RAMSEY, Betty Jean Callender Ramsey (Abstracted from information provided by Lana Hoing Kiser, a friend of Elmer’s at Elmer’s Genealogy Corner) Betty Jean Callender Ramsey, 71, was born on December 27, 1941, in Madisonville, TX, to Laverne and Marguerite Callender and entered into the presence of her heavenly Father on the morning of June 29, 2013, following a lengthy struggle to recover from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Betty Jean was raised in Troup, TX, and graduated from Troup High School in 1960. Following in her mother’s footsteps, she attended Tyler Junior College and Sam Houston State University where she graduated with a teaching degree in 1964. While at Sam Houston, she met and married Carrel O. Ramsey of Palacios, TX. Following college, Betty Jean and Carrel made their home in Palacios where they have lived, raised their family and been an active part of First Baptist Church and the community for many years. Betty Jean lived her life with three priorities: God, family, service to others. She became a born-again Christian as a child and she lived her life in a way that she not only said she was a Christian; she showed that to all who knew her. She had a servant’s heart and was always willing to help anyone with anything, anytime of the day or night. She raised her family in a Godly home and was a constant support for her children. In her 44 years as an educator, her students also reaped the benefits of learning about God’s love through a Christian teacher who was an example for them to follow. One of the things Betty Jean was most proud of was her four grandchildren. She was their biggest cheerleader in whatever they were participating in and often traveled between Katy, College Station or wherever they were participating in events just to be with them and support them. She was a familiar face to her grandchildren’s friends, many of who referred to her as “Grandma” as well. Survivors include her husband of 47 years, Carrel O. Ramsey; daughters, Shongh (Steven) Smith of Katy and Latrichia (Richard) Thomas of College Station. She will greatly be missed by her four grandchildren: Derek Smith, Connor Thomas, Brandon Smith and Janelle Thomas. She is also survived by her sisters, Kay Evans of Troup, TX, and Helen (Jerry A.) Cole of Bedias, TX. She is also survived by numerous other nieces, nephews and extended family members. She was preceded in death by her parents, Laverne and Marguerite Dishongh Callender and her brother-in-law, Glen Evans. A celebration of Betty Jean Callender Ramsey’s life will be held at First Baptist Church, Palacios, TX, on July 3, 2013 with a private family burial to follow at a later time in Bedias, TX. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Betty Jean Ramsey to First Baptist Church, Palacios or Bedias Baptist Church, Bedias, TX.

REAGAN, Nancy Reagan (Abstracted from the Legacy.com website) Nancy Reagan, the former first lady of the United States, has died at the age of 94 on March 6, 2016. Reagan was born Anne Frances Robbins July 6, 1921, in Manhattan, the daughter of silent film and Broadway actress Edith Luckett and car salesman Kenneth Robbins, who divorced when she was a baby. She was adopted later by her stepfather, Loyal Davis, and her name was legally changed to Nancy Davis. After attending Smith College, she pursued a career in acting. As a contract player with MGM, Nancy Davis became a well-known actress with roles in films including "Night Into Morning" and "Hellcats of the Navy." During her time in Hollywood, Davis was involved with actors including Clark Gable and Robert Stack, but the relationship that stuck was with the man who was then president of the Screen Actors Guild, Ronald Reagan. They dated for several years and married in 1952. Her acting career continued for some years after the wedding, including occasional television roles, but by the early 1960s, she had retired. In 1967, Reagan became first lady of California as her husband was elected governor. As first lady, she became a member of the California Arts Council as well as supporting organizations, including the Foster Grandparents Program and charities devoted to helping veterans and people with disabilities. She served as first lady for her husband's two terms, from 1967 to 1975. Though Ronald Reagan lost his first bid for the U.S. presidency in 1976, he won handily in 1980, and he and Nancy moved to Washington, DC. As the nation's first lady, she brought glamour to the White House that echoed that of the Kennedy administration, becoming known for her personal style and meticulous decoration and renovation of the White House. Also of key importance to her eight years as first lady was her "Just Say No" campaign against recreational drugs. Focusing on drug education and discouraging young people from drug abuse, Reagan mounted a highly visible campaign, appearing on talk shows, touring the U.S., and even making her pitch on episodes of "Dynasty" and "Diff'rent Strokes." While in the White House, Reagan was diagnosed with breast cancer and elected to undergo a mastectomy, in an echo to the diagnosis and action of previous first lady Betty Ford. Just as Ford's cancer fight helped raise awareness and open a dialogue about the previously hushed disease, so did Reagan's operation. In the months following her diagnosis and surgery, many U.S. women had mammograms done. After two terms as first lady, Reagan continued to champion drug abuse prevention, establishing the Nancy Reagan Foundation with the goal of educating people about the dangers of recreational drugs. She also became involved in Alzheimer's research organizations after her husband was diagnosed with the disease. She advocated for stem cell research and remained active in politics, hosting presidential debates in 2008 and 2012. Tributes have been coming in for Nancy Reagan. Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "Nancy Reagan was one of my heroes. She served as First Lady with unbelievable power, class and grace and left her mark on the world. She's with her Ronnie now, but those of us she left behind will miss her dearly." Reagan was preceded in death by her husband as well as by her stepdaughter, Maureen Reagan. She is survived by her children, Patti Davis and Ron Reagan, and stepson, Michael Reagan.
REAGAN, Ronald Wilson Reagan (Abstracted from several websites) WASHINGTON (AP) - Ronald Wilson Reagan, the cheerful crusader who devoted his presidency to winning the Cold War, trying to scale back government and making people believe it was "morning again in America," died Saturday after a long twilight struggle with Alzheimer's disease, a family friend said. He was 93. He died at his home in California, according to the friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The White House was told his health had taken a turn for the worse in the last several days. Five years after leaving office, the nation's 40th president told the world in November 1994 that he had been diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's, an incurable illness that destroys brain cells. He said he had begun "the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life." Reagan body was expected to be taken to his presidential library and museum in Simi Valley, CA, and then flown to Washington to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda. His funeral was expected to be at the National Cathedral, an event likely to draw world leaders. The body was to be returned to California for a sunset burial at his library. Reagan lived longer than any U.S. president, spending his last decade in the shrouded seclusion wrought by his disease, tended by his wife, Nancy, whom he called Mommy, and the select few closest to him. Now, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton are the surviving ex-presidents. Although fiercely protective of Reagan's privacy, the former first lady let people know his mental condition had deteriorated terribly. Last month, she said: "Ronnie's long journey has finally taken him to a distant place where I can no longer reach him." Reagan's oldest daughter, Maureen, from his first marriage, died in August 2001 at age 60 from cancer. Three other children survive: Michael, from his first marriage, and Patti Davis and Ron Prescott Reagan from his second. Over two terms, from 1981 to 1989, Reagan reshaped the Republican Party in his conservative image, fixed his eye on the demise of the Soviet Union and Eastern European communism and tripled the national debt to $3 trillion in his single-minded competition with the other superpower. Taking office at age 69, Reagan had already lived a career outside Washington, one that spanned work as a radio sports announcer, an actor, a television performer, a spokesman for the General Electric Co., and a two-term governor of California. At the time of his retirement, his very name suggested a populist brand of conservative politics that still inspires the Republican Party. He declared at the outset, "Government is not the solution, it's the problem," although reducing that government proved harder to do in reality than in his rhetoric. Even so, he challenged the status quo on welfare and other programs that had put government on a growth spurt ever since Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal strengthened the federal presence in the lives of average Americans. In foreign affairs, he built the arsenals of war while seeking and achieving arms control agreements with the Soviet Union. In his second term, Reagan was dogged by revelations that he authorized secret arms sales to Iran while seeking Iranian aid to gain release of American hostages held in Lebanon. Some of the money was used to aid rebels fighting the leftist government of Nicaragua. Despite the ensuing investigations, he left office in 1989 with the highest popularity rating of any retiring president in the history of modern-day public opinion polls. That reflected, in part, his uncommon ability as a communicator and his way of connecting with ordinary Americans, even as his policies infuriated the left and as his simple verities made him the butt of jokes. "Morning again in America" became his re- election campaign mantra in 1984, but typified his appeal to patriotrism through both terms. At 69, Reagan was the oldest man ever elected president when he was chosen on Nov. 4, 1980, by an unexpectedly large margin over incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter. Near-tragedy struck on his 70th day as president. On March 30, 1981, Reagan was leaving a Washington hotel after addressing labor leaders when a young drifter, John Hinckley, fired six shots at him. A bullet lodged an inch from Reagan's heart, but he recovered. Four years later he was re-elected by an even greater margin, carrying 49 of the 50 states in defeating Democrat Walter F. Mondale, Carter's vice president.

