Holiday spirit lights up town by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer A bit of rain and chilly temperatures did little to dampen spirits during last weekend’s Discovery Bay Parade of Lights festivities. Sponsored by the Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce, the annual event drew thousands of spectators and participants to the town’s most popular land-based event. Grand Marshal Virgil Koehne, Discovery Bay’s water and wastewater manager and former Citizen of the Year, led the eighth annual event. “The grand marshal role is the greatest honor our parade can bestow, and it’s always awarded to a Discovery Bay icon, someone who has contributed significantly to our community,” said Parade Director Amanda Dove. “Virgil is a former Citizen of the Year, is an extraordinary proponent of the Discovery Bay lifestyle and has always worked to improve our quality of life. Who is more deserving?”

LENNY BYER JAN. 5, 1933-DEC. 2, 2010

Na t

ion

Lenny Byer never met a cause he didn’t like or an effort he could resist, and this week a grateful and appreciative community gathered to pay final respects to the man who spent a lifetime supporting the communities and residents he loved. Oakley resident, Brentwood businessman and community volunteer Byer, 77, passed away Dec. 2 following a long battle with cancer. “Lenny was just such a great man and a huge part of the community,” said Tom Williams, general manager of the Ironhouse Sanitary District, for which Byer had served as president and board trustee starting in 1970. “I learned a lot from him. I’ll miss being able to call him up and bounce things off him. We’ll all miss him; we really will.” Born in Farmington, Ark. in 1933, Byer moved to Brentwood with his parents and five siblings in 1941. He met his future wife Joanne as a student at Liberty High School, where she spotted the handsome young Lenny in P.E. class. “I thought he was kind of cute, and I thought: I’ve got to date him,” said Joanne, a trustee of the Liberty Union High School District. The attrac-

tion was mutual and marked the beginning of a romance that spanned nearly 60 years. Lenny’s calm demeanor and easy-going nature seemed to complement Joanne’s admittedly different temperament. “He never really got angry, but I’m a little more vocal,” laughed Joanne. “But it’s hard to argue with someone who won’t argue back – that’s no fun. So our disagreements never lasted very long.” Following high school, Lenny served in the U.S. Army as a sergeant stationed in Salzburg, Austria. “If you had to serve, Salzburg wasn’t a bad place to be,” said Joanne. “It was sure better than Korea.” Upon Lenny’s return to the states, he and Joanne were married at the Brentwood Methodist Church in 1955 and settled in Oakley, where they raised their two daughters Jacquelen and Nancy. “Lenny was so good and kind to us; he spoiled me and the girls rotten,” said Joanne. “We were very lucky as a family. He was our rock.” As the successful and longtime owner of Byer Auto Body in Brentwood, Lenny was known

Violent month for Antioch’s thinning blue line by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer A recent rash of violent crime has hammered the short-staffed Antioch Police Department, and things may get worse before they get better. Last week, Eddie Lee Carr, 27, and Laqinda Q. Modique, 28 were taken into custody on suspicion of felony child endangerment with death and reckless storage of a firearm after their 4-year-old son shot and killed his 2-year-old brother. On Dec. 6, police responded to a carjacking on Bison Way that left a 40-year-old Oakland man suffering from a gunshot wound in his abdomen. That same day, a 22year-old man from Pittsburg was shot on the 2300 block of L Street. Police said neither injury was life threatening, and the investigation into both crimes is ongoing. Also on Dec. 6, a woman was stabbed to death on Delta Fair Boulevard after a dispute in a parking lot. Antioch resident Roy Crites, 56, was arrested on suspicion of committing the homicide. Then on Tuesday, Antioch police arrested Brentwood resident Lucio Rivera-Avila, 51, on suspicion of homicide after he confessed to hitting a woman with his Nissan Frontier pickup truck and dragging her to death in a parking lot on Cavallo Road. Lt. Leonard Orman said that Rivera-Avila, an El Salvador native, has been transported to Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez. “At this point, we’re in a position where how much our lack of staffing has affected this is a hard call,” Orman said during a Tuesday press conference. “We’re down 50 employees in this police department and clearly there’s some impact relative to proactive policing and crime prevention. We just can’t do some of the things we were able to do two years ago or two months ago.”

