at HIVE. You were very kind to my wife and I and even gave us a hug even though you didn’t know us. And then I had the pleasure of seeing you perform at Drag Dangerzone back in November of last year. Every time I talked to you, you were genuine, kind, and honest.My thoughts go to you, Pam, and your family. Have a safe journey to the other side.
We love you always and forever Reggie. Thank you for being such a wonderful, warm hearted, and eternally dear friend. The gifts you gave to the world are celebrated by all who are so blessed to have known you. We will forever hold you in our hearts, Eddie and Amber
You were my brother, my friend, my muse. A shining light and a fierce force of nature. We laughed and cried together, through the best and worst of life. You were an incredible performer and your level of talent was endless. You truly were one of a kind. Your sis misses you. May your fiery light shine brightly and illuminate for all time.
From the earth to heaven, Jesus welcomes you into his loving arms, as your memories will live on forever.
Butterflies don't know the color of their wings, but human eyes know how beautiful it is. Likewise, you don't know how good you are, but others can see that you, Reggie, are a Special, Once in a Lifetime Kind of Person who will be deeply missed by everyone that had the pleasure of feeling your warmth, love and generosity. Rest easy ole friend...love Rachel (Johnson) Schaer
So very sorry for the loss of your one and only beloved son, Reggie. You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
I have enjoyed the friendship working with Brett for the last 20 years. He was the internet guru who set up my first website and helped me improve it through the years He was always looking ahead for more technology and sharing it with his customers and friends. I enjoyed his interesting stories about maintaining his equipment, new software, and patrolling his neighbor hood. I will miss his positive communication and abundance of energy and information.

Dave and I delight to return to the ocean to say good bye to a dear friend. Casting our flowers upon the waves. " They say Flowers Are Gods thoughts in bloom"
My delightful friend Pat. We moved into the same apt. building at the same time. Our 1st meeting was on the bus to cannon Beach. A warm loving friend. Also a woman for social justice and speaking up about it. Very much like my own Mom. My good friend Dave who knew Pat. Today we have driven back to the ocean to sa
Pat was my mother- in-law and lately she’d started refering to me as her “dill” eg DIL or daughter-in-law. She thought this was quite clever on her part and snickered every time she said it. She was a wonderful cook and enjoyed reading about food as well: books on the history of salt, tea, coffee, etc. she made fabulous scones which were loved by all. We had lots of conversations in the years she lived with us about our respective childhoods, art projects, some of the books she was reading, family, etc. I thank you , Pat, for the wonderful woman who became my wife.
I will miss the sound of your voice letting me know that you love me. Your guidance through the last 7 years has been a blessing. Your art will remain in my heart and on my walls so I can see you everyday. Mahalo for giving me your heart. I will miss you very much. I love you Debbi
Miss your voice
Love you Sis Semper Fi
Love you so much.
Pat was like a mother to me. My best friend Debbie and I were inseparable and part of our day was spending it with her. She was always kind and loved to cook. She would always put you first in front of her and loved being around people. I can't thank her enough for accepting me and treating me as if I were hers too. We had so many good times. I will always love you dear and will miss you very much. You'll never leave my heart. Paul
I love you Gramma
Gramma I love you
I love you so much grandma.
Chris and Family: I left Oregon about 5 years ago for Silicon Valley. I lost touch with Portland and Oregon. I have recently returned to Wilsonville. I wang you to know that you and Michelle have a fond place in my heart. I also want you to know that if I can do anything for you please feel free to contact me. Maybe a quick Starbuck reunion. Both of you made such a great team. May GOD truly bless you and your family. Terry
Mom of Gail, you did a really good job of raising kids.
I counted CJ as one of my close friends on the Pemi staff during our years there together. I treasured his sense of humor; to this day I still read his Bean Soup account of a chaotic Mt. Cube trip in 1991. I have thought about him warmly through the years and am deeply grieved to hear of his passing. Thank you for your friendship, CJ, and may God bless and keep you.
We miss you mama, and we love you.
Dearest Mom, on what would have been your 91st birthday tomorrow (1/27/18), I want to honor your light. You are truly missed, my dearest mother, and thought of often with love and appreciation.
Chris, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Always I’ll have fond memories of Mrs. Z. She is in a class by herself and her family resonates such. My sincerest condolences to you. S.Newkirk~formerly Holman’s.
What an honor to have known Al. As the first and longest living Jewish residents of Hillsboro, Or, it was a privilege to have him as a part of the community. Al, was always inviting, sharing and caring for many, with a nice word to say to all - together with his wife Carol, may she live and be well. May his soul have an uprising.
Chris and family, my condolences for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
So very sad. Chris, and the Simone family, you are in our hearts.
Graham was my philosophy professor in the late 70s early 80s. His teaching style was creative and skillful. I admired him as a person, too. Kind and loving. He served on my Master's Thesis committee and provided useful, intelligent, supportive guidance. So sad to know he is no longer with us. Condolence to his family and loved ones. May he rest in eternal peace.
I owe a lot to Al. He was the professor who taught me how to exam patients, he gave me my first job, and he became a friend for the rest of my career in optometry. I loved his enthusiasm for his work. Each patient was treated as special and the only person who mattered, while he was with them. He taught me that I would give the best care for each patient, if I got to know them and cared for them. Never in a rush, the quality of his patient care was exceptional. I will miss Al, but the examples he gave me, I pass on to the students I continue to teach. I'm so sorry for his passing, but so thankful for what he left us.
I have such fond memories of Dr. Al Furie, a beloved professor. He inspired many many budding doctors with his command of and love for eye disease. This was long ago when the disease area was not the main focus of optometry. We all lovingly smiled when he repeatedly struggled with difficult pronunciation of "Retinoschisis" or when he hurriedly bustled down the corridor juggling multiple slide carousels, books, notebooks, and lecture notes, all needed for his lectures. Always a gentle kind and courteous professor. RIP, he will live on in the fond memories of many many eye docs.