RECTOR, Melvin Rector (Abstracted from http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2016/05/24/wwii-vet-died-his-final-mission- london/84618100/) Until earlier this month, U.S. Army Air Corps veteran Melvin Rector had always regretted not having returned to the place where he served during World War II. This year, the 94-year-old Barefoot Bay man who served as a radio operator on B-17 Flying Fortress bombers decided to return to a country he last saw in 1945: England. It was such a milestone that the pilot of his American Airlines flight to England invited Rector to the cockpit and snapped pictures with the veteran. "The flight attendant stopped us and said, 'Mr. Rector, the captain would like to meet you.'" said Susan Jowers, who accompanied Rector on the trip. On May 6 he arrived in London for a tour of World War II sights and the places he had served 71 years earlier. Rector was scheduled to visit his former base RAF Snetterton Heath in Norfolk, but started the tour at the Battle of Britain Bunker in the Uxbridge area of London that first day. "He walked out of that bunker like his tour was done," said Jowers, 60, who first met Rector when she served as his guardian during a 2011 Honor Flight trip to Washington, DC. She said she became like a daughter to Rector after that. As he walked out, Rector told Jowers that he felt dizzy. Jowers took hold of one of Rector's arms while a stranger grasped the other. Rector died quietly there just outside the bunker. Jowers said she expected three or four people for the simple funeral service in London. That was until others found out about it. "They just wanted something simple, and when I found out a little background about Melvin, there is just no way that we were just going to give him a simple service," funeral director Neil Sherry told British ITV Network, which aired a news piece about Rector's funeral service. "We wanted it to be as special as possible." Though no one knew him, the Royal Air Force, U.S. Air Force and historians in London attended and participated in the funeral with military honors. "He certainly got a beautiful send-off," Jowers said. "People everywhere, from Cambridge to London heard his story." U.S. Army Maj. Leif Purcell told ITV he thought he and a few other U.S. military personnel would be the only ones to attend the funeral, but was surprised. "The representation from the Royal Air Force and the British Army that I saw here was phenomenal," he said. Rector's daughter, Sandy Vavruich, who lives in Gloversville, NY, said she was touched that so many people cared and showed up for her father's funeral in England. "You go to a foreign country and the have the love and honor a veteran," she said. "It was so nice that he had those to participate in his service." Vavruich said her father was in a peaceful place doing what he had set out to do. "He couldn't have asked for a better way to go," she said. "It was quick and painless. He had just gotten to see two planes and he passed away between them." Rector served with the 96th Bomb Group during the war, flying bombing missions over Europe. He served in the military from 1943 to 1951 and attained the rank of master sergeant. He last served in 1945 in England. "He planned it for like the last six months," said Darlene O'Donnell, Rector's stepdaughter who lives across the street from Rector's Barefoot Bay home. "He couldn't wait to go." O'Donnell said Rector volunteered with Honor Flight, helped out at his church and did other volunteer work. In 2011, he was taken on an Honor Flight, which takes World War II veterans on all-expense paid trips to Washington, DC to reflect at the monuments in their honor. He was paired with Jowers as his guardian for the trip. Her father also served in the Army Air Corps but died when she was very young. "Since then we became like father and daughter," said Jowers, who has an interest in World War II history. "There was just something about Melvin. We had a connection." A funeral service for Rector, a father of six, is set for June 9 at First Baptist Church of Barefoot Bay. Jowers said his remains were being repatriated Tuesday. "He completed his final mission," she said.