Antioch Police Lt. Leonard Orman speaks with the media Tuesday regarding the latest in a string of violent crimes to hit the city.

day that he hasn’t heard anything yet. The Antioch City Council meets Tuesday to continue exploring how to balance the budget. So far this year, Antioch has recorded at least 10 homicides. Orman said he’s not yet sure how the department would categorize the shooting of the 2-year-old boy. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Unfortunately, there’s a chance that the staff could be reduced even further. The Antioch City Council has authorized City Manager Jim Jakel to make $700,000 in budget cuts – roughly $500,000 of which will come from the workforce. Jakel was out of the office earlier this week, and his budgetary decisions have yet to be announced. Antioch Police Chief Jim Hyde said Mon-

Summersetters Feed the Children by Ray Carter Correspondent Last Tuesday, Dec. 7 – Pearl Harbor Day – all four of Brentwood’s Summerset subdivisions banded together in an effort to help feed needy area families. According to Filicitas Ochoa of Delta Community Services, Inc. (DCSI), the need is great. “We have a long list of children who need food right now,” she said. “And Summerset residents have gone all out to help us.” The indefatigable Gene Romer of Summerset I is the driving force behind the Feed the Children program she began three years ago. When Romer found out from Ochoa how many families were in dire straits, she began organizing an effort to meet the need. “We’ve been fortunate to receive lots of donations of food and money over the years,” she said. “But the problem is still growing with so many people out of work. In early November, we found the need had doubled.” Romer and helpers distributed 2,000 grocery bags, donated by local supermarkets, to scores of Summerset volunteers, asking them to fill the bags with non-perishable food, health and personal items. Hundreds of bags were collected, sorted and repacked at Summerset activity centers and forwarded to the DCSI office, where they were unloaded by volunteers and distributed to needy families. Cecelio and Yolanda Salazar and their six children were grateful to be on the receiving end of the effort. “My husband lost his job in construction and it has been very hard,” Yolanda said. “Getting this food is a big help to us right now.” Ochoa said monetary donations have been used to purchase food vouchers that supplement the food-filled grocery bags. Business sponsors include FoodMaxx, Raley’s, Safeway, WinCo, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Walmart, Kaiser, John Muir, Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy. Summerset Kare Bears, McDonald’s and Jean Bates & Associates are additional sponsors.

More than a half-dozen public agencies descended on Knightsen Saturday to help corral Na’au, a wayward sea lion that wandered into town more than a mile from the nearest Delta waterway. On Tuesday, the animal was euthanized after she was found to have suffered brain damage from exposure to a toxic algae.

Wayward sea lion euthanized A disoriented sea lion that wandered into Knightsen last weekend has been euthanized. The adult sea lion, known as Na’au, was put down at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito on Tuesday after officials discovered Na’au had suffered irreparable brain damage from eating fish contaminated by toxic algae

blooms in the waters. The disease is known to cause navigational problems and fatal seizures in animals. The California sea lion was a startling sight to Knightsen residents when it came walking up the center of Delta Road on Dec. 4, disoriented and more than a mile from the nearest waterway.

Fish mystery begs history

Parade to grace lake The third annual Discovery Bay Lake Parade is set for Willow Lake on Dec. 18. Boats will line up at 5:15 p.m. on Starboard and Drakes Court bay. The parade begins at 5:30. Residents are encouraged to support the tradition by decorating their boats (of any size), their backyards, and throwing a party. For more information, call Karl Ogden at karlogden@scbglobal.net.

For the December History Mystery, historian Carol Jensen is asking Press readers to help identify the man in this postcard from the 1950s. Jensen has no information other than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printed on the back, which reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mammoth bass are the rule at Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tract Lake at Bethel Island, Calif., where the seventh annual bass derby will be held from Sept. 1 to Dec. 5, 1954. This popular lake, three miles long and two miles wide, is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest striped bass lake. Excellent catches are also made of black bass, crappie, blue gills and catfish.â&#x20AC;? This postcard was never mailed, so the postcard image itself is a mystery. Jensen wants to know if anyone can identify the man and when and where the photo was taken. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also curious to know a little Delta trivia, such as what type of bass the man is holding and who holds the Delta record for largest bass caught. Franks Tract, which includes myriad sloughs, cuts, islands and river channels, is the largest lake in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Anglers have come to know this area as an ideal spot for yearround bass fishing. However, the largest bass on record caught in California was snagged by Hank Ferguson at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill Forebay in Merced County in 1992. The fish weighed 67 pounds, 8 ounces. Was the man on this postcard a record holder in his day? Anyone able to provide the most significant information about this card will win a one-year membership to the San Francisco Bay Area Postcard Club. E-mail Jensen at historian@byronhotsprings.com.