Old neighbors
I am sorry of the loss of your father and husband. I met Al when I was a junior at the University of Oregon. On our first meeting, JoAnn had invited me to her family's house and I was struck by how kind, warm hearted and interesting Al was. I was so fortunate to know him and he was always a generous and wonderful man. The world is missing a bright star. With love, Sharon
So sorry for the loss of Al. I have so many wonderful memories of him. A warm, lovely man. I will always remember the wonderful fruits and vegetables that he brought every Rosh Hashanah! Love, Laurie
When someone you love becomes a memory, those memories become a blessing. I have 65 years of memories of my oldest big brother, and I have chosen to only remember the fun times. He called me "Fatty Ass", I called him "Fatty Nose". Those were the words he and I said to each other during his 1st phone call from the Naval Hospital in the Phillippines. He was hospitalized well over a year before he was stable to send stateside. He was very severally wounded in Nam within his first few months there. Paul had a strong core & personality, that and 1000's of prayers brought him through. When he walked into a room, he had a presence you could not help but notice, and when he hugged you, you felt safe and loved. I am blessed to call him "my brother". Love always to you Fatty Nose.
Dearest Carole...please accept our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of Al.
Living on the other coast from Chris and Michelle, we never had the opportunity to spend much quality time with Michelle. Having held Chris as a baby we know that Michelle had to be a very special person to capture his heart. And that she did!!! Having them visit the east coast several times over the years we did get to meet Michelle but it wasn’t until we made a trip to Portland and visited with them for four or five days, did we really get to know her. Michelle had a special way (as did Chris) to make us feel so very welcome and they spent the entire visit chauffeuring us all throughp the area. We had the opportunity to meet all their family and friends. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed.
Having known Michelle for over 30 years, she IS and always will be the kindest and most thoughtful person we have ever had the pleasure of knowing! Rest in Peace with our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ!
Lighting a candle so others can find their way out of the darkness. Gwynne will always be in our hearts.
I was a student at PSU in the late 1980's and 90's. I took every philosophy class that Professor Conroy offered. He was one of my favorite professors and I loved how organic his lectures were. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. All my best to his family and friends.
Sending love from your Army Family.
I am at a loss. I just read the news. Chris was one of my favorite Pemi pals. The summer of 1992 and 1994 were special events. The laughs we had those years as counselors. He had the best wit. And he helped me be a better coach. My heart is broken.
I knew Chris from visits to Pemi. He was younger then I am, but I thought he was a very nice person. I saw him pitch the Pemi Counselor's to victory, during a counselor baseball game vs. Mooseilauke in 1990. Years later Mooseilauke Counselors refused to play Pemi Counselor's in baseball. Because they didn't want to face Chris. I also remember two of his classmates from Brattleboro Vt. who works as cocktail waitresses in Harvard Square. They spoke highly of Chris, and they also knew Phil Bixby.
In loving memory, you will be dearly missed.
I met Paul at Hal's. We so we're neighbors. He was one of my favorite Portlander. Though I am across the country, I will be there in spirit. He will be forever missed. Untill we meet again my friend.
Patrick was my friend for nearly 50 years. Though time passed when we were apart, getting together was a validation of the strength of friendship as if no time was ever lost. A time ago I had been able to travel to Australia with him and met his parents, his brother and sister, and many of his admiring friends. He was a world-class athlete who was always humble about his accomplishments but was honored for them in Australia and England and probably wherever Rugby will be played. He was a fine caring teacher and he was good family man. He will always be one of my heroes. I will miss him very much but know his memory will last forever. To Deloris and Mandy and all the rest of his extended family I will send my sympathy but know he was a great man who had a long full and satisfying life. I know Patrick would not have asked for more.
Brett was an amazing character. No man could beat his wisdom nor his bark. He had enough strength to put an any wise guy back down in his seat without lifting a finger. I learned alot from this man in thw few year i knew him. My dad admired his friendship as if it were pure gold. He is gone way to soon. I love his wonderful family and know they are with him in spirit. Dear lord, im sure he will have a few up there pull his finger too. Love you brett im so sorry i didnt find out sooner.
How do I even begin, we were friends So many many years- it was very rare We didn't talk on the phone everyday- She was always there for me- as I was for her- we knew each other like a book- she was that rare friend one Is fortunate to have. Sharon, ill make that trip we planned to the beach and Georgia. I miss you so much already- My heart is broken- but I know you are no longer in pain and with our Saviour.
Mrs. Zack was my favorite teacher at Arlington Heights Elementary School in Los Angeles. She got me started playing music, and for this I will always be grateful to her. She took us every year to hear the L.A. Philharmonic, and instilled a love of music to all of her students.
Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and send you my sincere condolences. May you find comfort from God's word at Revelation 21:3,4 and John 5:28,29. Heartfelt prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I enjoyed seeing Jane interacting with other volunteers at the Library when our schedules overlapped. She clearly enjoyed herself. I was glad when I could give her a hug at the Annual Volunteer Recognition event. Her smile is in my memory. I am so sorry for your loss.
Jacy and I had the best relationship, I am a volunteer for Hospice. When I started taking care of Jacy, we became instant friends. Jacy became like a mom to me! She had told me I was her third daughter! I miss you so much Jacy! I will never forget your sweet face.
I'm so sorry for the loss of of your dear loved one. I know losing someone you love is very difficult to cope with. May you all continue to receive comfort from the "God of all comfort" during such a sad time ( 2 Corinthians 1:3,4).
Amazing man who I am fortunate to have met mamy times. He was an amazing athlete and very kind and friendly. So sorry for your loss and may he rest in peace.
We all miss you! ❤️
In memory of “The Best Father Ever”❤️ So many special memories! Thank you for being my special dad!! From your loving daughter, Mandy
Brett was a friend and kind man that I was thrilled to know for the last twenty years through his computer wisdom and help with my business. Thank you Brett. I will miss you.
