Hello everyone,
Many of you already know, but some of you might not have heard yet. My father, Tom, suffered a massive heart attack Wednesday night around 6 PM, and although my Mom Nancy and the paramedics and doctors and nurses did all that was possible, Tom died shortly thereafter. I have listed below the times and locations of the visitation and the funeral.

On behalf of my mother, Nancy, and our whole family, and with so much gratitude for the outpouring of love and support,

Tim

RICHARD DATKO JOINS SOME OF HIS CLASSMATES-

Tom, please let the members of the Class of 1950 know that Richard Datko passed away March 31, 2006.
Massive coronary just as he'd finished exercising in the afternoon. No pain, no hospital, no broken body.
He was 73 and certainly lived life to the fullest and for many more years than he'd expected to live.

Some may remember that he rode one of his motorcycles from Utah to the 50th reunion. And he went to the All-Class reunion last year, also on a motorcycle.

Richard is also survived by two children; James lives in Ogden, UT and Katie in Los Angeles. He was a professor of Mathematics at Georgetown University. He retired in 1996 and, as our son said in the eulogy, he 'lived to ride' one of his motorcycles.

Mass of Christian burial was held at Shrine of St Jude, Rockville, Md Wednesday April 5, 2006. Should anyone wish to make a memorial contribution, I suggest the Mt Carmel Foundation.

Anne Datko

• Sorry to report that John "Jack" Preston passed away in 1990. He was living in Monument, Colorado. He suffered from non-Hodgins disease for about 12 years. His sister in law called from Northern California with this information this morning. She called as a result of the reunion story in The Crusader which was received by her husband Warren Davies, MC '53. May God rest Jack's soul. Tom

  John Joseph MANCINO
  
  

  MANCINO, John Joseph Age 77, of Huntington Beach, CA passed away July 7, 2010.
  John was born in Los Angeles, CA on November 30, 1932. He graduated from Mount Carmel High School where he was a multi-sport letterman, was the L.A. City Player of the Year in 1949 for Basketball and is a member of the Helms Hall of Fame. Those basketball skills earned him a scholarship to Santa Clara University. He transferred to Loyola University in Westchester after one year where he studied Accounting.
  Upon completing his education, John became a Public Accountant working for Arthur Andersen & Co. He spent the majority of his professional life operating his own accounting practice never completely retiring. Sports played a big role in John's life...from his playing days to coaching his children, particularly in baseball, to rooting for his Angels, Dodgers and Lakers. Aside from his deep faith in Our Lord, the greatest love of his life was the time he spent with his family whom he treasured with all his heart. John is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Marelyn, and sons John Dennis, Steve, Jeff, David and Mark, daughters Nancy and Gina, 18 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren as well as sister, Mary Virginia.

  Jim Giles, Class President 1949-1950

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  James Charles Giles, MD, retired orthopedic surgeon, passed away on Tuesday, November 23, after a lengthy illness. He was 78. Jim practiced medicine in Oxnard for over 40 years and was loved by all who knew him - especially his patients. Born in Inglewood, on September 26, 1932, Jim graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 1953, from Marquette Medical School in 1957, and completed his Orthopedic Residency at Johns Hopkins University in 1965. In between medical school and his residency he served as a General Medical Officer in the US Air Force stationed at Ladd Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. In 1965 he moved his family to Oxnard, where he practiced medicine for the next 40 years. Jim served as Chief of Surgery at St. John's Hospital from 1977-78, Director of Rehab Services from 1978-80, Medical Director Spina Bifida Clinic of Ventura County from 1975-90, and Attending Physician, CCS Ventura Cerebral Palsy Clinic from 1967-00.
  Jim played football all through college and medical school and it was during his time in Wisconsin that he became a life-long Green Bay Packers fan. He was such a fan of football that during the 1970's he served as Team Doctor for the Santa Clara High School football team. He was a member of the International People to People Pain Management Delegation that went to Australia in 1983, Yugoslavia in 1984, and Moscow in 1985. He made medical history when he performed knee surgery on Olympic Shot Putter Dave Laut, reattaching the tendons in both knees in one surgery.
  As a doctor, Jim did not believe that surgery was always the answer and he took great pride in making physical therapy and rehabilitation an important part of treatment. He spent his last days on the "4th floor" in the Rehabilitation Unit at St. John's Hospital - a unit that he helped develop when the hospital was still located on F Street.
  Jim was preceded in death by his first wife, Jacqueline, and his parents, James and Reva. He is survived by his brother Roger, wife Kathy, children Michael (Mary), Leanne Colvin (Scott), Christopher (Ruth), Matthew (Heide), Colleen, his step-children, Greg Johnson and Gigi Wilson (Kevin), and his grandchildren - Sarah Colvin, Daniel Colvin, Jamison Giles, Laken Giles, Merrick Giles, Madison Wilson. As the best father, grandfather, husband, and stepfather he will be forever loved and missed.