Gobbler Bob set to get basted For the second year in a row, Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor has donned a dandy turkey suit and made his way through town, gathering thousands in donations – at eight bucks a pop – in support of the Brentwood Community Chest (BRCC) Christmas Basket Program. This weekend, the mayor will be stepping up his turkey tricks by submitting to a “public basting” as a thank-you to the community’s generous donations this season. The flavorific event will be held Sunday, Dec. 12 at The Streets of Brentwood beginning at 2 p.m., and anyone with a hankering to baste the mayor is welcome. No word yet on how the basting will be carried out, but to date, $2,543 has been raised for the popular Christmas program. And while the dollar donations are piling up, the gifts – which are included for each child accompanied by the family’s box of food, a turkey, fresh vegetables and bread – are slowing down. According to Rick Lemyre, BRCC vice president, holiday barrels are set up at locations throughout Brentwood, Byron and Discovery Bay, but are only about half full. “We’re working with the Marines Toys For Tots, and they’ve been great partners, but they’re getting lots of requests too this year,” said Lemyre. “We’re hopeful we’ll be able to get most of what we need for our

Wells Fargo delivers The Brentwood Union School District got an early gift this holiday season when Ashoo Vaid, vice president and district manager of Wells Fargo, informed district Superintendent Merrill Grant that the Wells Fargo Foundation would be donating $10,000 to the district. “This couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Grant. “This money will be used to help fund some of the programs that have fallen by the wayside as a result of budget cuts.

This gift is greatly appreciated.” Nearly a dozen grants were distributed between districts in Contra Costa and Alameda counties. “The Wells Fargo Foundation is a big supporter of education and helping local schools thrive,” said Vaid. “With 10 schools in the Brentwood Union School District, we wish we could give more, but we hope this amount is helpful, and we look forward to helping other districts in the area in the future.”

Methodists ‘Go Tell It!’

Should You File for Bankruptcy? by Joan Grimes, Esq. A common question people ask me is whether they should file for bankruptcy. They don’t want to file, but they also know that they cannot continue with the status quo. Here is what I ask them: 1. Can you pay your bills as they come due and owing? 2. Can you pay off your credit card bills in full in the next 12 months? 3. If you own a house, do you have a fixed rate mortgage that you can payoff by the time you retire? Is your house worth what you owe against it? If you have answered “no” to any of these questions, you should be considering whether a fresh start through bankruptcy maybe the right decision for you. A fresh start has been provided to the Banks, the Investment Companies, and the Insurance Companies and a fresh start is available to consumers. Most home loan made between 2001-2007 could not be paid off on a person income. More than anyone, the banks knew that a person can only pay off in home loan debt of 2-21/2 times their gross household income in this lifetime and save for retirement and raise a child or two. A fresh start for a consumer is usually a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 is a straight bankruptcy also known as a liquidation case. In a Chapter 7 case, all assets and liabilities are included and the Chapter 7 Trustee will have the right to liquidate non-exempt assets for the benefit of creditors. In exchange for including all assets and liabilities, an individual’s promise to pay on most debts are forgiven through a discharge. In most cases, there are no assets available to creditors because all of the assets are exempt or encumbered by liens to the full extent of their value. Exempt assets that the Chapter 7 Trustee cannot reach include 401k, IRA, Annuity, retirement plan, equity in a car up to $3,525, most household goods and furnishing,

life insurance, most personal injury actions, and then $23,250 in other assets such as motorcycles, boats, RV or additional equity in cars or other items. Most people who are having problems paying their bills qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy either because their income is low or because their mortgage payments and other secured loans such as car loans are too high in relation to their income. However, a person should not delay in seeking legal advice. The loss of a home prior to a bankruptcy filing either through a short sale or foreclosure may make an individual’s income too high for a Chapter 7 and the only option will be Chapter 13 repayment plan which will last between 3-5 years. In addition, there may be personal liability and tax consequences which could have been eliminated in a bankruptcy. In conclusion, if you are having financial problems, seek legal counsel. You did not make this real estate and credit card meltdown. There are serious personal liability and tax consequence of a short sale and foreclosure. Make sure you understand your legal rights prior to undertaking either a short sale or allowing your property to be foreclosed. Do not lose sleep and your sanity worrying about financial problems.