Gwynne’s passion for Hillary was exciting. I had never seen nor imagined a childlike Gwynne. I saw that the day Gwynne competed to be a delegate to the DNC. Gwynne was determined, passionate, and thrilled to be part of what many of us wanted to be HISTORY. I will always remember Gwynne’s passion, commitment, and concern for others. Brave, confident, and loving. I cherish the memories I hold for how Gwynne made me feel like I was stronger in this world, I could do more. Blessings, Gwynne. You’ve inspired more than you know. Celebrate in gentle peace knowing you kicked it here on earth.
The best of him will always be with us.

We always enjoyed Marilyn's company on our day trips. She loved to get out and see the different sites Oregon has to offer, and she would never turn down a Spirit Mountain Casino trip! We will miss you Marilyn.
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the general autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush.i am the swift up lifting rush.of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine bright. Do Not stand at my grave and cry .i am not there I did not die.

Dr. Horenstein was our family physician. He became very close to our family. The Falangus family, Rulli family, Kondos family and Tiniakos family. Wonderful Dr.
My heart goes out to all who knew and loved Alex. I met him as a student in a class, and always looked forward to what he would add to our conversations--about American cultures and identities, each person's sense of who they are and how the world looks and its impacts and promises-- and had the real pleasure of talking with Alex about his own education, insights, and experience as he and I put an American Studies major together for him, looking forward to his BA, but really all the things he might say, make, and do just because they were worth attending to. I admired his effort and willingness to see how all he did, and all he thought, belonged together. He was a vivid, singular and inspiring person. I will miss him and wish him peace. --UW advisor and teacher, Frieda Knobloch
We had the Honor of having Walter in our program. He was talented in his art and We send light and comfort to all.
I'll always remember Alex, good and bad. He was a complicated person, but those are always the best kinds of people. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends
Alex lived his too-short life to the fullest! Deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers for strength and peace.
Words aren't enough, I am so sorry for your loss prayers to all.
My brother. As fierce as you are massive hearted and sweet. Rest in the light and love of every thing that is good in the universe. Your brilliant personality and spirit will Shower healing and light the mighty mighty forces of nature and strength Mary, Louis, and this family are. Evermore. Louis and Alex were with my daughter and I in several experiences over years that helped form who she is. And me. All of us.
What a huge dazzling funny shining light. Every time I was around you two, your love shimmered so bright. So much comfort to you Mary and Louis.
My condolences to all of Alex's family! We became friends in the 7th grade and were inseparable throughout middle school. It was alway Alex, Kenny, Kevin, and Chris. Over the years we have not kept in touch, but we were always friends and always will be! I'll see you up in heaven and we'll have a couple of beers! I'll miss you my friend!
We wanted to share our condolences with Carol’s family. It is never easy to have to say goodbye to a loved one. The pain of loss can be unbearable. Our Creator promises us that one day this pain will be just a memory. That beautiful promise can be found at Revelation 21:3,4. Our pain and suffering will be a thing of the past, and we can cry tears of joy as we welcome back the ones that we love so much. We hope you find comfort in those promises.
Its been a little over a year and Alexs birthday just passed, the past couple of years we would always do something the night of, after he was done with his family stuff and i was done with mine. This year was so different, it didnt feel right. I feel like life has been testing me so much lately but i know Alex is looking down on me and watching over and everyone he cared about so deeply. Ive been missing our deep talks, you randomly educating me about some kind of history, taking maggie on a walk, laurelhurst, everything. You never ever once stopped having my back and i cant thank you enough. I love you so much Alexander and i miss you. I know ill see you soon someday. I pray everyday for everyone struggling and your family dealing with the loss of you. I love you always
Frank touched many people in his years on Hawthorne Blvd, and I am proud to say I was one of them. Coached his son Danny in basketball. He will be missed by many people.
Chris was a wonderful guy, smart with a good sense of humor and great disposition. I played baseball with him for a couple of years in college, and remember one time when we had a late class and couldn't ride on the team bus, so instead Chris drove us to the game in his car. About midway there he noticed he was low on gas, and neither of us had any cash. We spent about 10 minutes going through the cushions in the car, turned up 77 cents, and were able to get enough gas to make it to the game. All done with a smile on his face and good humor. Happy to have had him as a friend, and I am so sorry to hear he has passed. He will be missed.
Geraldine Margaret Renstrom Wager is an alumna of Presentation High School, San Francisco, Class of 1955. The Sisters of the Presentation are praying for you, your family and friends during this difficult time. May God bless you with love, comfort and peace.
My heart aches for the Littell family to lose in death your precious loved one Boyd, way too soon. Words are so limited that can give comfort, so I would like to share with you beautiful scripture where our heavenly Father, Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Psalm 34:18 None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. Our savior, Jesus, promises us: John 6: 40; "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day". Jesus comforts us at: John 5: 28; "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..." John 11:23-25; "Jesus said to her: "I am the resurrection and the life." The one who exercises faith in me, even tho he dies, will come to life." I pray that Jesus's promise to reunite us with our loved ones on resurrection day will carry you through the difficult days ahead and gradually replace your tears of grief with tears of Joy as you reflect on your precious memories of happier times with Boyd. The family is in my prayers and I offer my heartfelt condolences.
Renee and Randy, I was just re-reading the gracious card you sent me in response to my sending you a card after Roger's death. Realized it has been just about a year. Ouch...still so much pain I am sure. You are in my thoughts and prayers. patty
Mom was a warrior, protector, teacher and loving mother. She taught me as a young child to be responsible and kind. She taught me work ethic, as she was a hard worker and provider. Mom taught me about loving God, as He is our ultimate protector. I was honored and privileged to have cared and provided for my mother for the past several years. She always had a smile on her face in spite of the daily pain she endured and never complained. I love you mama, you are my hero. Thank you for being my mom. Rest in Peace
I already miss you my good friend.