  A memorial service is planned for Sunday, December 5, at 3:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 850 Ivywood Drive in Oxnard.
  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make donations to the Amyloidosis Foundation, 7151 N. Main St., Suite 2, Clarkston, MI 48346

My brother, Paul Gussenhoven, died 5 January 2000 in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Paul graduated from Mount Carmel in 1951. He had cancer in his throat and bottom of his mouth. Operations seemed to have been successful but after the doctors inserted a feeding tube he lost all interest in living. He died of pneumonia with his family around him. His career in the grocery business spanned about 45 years in southern and northern California. He had a very nice retirement but his illness kept him from getting the full benefit. We were all sorry to see him go. Mass and burial service took place at the San Luis Rey Mission Church and he was buried in the Mission San Luis Rey cemetery alongside his sister, Loretta.

Donald Alexander Pinard

---

Life ended as the new year began for Donald Alexander Pinard, 69, a forty-nine year resident of the Victor Valley. His neighbor and friend, Angie McNeeley, found the retired Kaiser Permanente executive in his Lucerne Valley residence last Saturday, New Year's Day, apparently never waking from his last New Years Eve sleep.

Pinard moved to Lucerne Valley at the conclusion of his service in the U. S. Army which included a tour of duty in Korea at the end of the Korean War. His parents, Clifford D. and Florence Pinard, had moved to the valley in 1956, purchasing the Valley View Ranch on Christiansen Road. He was born in Los Angeles, California, July 27, 1935. Other than a few years during World War II when the family resided in Arlington, Virginia, he lived in Hawthorne, California, where he attended St. Joseph's School, then graduating from Mt. Carmel High School Los Angeles in 1953.

Pinard hired on at the new Cushenbury cement operation of Kaiser Permanente, in the winter of 1956. Working in a variety of jobs in the early years of the giant cement operation, Pinard settled into the purchasing department and evidentially worked his way up to be in charge of purchasing. By the late 1970's, Pinard left the Cushenbury operation and took specialized assignments with Permanente, first in San Jose and then at mining operations in Indonesia. He retired in 1979. Pinard then established himself as a consultant and completed assignments with international cement companies in Freeport, Bahamas, Africa, and San Antonio, Texas through the mid 1980s.

Married in 1957 to Karen Lee Klosman (now Hilker of Oceanside), whose parents Jay and Gertrude operated the Hitching Post Restaurant, Don would often assist in the family business. They had two daughters. The first, Jana, died in a traffic mishap in 1982. Her son Joshua Gallagher lives in New York. Their second daughter is Julie Pinard Verhagen, grandchildren are Destiny Carroll, John Jay Verhagen, Cheyne Verhagen, Tiana Verhagen, Julian Pinard, and one great grandson. Rylin Carroll. All are in San Clemente.

Following a divorce, Pinard married Sheila Candow in 1987. She resides with the couple's son Donald Alec Pinard, 17, in Ajax, Ontario, Canada.

Four brothers survive, John W. “Jack” Pinard of Port Hueneme, Thomas C. Pinard of Wrightwood, Richard "Louie". Pinard of Rosarito Beach, Mexico and James K. Pinard of Templeton, California. A sister, Pamela Marie Turner, and brother, Clifford Pinard, proceeded Don in death.

Memorial services will be at Saint Paul's Catholic Church on Thursday, Jan 13, 2005. Inurnment will follow at Lucerne Valley Cemetery. Dudley Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.