Honoring veterans – and their wives by Lori Anzini Whenever Veteran’s Day comes around, my memories are more personal. Being a child of a career soldier, I was born in Fort Ord, Calif. Because of that advantage (or disadvantage) I have access to history and UEST memories that most regular COMMENT civilians don’t. My father – Carl E. Godsey, sergeant first class, U.S. Army – is no longer alive now, but I can proudly say that he was a 23-year career soldier in the army, and a veteran of World War II and the Korean War. Whenever these days come around, I always remember him in his olive green khakis and his authoritarian voice of a sergeant. I bring to you a different perspective, because I asked my mother about her memories as a military wife, and I’d like to share a few of them with you. As you will see, being a veteran of the war has its share of nostalgia, the truth, the honor, and the pride of fighting for the democracy that we so cherish. But like most career men, being a wife of a veteran has a different perspective. Being the wife of a career soldier had drawbacks and its benefits. Military came first; family came second. There would be long absences, times away from the family with the wife being the main support of the whole family and raising the children as the single parent. Very rarely did a wife have the support of a husband in the child-rearing of the family. Benefits: if you liked to travel and were adaptable to meeting people, this type of life was fine. If you weren’t social and didn’t like the travel, then life was of isolation. To pass this, most wives would be involved with post activities to keep the family busy during the husband’s career in the military.

My mother was no exception. In the back of most military wives’ minds was that their husbands could at any time be sent away to fight in the war. During my parents stay here at Pittsburg, there were tragedies that my father would relay to my mother: men would jump overboard and commit suicide because they might receive orders to go to Korea or they had just come back from the war. My father would have to participate in looking for the bodies. I was born right in the middle of the Korean War. My father was going to be embarked to war and our family was stationed here at Camp Stoneman for about seven months to wait for his papers. When we first came to Camp Stoneman, we lived in government quarters: barracks that had been turned into living quarters, with about three apartments in each building, single story. Ours had obviously been a medical exam ward, because on the floor in our dining room/ living room, going through the wall, were foot prints on the linoleum. Apparently these were steps that enlisted men used to follow through with the assembly-line medical exams ushering in hundreds of men at a time. A wife was able to stay home and be with the family and not have to go to work by moving to Columbia Park. By remaining at the government quarters, she would have to go to work. You see, the salary of an enlisted man was not enough to afford the government quarters, $160 per month, which was about the government allotment at the time for a family of four. So most families moved into Columbia Park in order to raise their families. Rent at Columbia Park was about $80 per month. That left $80 per month for food, utilities and necessities. The Korean War was at its peak. A ferry would transport the men to San Francisco for disembarking or embarking to military assignments. A

Good home for the holidays Editor: With the holiday season here, many of you will be considering giving a pet as a gift for a member of your family. Before making this decision, you should first carefully consider whether your family is prepared to make a long-term commitment.

troop ship in SF would transport up the river for this embarkation or debarkation, depending on the orders of the soldiers. There was quite a flow of men on a daily basis. My mother remembers that Pittsburg had a beautiful downtown with a JC Penney’s, and shopping was delightful. Antioch had nothing compared to Pittsburg. My parents would go up the river to the Riverview Lodge for dinner and it seemed like it was way out in the boonies. In order to honor our veterans, we need to realize that behind all efforts is a main line of support, and in times of war during those years, the wives were usually forgotten; left home to make sure the family unit stayed together and life went on as usual. I interviewed my mother in 1999 for this information and just found it in my files. When going through my interview with my mother, I also found the following poem, written by military wife Julie Doherty, which reflects the life of a veteran’s family: As I watch you packing, I am filled with grief. Letting you go is beyond my belief. There’s peace in our home, but not in the world. You are the white dove with your wings unfurled. You’ll stand at the borders thinking always of us. While you watch all the horror and all the fuss. But you’re doing your duty – you’re doing your best. Until I can hold you I know I won’t rest. I wish I could go there and stand beside you. I’d try to stop war and I’d try something new. For if I had my way, if I had my choice, I would fight for world peace using only my voice.