I have known Wilma for over 19 yrs. I worked with her at Berg Christian and she always stopped by the Reception Area to ask me how my husband & daughter were. We would talk about our families & she even came over to my house to give me plants. I will truly miss our times we shared talking. I love and Miss you my dear friend Wilma
BEAN FIELDS! That was the first thought that came to me as I began to reflect on memories with Mom. Each summer beginning at age 6 for me, after school let out for the summer mom would pack up us kids and head to the berry and bean fields to earn money for the new years school clothes. We camped in tents and later stayed in small cabins. Yup, up at 6am and worked until 6pm then Mom would somehow manage to cook up the best supper on a coleman gas cook stove, we still had some energy to play for and hour then would bath in a wash tub and head to bed. Life was simple and our family was happy...those were good days! Rest well Mom!
What a wonderful sweet women. Her smile would warm ones heart. She always made one feel that they were special to her. She will be remembered with the greatest respect. She had grace.
I am very thankful to have known and cared for Colleen. In my time spent with her, she taught me that life is too short to worry, do what makes you happy. She was a strong, loving, and positive woman whom I will miss dearly. She was such a delightful soul and will cherish the memories I have of her. May you Rest In Peace, sweet Colleen.
I am very thankful to have known Colleen. My time spent with her
I will always remember Colleen as a happy, giving, mother, who was caring, upbeat, & greeted everyone with a smile and positve sentiments. She was also a good friend to my mom. RIP Colleen, and God Bless the Borntrager Family!
Colleen was a lovely woman who bore her illness with grace. May she Rest In Peace, free from pain and suffering.
Colleen was my second mother. Her beautiful smile was contagious. She dealt with the terrible ravages of her painful RA with great strength she gained in her faith in God. We will miss her dearly.
So sorry to hear of Nick's passing. We were his neighbors for the last 30 years in SE Portland. I learned a lot about gardening by watching and talking to Nick each spring and summer. He grew heirloom tomatoes that were brought over from Italy by his grandparents; he carefully cultivated the seed each season. He had an amazing green thumb...his cucumbers were the best. Nick and Dorothy were wonderful neighbors to us; we greatly miss them both. Condolences to his family; we mourn with you.
I am so sorry to hear the sad news about my dear friend, Anese. We met Bernie and Anese at Bloom's Kosher Restaurant in London, on Dec. 21, 1980. We had teaching and Chicago in common, and were, instantly, friends. We even went to our first Gilbert and Sullivan production with the Kleins on Boxing Day--the D'oyle Carte production of The Sorcerer, at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. We became lifelong friends. I will always remember Anese as being warm, loving, and supportive, and I will miss my friend. Condolences to Bernie, Carol, and Scott. Thank you to Scott for all your help over the years. I know that Anese was happy and grateful to have you in her life. "Feel my arms encircling you in a big, squeezy hug."
Dearest nephew you had my heart the first time I saw you. You brought joy to this family. I wish we had more time. I love you and you will always be in my heart.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. May God's loving kindness bring comfort and strength to you during this very difficult time. Hosea 13:14
Michael, Peter and Betsy, my heartfelt condolences to you and your families. People in Madison that loved your mother were so sad to hear that she passed away. I put a vase of purple flowers at your family marker in forest hill cemetary. I lit a candle there too on friday morning and i will try to keep it lit this week. I have been flooded with wonderful memories of your dear mom and soon I will write them down and send them your way. We had lots of adventures together and I have been reflecting on those. Your mother meant a great deal to me. She had a profound influence over my life and the lives of many many others. I have turned to my piano to express my sadness and to honor your mother. Been playing a lot these past few days. For some reason I've been drawn to a sweet piano arrangement of Faure''s Pavanne (opus50). I'm not sure why. I think maybe because it sounds sweet and sad at the same time. With deep love to you three. May you find comfort in each other during this time of great sorrow. Love, Ann McDermott
I'm so mad at myself that I never got a picture with you. I miss your laugh and your beautiful smile. We had 1st period weight lifting together and you told me that I was beautiful. You are such a respectful person. I miss your big heart. I love you and miss you buddy.
Isaiah was a kind boy who cared deeply about his friends and classmates. A gentle soul. We had fun during our 4th Grade Oregon Trail overnight trip and many other times during the year. I especially remember how loving he was with his little sister, Karena, walking her home each day from school. Isaiah was a good man, gone too soon. Sending love and support, Isaiah's 4th Grade Teacher, Sue Riley
I remember Isaiah from Ventura Park Elementary. He was a compassionate, resilient kid who was such a positive influence on others, especially his sister. He will always be remembered and sorely missed. Peace to you, Isaiah.
You will be missed, but not forgotten. Always be a brother to me and I will see you on the other side.
Isaiah you were best friends with my son Anthony and you will be greatly missed. You were always a kind young man. You and Anthony were always playing outside spending the night at each other's houses. There were so many fun times you both shared. You will never ever be forgotten.
Isaiah I never met you, my daughter goes to OCHS when she told me about your passing my heart broke for your family.. May you rest in eternal peace and may the lords send your family strength and understanding in this difficult time. God Bless your soul.
Isaiah, I am so glad I got to meet your kind soul as a sophomore in my biology class. Your calm demeanor, secretly wanting to help others engage in material, and gentle smile were always welcoming. I miss our little catch-up chats we'd have in the hall as you passed by on your way to another class. I was glad that you were getting new feet in Oregon City, but missed seeing you around David Douglas. I'm so glad I got to be your teacher and had your kindness in my life. You are already so missed by so many. I hope you are at peace. ~Miss Barber
Sweet loving Isaiah, sweetheart you have no idea how many lives you have touched. Your kind, gentle, competitive soul will be with us forever. I know the Lord has wrapped his arms around you n welcomed you into the kingdom of heaven. By now Nanama n Aunt Annie n Mickey, and also grandma Myrna have wrapped there arms around you too! You leaving us here in the physical world seems so unfair. Just know that we ALL love you n miss you. Your in God's arms now sweetheart

I remember when you and I were video chatting and you were playing video games, you said you were hungry so you went to make a sandwich and you spilled the bread all over the floor . You were so embarrassed but it was so funny.
Isaiah , you were one of my closest friends and forever will be. You helped me through a ton and if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be where I am today. You made every one around you happy , and you brought so much joy into my life. I am so beyond shocked and upset that you aren’t with us anymore, but I know that where you are now, you’re spreading joy and smiles there. I love you and miss you so much you for sure won’t be forgotten
There are so many things that could be said, but, without being or say a cookie cutter comment, I just want to say that you were always thought of as a blessing to us all. I know God is right there to wrap HIS arms around you. You will ALWAYS be loved Isaiah.
Isaiah is a kind hearted young man, who has such a warmth in his soul that you could feel it whenever he walked into the room. He has a great sence of humor, as well as such a drive and passion for life. I know that Isaiah is still with everyone in spirit, that he will continue to live in our hearts; this isn't goodbye, it's only I'll see you later. My heart hurts for his family during this difficult time and my deepest condolences go out to everyone effected by this tragic loss.
Isaiah being my older brother he was super awesome and he was super loving and loyal super funny he had cheesy jokes and that is what i loved about my 17 year old bro and he was super goofy i miss you so much bro your safe now in heaven nothing will hurt you i love and miss you bro
Isiaha is someone who will never be forgotten, his personality was one in a billion. He is my star that I will look up to for the rest of my life. Isiaha you will be missed brother. I will see you on the other side with arms wide and plenty of love to give.
Dear Randy and Barry, Time certainly has a way of moving very fast . I am deeply sadden of the loss of both of your parents .Mom and I loved your family very very much from visiting to their great cooking and sharing all their yummy treats with us. Our greatest pleasure was living next door to you for many many years in Eastmoreland I shall always treasure our conversations playing ball visiting in the front room sharing a snack. Sitting outside on our patio and watching the stars just yakking about about our lives. My Mom is just turning 85 years old tomorrow and with your precious Dad at 100 years young it made me think and yes Mr. Lakefish I can do this too Bless you and Thank you for being our gracious, kind, friendly neighbor Mom and I love you very much .

Dad, Thank you for sharing your love, kindness, and compassion with us.
Used to sit outside the coffee shop on 45th and Belmont, me with my nose in a book and Marty asking "how long you been out". hehehe, I guess that's about all people do in prison is read, It was ok though, as we hit it off well enough. First time I was ever aware of meeting a POW from WWII or any war. I listened an respected his stories, but wouldn't want his nightmares. God Bless, Martino
Tried calling Lenny yesterday on Yom Kippur and was puzzled his number was disconnected. So, so sorry to hear of his passing. First met Lenny 49 years ago. We were roommates and friends at the UofO and stayed in touch through the years. Lenny visited with me in Tahoe a handful of times, we saw dozens of Duck games -- traveled together more than once. He was so loyal to Grand & Benedicts for over 30 years (maybe 40?). And they to him. Don't see that kind of relationship too often these days. So many great Lenny stories -- sorry none come to mind right now, though. Forgive me, it's very sad news. Condolences and blessings to Arthur, Emilie and Barbara -- and all who knew him. Too soon, Lenny, too soon. Lenny, say hi and thanks to your parents up there. (Still remember that Thanksgiving spent at their house, playin' football at the park w/ you and Arthur. (Still think it should have been "Balk's Bootery"! Say hi to mine, too. So glad we each got to meet the other's mother and father. RIP -- Lenny, you'll always be remembered. One of a kind.
LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MY FRIEND. SHE WAS MY STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES FRIEND. WE SPENT MANY AN HOUR LISTENING TO THE SYMPHONY, SHARED MORE MEALS THAN I CAN COUNT, COCKTAILS-SOMETIMES A LITTLE TOO MUCH AND SPENT EVERY BIRTHDAY TOGETHER FOR OVER A DECADE. SHE WAS GENEROUS WITH HER TIME, HER MONEY AND HER SPIRIT. DEB WAS THE OLDER SISTER I NEVER HAD. IF SOMEONE WAS IN NEED, SHE WOULD ALWAYS JUMP IN AND HELP. SPENT FAR TOO MANY HOURS TOGETHER IN DOCTOR'S OFFICES. PARKINSON'S, FOR HER, BEGAN IN HER LITTLE FINGER. THIS UGLY DISEASE SLOWLY SAPPED THE LIFE FROM THIS DYNAMIC, ENERGETIC BALL OF ENTHUSIASM. THEY SAY ALTZHEIMERS IS THE LONG GOODBYE, WELL SO IS PARKINSONS. DEB, YOU MEANT SO MUCH TO ME AND YOU WERE SUCH A SPECIAL PART OF MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS MISS MY MOST PRECIOUS FRIEND AND SISTER.
I first met Hans in 1975 when I had finally saved up enough money for a Hans Biglajzer Custom Made Saddle. He was a lovely man and I enjoyed each and every visit with him. That saddle served me well throughout the years. I recently donated it to Sound Equine Options to support their great cause. I am sure that someone else is now enjoying my saddle. Thank-you Hans!