Monte Vista takes Liberty Frosh Shootout by Michael Dixon Correspondent

This weekend’s boys basketball Freshman Shootout at Liberty High was a success for the host school, which almost didn’t have an event to put on. Over the summer, freshman sports teams in the Liberty Union High School District were in danger of being completely cut. Fortunately, frosh sports were able to survive the budget cuts and teams from all over the Bay Area reaped the benefits at the recent Shootout. “It’s a great opportunity for the kids to step up and play kids from all over the East Bay,” said Lion head coach Howard Revel. Though Liberty held home-court advantage, the Monte Vista Mustangs took home the tournament title. After defeating Freedom in the first round, Monte Vista knocked out the Heritage Patriots in the semifinals and defeated the Dougherty Valley Wildcats in the finals. The Patriots, which beat Liberty 38-30 in the third-place game, finished at the top of the BVAL heap. They also beat the Granada Matadors in the opening game. “We rebounded, played good defense

made our free throws when we needed to,” said Patriot head coach Jeff Carter, who identified point guard Frank Kurtz, forward Cole Calegari and off guard Aaron Berry as standout players for the whole weekend. Calegari won the team’s Player of the Week award for his defensive prowess. Kurtz contributed 11 points and eight rebounds in the third-place game. The Lions won their opening match against the Livermore Cowboys but lost to runner-up Dougherty Valley in the second round before falling to Heritage in the thirdplace game. Notable performers for the Lions were point guard Justin Delgadillo, whom Revel singled out for his strong leadership skills. Revel also was impressed by the tenacious defense of Adrian Bonilla and the strong post presence of Miles Harris. After its opening round loss to Monte Vista, Freedom responded nicely with a 67-52 victory over Granada and a 57-36 domination of Washington to take first place in the consolation bracket and fifth overall. Center Stephen Roxas provided a spark for the Falcons in their consolation final, recording a double-double of 16 points and 12 boards. Also strong were forward Joe Mixon

and guard Nate Mallett, who notched 14 points in each of the Freedom victories. “After losing the first night to Monte Vista, we got back on track and played hard the next two games,” said Falcon head coach Michael Pineda. “Monte Vista outhustled us and played great defense. We rebounded the next day, played with great intensity and finished out the tournament strong.” While varsity sports grab most of the attention, the freshman games provide fans with an opportunity to see not only good basketball, but the athletes that will grace their courts for the next four years. More important than any wins and losses, however, was the fact that the tournament took place at all. Over the summer, local merchants came together and raised the $48,000 necessary to save the freshman sports programs. “It’s fantastic how the communities pulled together to get out and do the fundraising they did,” said Pineda, echoing the thoughts of Revel and Carter. “I think athletics is huge, especially at the high school level. It gives the kids something to do after school, and a lot of people really stepped up.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Heritage freshman basketball player Jan Robles goes for a layup against a Granada defender.

First-year Pittsburg head coach Tony Darone is hoping to bring more excitement to the Pirate wrestling program. Darone, a Liberty alumnus who played for Chappel, likes how things are going so far. More mat experience could make 215-pound junior

Dhari Webster a factor, said Darone, who added that returning seniors such as Sergio Cruz (145), Caesar Garcia (heavyweight), Naemon Taylor (150), Victor Tiscareno (135) and Sadig Mir (215) could help the team move up in the BVAL standings.

“All five of these guys are early to practice and last to leave – that’s five hardworking kids right there,” Darone said. “If they continue with their work habits, I expect great things.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

JV Falcons fly high by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer The Freedom boys junior varsity basketball team’s hard-fought 55-51 home-court victory over rival Liberty earned it the championship in last weekend’s James Chandler Classic. Falcon head coach Francisco Zelaya said the team didn’t play its best game, but performed well enough to come out with a win – and a 5-0 record. Sophomore guard Nico Bonagap led the Falcons in scoring with 15 points, all on threepointers. Zelaya also pointed to sophomore forward Jordan Morgan’s rebounding and hustle as a dynamic force in the game. “We’re able to learn a lot from that game and make adjustments,” Zelaya said. “We can’t be overconfident. We have to be humble, play hard, take every team seriously and not lightly.” On the Lions’ side of the ledger, sophomore guard Dre Green led his team in scoring with 14. Though Liberty lost in the championship round, head coach Dago Oseguera felt his team came together well. “We’re just preparing for league right now, and I think we have a good core of players,” Oseguera said. The Lions bounced back from the loss to Freedom and beat Concord 58-46 on Tuesday night, improving the team’s record to 3-2. The Chandler Classic championship game was a departure from the high scoring form Freedom showed off earlier in the tournament. In the opening round, the Falcons obliterated Tennyson 88-34. Sophomore guard Sam Dide contributed a team-high 19 points and teammate John Burks ran the point guard position well, earning plenty of tunovers. Before the title game, Freedom toppled St. Joseph 83-60, led by Burks’ 18 points. Sophomore center Darrell Daniels, who didn’t play basketball last year, netted 17 points in limited action.