It has been so many, many years ago. We lived in Clackamas Oregon about 1&1/2 miles from the Biglajzer home. We had three children, Matthew, Kaileen and Kathie at that time. We ate at their home and they ate at ours. We still have a funny story in our family. We were leaving their home after dinner. I invited Hans to come to our home the next Sabbath eve, My wife asked him what he would enjoy having for dinner. He smiled and thought, ... then replied, "Beef stroganoff!" My wife went through recipe books looking how to make it. It turned out - Wonderful ! As their family was leaving I told Hans how my wife had to 'look-up the recipe'. He replied, "I'd never had it before, but I'd heard of it, ... so that's what i said when she asked me. Hans was a Great conversationalist and his saddles were pure art. Appreciated reading his article in the old Plain Truth Magazine concerning his 'terrible experience' during World War 2. I look forward to speaking with him again, of course, after The Messiah - Returns to Rule ! May THE ETERNAL Give Great Comfort and Love to your family. Bless you this Yom Kippur & Tabernacles - Marita and Matthew Corey
Our deepest condolences for the family. Hans was a remarkable man of integrity who responded to hardships with a sense of humor. We held Hans in high regard and greatly appreciated him. Shama Israel...
May the fond memories of Margaret Ruth bring you comfort and ease your pain during this difficult time. Please take a moment to look back on all the good times you were able to share. May God's promise of a future resurrection, found at John 5:28 & 29, bring you peace and hope. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Julia-- our love to you and your sons. We are so glad to have met your dad and we know we will keep our relationship kindled. We send you much love and wish we were closer so we could be with you now. Love from cousins, Amy, Mark, Max and Emily Blanche
Ester, May you and your family find solace in the inspiring memories of the exemplary life that Fred lived. We are comforted in the knowledge that he lives in the hearts and minds of everyone that he met. God bless you and keep you and your family in this time of sorrow. May Fred enjoy his eternal rest and the rewards he has earned.
Remembering growing up together, riding the bus, and playing in the Mighty Tiger Band together. My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
I love you so much. So much more I wanted to share with you. Such a bright light in my life for such a short time. See you on the other side my dear friend.
Oh, Jen . . . Through sheer strength of spirit you kept picking yourself up and fighting the good fight. Your will to survive and do well makes your death especially sad and especially stunning. The world feels drained of a little color just now. Peace and light forever to you and prayers for Olivia at this awful time.
Jen...you made such a difference in this world, in so many lives. Know you did well and you will be greatly missed.
God bless this sweet woman who cared so much.
Jen i will miss your smiling face along with the honesty you share with many of us. Some of your story's really cracked me up. Glad we got to go camping with you this summer. You will be missed. Thursday's wont be the same. Love ya Nancy
Sending so much love to all of Jen's family and friends. While I only met Jen a handful of times I loved her sweet earnest spirit and her gentle kindness. Wishing you all comfort and peace.
Jen you will be so very missed. My Condolences to Everyone Affected by this Tragedy.
Words cant express the loss we feel in our hearts. May God grant you strength, courage and peace during this difficult time.
.May God's grace hold your beautiful soul with the gentleness you brought to your many friends and grateful Veterans. I will miss tour wonderful smile and selfless spirit. Love always my sweet friend, Rebecca K.
Jen was one of our shining stars! She will be missed so much by all of us.
Maury was a father to me, always gave me respect and love, Robert Powell
Fred was a jewel that I found upon my life's journey and I will from time to time hold that jewel up to the light and remember Fred. I find comfort in knowing that tonight's evening sky will be a little lighter now that Fred's star has been place among them. He was loved and he will be missed. Our hearts go out to Ester and his family. Art & Corrine Bush, Star, Idaho
Bea was such a great friend to me for 32 years. She helped me get through the sudden and unexpected loss of my Mother. This woman had a heart of gold and would lend advice if you asked. We had many fun and interesting days over my 10 years at Grantree Corporation. She taught me to make some merger most favorite candy recipes. Mothers Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas were such important celebrations to her. Her Son Ron and I got engaged in 2014, and was so looking forward to see him get married. I'm so sad that she won't physically be there, we know she'll watch from afar. Bea told me not to cry and I told her I wouldn't, and she already knew I was lying.. I laughed and said well maybe I would just cry for a week or so... She laughed and said not to complain about bags under my eyes from crying. She really helped Ron and I after nearly being killed by a drunk driver in 2015. Her words of encouragement and belief in God got Ron and I through the toughest of days. She told us to love each other stay strong and don't give up after she is leaves this world . Bea I miss you!
We will miss Fay in our Tai chi group. Her enthusiasm was a great asset. We so appreciated her enthusiastic spirit. What I remember most was her willingness to love those around her. She loved easily. I admire that and am inspired by it. I know friends and family have many positive memories and will feel her loss in many ways and on many levels. My heart goes out to you. I wish you all comfort as you deal with this transition.
Rest In Peace with Dad and Jake
Your love and beauty will be forever in our hearts. Thank you Manijeh for all you love and kids madness you brought to our family.
I love you. I miss you more and more everyday. I keep trying to find a reason to believe you're gone. But I can't. I still feel you here I still can hear your laugh. I miss you so much and I wish you were here. We always said to eachother.. "I don't know what I'd do without you" Well I'm now forced to be here without you. I hate it. I miss our little walks and our talks about how frozen soda turns into a science experiment. Our days at cathedral laying in the grass. The days when you would hold me while I cried. The days when me you Ginger and Kayla would do things we shouldn't. None of us will ever be the same. And I'm sitting here at work thinking about if maybe I did something different you'd still be here. I love you more than life it's self Donell Lee❤️
Lawrence, and Fay's family in Iran and the U.S. and Canada: I am heartbroken to hear of our dear friend and neighbor, Fay, passing on. She was always the liveliest one in our coffee sessions with the other women of our street; and very politically-minded. She was very aware of world politics especially in Iran (she preferred to call it Persia, and identify herself as Persian). We also spoke a lot about contemporary politics in the U.S. during our coffee sessions, of which we all had loud and definite opinions. We will miss Fay's voice to add to the fray, and her beautiful smile in the photos of her she emailed to us of various vacations with you. I am very sad and she will always remain in my heart as a special friend.
Larry and family, I am so sorry that we have lost our dear friend, Fay. We will miss her in our Tai Chi Class at the Hollywood Senior Center. I enjoyed talking and joking with her. Even though she had a great deal of pain, she enjoyed and benefitted from Tai Chi and being with others. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Susan
I am very sorry your loss.
My Beautiful Auntie Bea....I have such wonderful memories of you growing up and later in adult life. You never changed and had such a fabulous sense of humor. One of your hugs could last a lifetime....and I was lucky to have so many of them. I know one of your many "partners in crime" (Bea, my mom) was waiting in Heaven for you with open arms and you are enjoying each other's company again. My thoughts and prayers are with Don, Julie and Ron, and all of us who will miss you dearly. Many Hugs, Cindy Maack "Smith"
Dear Lawrence, I am so sorry for your loss of your wonderful wife. May you find warmth and comfort with family and friends. Take each day as it comes and reflect upon the Happy Memories you two shared. Love and Hugs, *Deb*
Even though not related . Bea will alwayes be My Cousin .we were raised together in the big town of Goble. Love always
Larry, I loved her like a sister! She had the most amazing soul and spirit. I think about you daily and can't imagine what you are going through. I love you so much. She will be remembered in everything that surrounds us!! Such an amazing amazing amazing woman! Love, Your little sister
Sue was a wonderful coworker and friend. She always did her best to give us the flex time we needed for unforeseen life issues at the phone compay.
Remembering the lovely visit and lunch with you and Ed back in October of 1999 at Carmine's on Beekman Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan with Chance and Lisa. We were so happy to finally meet our Srebnik cousins. Rest In Peace.
I didn't know Donell very well, but for the short time we were roommates at Job Corps he always had something upbeat and funny to say in the midst of the "newbies on campus" phase we all had to deal with. Sad to hear he's gone, best wishes to you all.
Sue was a wonderful supervisor and a nice person. I worked for her in the training center in the Lincoln building.
Susie: The year was 1967 I asked you out to my Senior Prom, and we continued to date for a while. You always had a sweet smile and great personality I always enjoyed chatting with your folks. We both had a connection with your cousins the O'Leary's, You are a great memory in my life, GOD be with you, you filled many hearts and I'm sure you touched many lives. Andy P Lushenko
I worked with Sue for many years. She was a good friend. Always caring and compassionate. My sympathy to Sue's family. She will be missed.
Jo, so sorry I didnt have another chance to visit, but I know you'll be waiting for me an give me a piece of you mine when I come up... We had a lovely visit.. RIP peace my friend
I worked with Sue at the phone company for many years. She was always pleasant and kind even when having to make tough decisions. I ran into her several times a couple of years ago in North Portland, we laughed and shared memories of times long ago. She'll be missed. My prayers and deepest sympathy to her family.
I worked with Sue at the phone company in tbe Customer Training Center. Her smile, laughter and joy could turn a hectic day into a great day. She will be missed! To her family, my deepest sympathies for your loss and please accept my thanks for sharing an Angel with us.
we met and spent time with Dale and Sue when Dale was working for Greenleaf flowers, spent many hours in there home, where we always felt like family, I think if you spent any time with Sue you felt like family. Loved her and she will be missed, every time we hop into the convertible and ride top down!
You will be missed by many, Jo...just as you were loved by many. The stars in the sky at night will be brighter now that your spirit graces the heavens...farewell Jo...you will always be in our hearts and our memories. God speed.
Fred was such a delightful man. Engaging, curious, focused, creative are words that come to mind as well as proud father and grandpa. Our family is blessed by the memories of many Thanksgivings spent with he and Esther in Portland. Shalom!
Jo, I will always remember her smile, laugh, and honesty. One time jo asked me how I was going to survive without knowing how to cook and shortly after she had her mind set with "needing" to teach me! We got in a few cooking lessons before her last days. She was able to impact my life positively in such a short amount of time and I will forever be touched. Thank you Jo ❤️
Sue was a wonderful caring person and will be missed by many.
I just remember Sue as my supervisor in the Customer Training Center.. Also as the one that 'let me go'.. I will always remember her voice.. how soothing it was no matter what she was talking about, it captivated me.. even when she let me go (which was actually a blessing in disguise). I will always look back at her with great fondness, and laugh at our topless stories that were only shared between the two of us! (since we both had convertibles!).. She was a beautiful woman.. RIP Sue.. My condolences to the family...
I will always remember Joanne's unique voice and her smiling eyes. She was kind, generous and very genuine. It was impossible to not get caught up in feeling good in her energy. I'm proud to have known her and am glad to have had her in our lives.