Youth localizes Wreaths Across America by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

On Dec. 11 at 9 a.m., volunteers across the nation will place more than 100,000 holiday wreaths on the graves of veterans in honor of their service. But for Antioch resident Alex Broom, 14, who will be participating in the ceremony for the first time, the honor is all his. “The main goal is to place wreaths on headstones to help remember that each one of these veterans died for our country,” said Alex. “It is important to know that we are able to have our freedom because of them. It’s an important project.” The project is Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit organization formed in 2007 as an extension of the Arlington Wreath project. The Arlington event, begun in 1992 by wreath company owner Morrill Worcester of Maine, who placed 5,000 holiday wreaths that year on the tombstones of veterans in Arlington National Cemetery. Since then, the effort has grown to include the Wreaths Across America effort, held on the second Saturday of December. This weekend, Alex, who is a member of a local teen Civil Air Patrol squadron,

He was always fair and friendly, and I couldn’t really say that about other body shops in the area. He was a great guy; he will be greatly missed.”

in conjunction with the Wreaths program, will help lay wreaths at the San Francisco National Cemetery in The Presidio. As part of the project, Alex and his squadALEX BROOM ron spent months soliciting local businesses, organizations and groups for donations. Fifteen dollars pays for one wreath, and this year Alex’s squadron raised more than $1,500 in sponsorships. “This is the first time we’ve participated,” said Lynn Jorgensen Broom, Alex’s mom. “My husband, who is a Coast Guard auxilerist, will also be there representing the Merchant Mariners and placing a wreath. It’s going to be a family event. We’re very excited.” The mission of Wreaths Across America is to “Remember, Honor and Teach.” The effort to remember each fallen serviceman remains the focal point of the project. Today

nearly 500 locations nationwide participate in the event. Worcester, whose family donates to Arlington every year, described his motivation behind the event. “I was 21 years old when I started Worcester Wreath,” he said in a recent press release. “That is the same average age as the soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit and defense of the freedoms we enjoy today. The way I see it, they gave me the opportunity to develop and enjoy my business; to raise my family. If our efforts increase awareness of their sacrifices and those of the families who will be without loved ones on these holidays, it is the least I can do. I only wish I could decorate each grave.”

For Alex, the Wreaths Across America project has been a personal as well as a group experience. “I have gained experience from getting the Wreaths Across America sponsorships and my public speaking skills that will benefit me forever in the future,” said Alex. “But it’s also been amazing to see the gratitude from the people I’ve talked to that someone my age would spend so much time on a veterans project such as this. It’s been great.” Saturday’s event, which begins at 9 a.m., is open to the public. For information on the Wreaths Across America Project, go to www. wreathsacrossamerica.org.

Lenny was also a member of the Brentwood Rotary, Masonic Lodge, the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council and the Oakley-Knightsen Fire Department. In 1991 he was named Oakley Citizen of the Year, and in 2008 had the underpass on Main Street across from Rose Avenue named in his honor. Lenny’s lifelong commitment to serving the community, however, didn’t always come easily. “Lenny was a fireman for many, many years, and often when he went out to help with a fire or an accident it would be someone

he knew. That was sometimes difficult,” said Joanne. “But he was very community minded and felt like it was his duty to help people – he really did.” But according to those who knew Lenny best, his thoughts were first and foremost for his family. “Lenny was one of a kind,” said Joanne. “He was a wonderful husband and father and we had a lot of fun times, a lot of good times. It’s been a wonderful marriage. We did everything we wanted to do. I’m very proud of him and I’m proud to have been his

wife.” Services were held this week at the Golden Hills Community Church in Brentwood. Lenny is survived by Joanne; his daughters, Jacquelen and Nancy; and grandchildren, Jennifer Cardinally Mortensen, Jeffrey Wilhite and William Hauan.