Oh "Doodle"....You asked me to promise you I would be with you "at the end". I told you I would. When we last spoke on Sunday, I told you to HANG ON...I will be there!!! I really believed I had time. Unfortunately time ran out, and I didn't get to keep that promise. I believe that all of us were shocked that you left us so fast. I want u to know that I really tried...and was in such a panic to be with you. I feel so bad and it is something I have to live with the rest of my life. My only consolation is that I was with you in May, and we had a wonderful time together. You were strong then.....and it never occurred to me that it would be the last time I saw you. I am so glad I was with you every time you went to the hospital for kidney dialysis ....meeting all those wonderful people that made you feel a part of that family. I know how much you cared for all of them, and how much they cared for you. Thank you for taking such good care of Jo.... We shared so many wonderful memories together.... and yes, bad ones too.....you were always pig headed and stubborn....lol.....but the good times sure made up for that. We went on so many road trips together, and I saw places I only dreamed of going. Our special place being New Orleans...I will always remember the laughter, sitting on "MY bench"....eating that greasy chicken and me always trying to make you laugh....wearing a boa, picking up beads on the street for you.....trying to stalk Fats Domino with "Walking to New Orleans" blaring from your car......(which embarrassed you, AND the more embarrassed you got, the longer I did it)....Memphis, Nashville, Florida, San Fran...going to Alcatraz wearing those funny hats...... North Dekota where we got caught in a snow storm in July...and I went into that store wearing a housecoat, trying to get THE HELL OUT of Texas.....BUT.... "mooning" you all over the States,,,,(especially in Nevada, had to be the funniest)....,Hey Doodle...expect it when you least expect it!!!!! Oh how you laughed!!!!!.So many places, so many memories. Just so many GOOD TIMES TOGETHER!!!!! Thank you Dory and Brenda for ALWAYS being there for Jo, I know how much it meant to her...Thank you to the care giver who was so amazing, and didn't get upset when I phoned so often. Thank you Marilyn for all those phone calls we shared...supporting each other.....Thank you Steph for keeping me informed. Doodle: I miss our nightly phone calls......I miss your voice, your laughter, I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU , and you will be in my heart forever. xo
Jo, we sure made many memories over 50+ years of friendship! You took me in as a young girl of 20 and made sure I was taken care of. You were always yourself - and never made excuses for you being you - an honorable way to live! May you Rest In Peace and meet up with some of your old friends. PMS
Yo mamma. I will miss you, especially on mothers day. This last year, I forgot and never made it up.. I am so sorry for that. I met Joanne when I started working in collections, at age 19... we did not make friends quickly.. but we bonded over a grudge with another employee. When she retired we made a habbit of going out to dinner at least once a month. We would be either at the Outback, or a Mexican food restaraunt. We made Thanksgiving a habbit, and then mothers day. When I went back to school, we lost touch a bit and I regret this. Joanne had a way with people. She was honest, opinionated and ... herself. She never let anything step in her way of what she wanted, she always found a way. She will be missed. Yo mamma, I love you and I will miss you. Until we see each other again.
What a wonderful, loving person. Best gnocchi ever. Fun times together in Honolulu and Lahaina. Memories never forgotten.
I remember as a kid riding in the back of Jack's blue pick-up truck (used for construction) for fun. Condolences to Glen, Jill and Diane.
Do you know Randy had a front row ticket to the Trailblazers for about 15 years. Feet on the wood floor! Directly across from the visiting team. Play (and players) in your lap. I got to use that seat many times over the years. He was recognized as the big boisterous guy by many top NBA players (including Kareem and Magic and many others when they came into town). He also was well known to the referees, and many times he was well received by the fans as he made his opinions known to all. (Once during a time-out, he stepped onto the floor and offered his eye-glasses to a ref. The crowd went wild. And for some reason, he was not ejected, as would normally be the case. I heard about it the next day from several who were there -- 'Did you see what your brother did at the game last night?!?') I'm Randy's younger brother, so I've known him my whole life - looked to him. We shared a room for several years. We did a lot together for over 6 decades. He visited us often. I miss him.
To Esther & Family, we send our prayers and thoughts to all of you. Fred was such an inspiration to us. He always was a positive influence and exemplified friendship to so many. I will always remember his warm smile and welcoming demeanor. I know he touched many in his journey.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Uncle Jim as one of the bright spots in our family gatherings. He was always kind and welcoming. I always appreciated him hanging out with us kids. He is loved and will be missed.
My forever friend, say hi to your folks for me. ♥
Those we love can never be more than a thought away for as long as there's a memory, they live in our hearts to stay.
well ill be 65 in nov. think of you everyday and how i inherited that damn depression from you thanks for the knowledge i didnt understand till now, you won daddy love you sharon 2017
Betty I am so sorry for your loss of your best friend, husband etc. You and Rennie were so great together. You were great friends to everyone we all knew. I remember when Miranda was a little girl and Rennie would hold her and carry her around and she looked at his hands and said "Uncle Rennie your hands are so clean" We all laughed because she didn't know the difference between you guys and us and never did in her life. I hope they are together in heaven. Even though we know they won't hurt anymore, we still cry because we miss seeing them and hearing their voices. Miranda had us laughing all the time so we miss her cry ways. When you get time and we are both home, give us a call. I love you and miss you so much. If you remember where we lived we don't live there anymore. Love you, The Schauer's
I'll miss uncle Jim so much. However you will be always live in my heart.
I met Jim at RiversWest Small Craft Center. I feel so fortunate to have spent time with Jim in projects we shared with RW. He was a delightful man, friendly, warm and enthusiastic. Jim, may you find a warm, gentle breeze as you sail on. You will always be remembered fondly. Sal

Offering sincere condolences, no doubt this is a difficult time for the family. May you put trust in the many promises our Heavenly Father says will soon come about and allow that wonderful hope to comfort you in the days ahead. (Isaiah 26:19; Ps. 37:29)
To family and friends, please except my condolences. The loss of someone dear to us can leave us devastated - asking why. The loss, whether unexpected or anticipated still has a heartbreaking affect on us. Comfort can be found in the inspired words found at Revelation 21:4. there we see how everything causing us anguish in our lives will be gone - including death. We also have the wonderful hope of seeing those we have lost by means of the resurrection hope given at John 5:28, 29. Please visit JW.ORG for more Bible based articles and videos that provide comfort, support, hope, and answers to sincere questions.
Maxine, thank you for your many many tears of happiness as our friendship grew. You have a special place in my heart be I know ou are with TONY, Jerry and George. I thank God for you and the memories you have left with me. Lena
So sorry for the lost of your son, brother, nephew, and cousin love you all, God forever bless you all.
So sorry may GOD bless you all, love ya!
So sorry love ya#

I am his brother and all 8 sisters brother. Friendship so deep..countless overnights, flashing lights and speaking on walkue talkies fro. Our windows 200 yards away. He blocked for me as a full back from 3rd grade to 8th leading me to a 26 touchdown season our final year. We share our blood as children like they did in Western movies, making a small cut and tying our wrists together. we slept 2 hours in our ski boots after skiing down the long carpeted stairs in his home on 17th & Knott before getting on a bust as Pounder Hounds in the late 70's. Countless more experienced. He visits me often...An angel watching over me each day as it will be until I join him..I can't express my sorrow nor grief, etc. I love you DTO