RICHARDSON, Samuel H. Richardson (Abstracted from the Charleston Mercury (Charleston, SC), October 4, 1859) Died at his residence in Wakulla County, FL on September 15th, Col. Samuel H. Richardson was in the 60th year of his age. Mr. Richardson was a native of South Carolina, but immigrated to Florida in the year 1829 and was one of the very earliest settlers of the Hicks Town Hammock, in Madison County, where he continued to reside, beloved by all of his neighbors, until about the year 1851, when he removed to Wakulla. In all the attributed and social virtues which are necessary to make one useful to his family and his country, the lamented deceased was processed with his full share. He loved his country well, and at her call never failed to respond. During the last War with Great Britain he served his full term as a soldier, in protecting the shores of his native State from invasion; and to those who remember and resided in Middle Florida during the Seminoles War, it is needless to say he fully discharged his duty in those dark and perilous times; not only as a private in the ranks, but also later as Lieut. Colonel, commanding the militia between the Aucilla and the Suwannee Rivers – the latter position assigned him by Gov. R. K. Call. Death is at all times sad, but, in Col. Richardson’s his widow, surviving children and families have great consolation that, however painful to part with one so kind and affectionate, their loss is his eternal gain.

ROBERT, Rene Robert (Abstracted from the St. Augustine Record) Father Rene Robert died tragically on April 11, 2016 after attempting to minister to a 28-year-old man who had been recently released from a Jacksonville, FL jail. Father Robert was 71. But as horrific as his death was, Father Rene Robert would not want us to remember him for the way he died but rather how he lived. "Father Rene was a humble and generous servant of Our Lord and he shared his many gifts with the poor, the deaf community and with individuals whose lives have found themselves in jail or imprisoned. He put his faith into action through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy," said Bishop Felipe Estévez of the Diocese of St. Augustine. The adopted son of the late Bernadette and Donat Robert of Waterford, NY, Father Rene was born on Sept. 2, 1944. He called Waterford home. From the time he was a young boy, he knew he wanted to serve God's people. He entered the Conventual Franciscan Brothers Seminary in Watertown, NY, after graduating from Catholic Central High School in Troy, NY, in 1962. He discerned his vocation and studied for three years before professing vows. In 1966, he began ministering to the Catholic deaf community in the Diocese of Albany. He served at Assumption Parish, Syracuse, NY, Queen of Peace Friary, Middleburg, NY, and at the Franciscan Mission House, Rensselaer, NY. He obtained a bachelor's degree in deaf education from the University of Alabama in 1975 and a master's in education from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, in 1977. From 1970 to 1977, Father Rene was named moderator of the Pittsburgh Catholic deaf community where he served for seven years as the director of the religious education program at the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. In 1977, he served for three years at St. John's School for the Deaf in Milwaukee, WI. On August 30, 1980, Brother Rene Robert was ordained to the permanent diaconate at St. Anthony on the Hudson, Rensselaer, NY, by Bishop Howard Hubbard of the Albany Diocese. One month later, Bishop John J. Snyder of the Diocese of St. Augustine appointed Brother Rene to serve as a full-time pastoral worker at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine teaching religious education and preparing Catholic students to receive the sacraments. During this period, he served on the National Catholic Office for the Deaf (NCOD) board for four years. He also worked as the representative for the Atlantic Seaboard region for NCOD. In 1987, he answered a call to the priesthood and began studying full time at Pope John XXIII Seminary in Westin, MA. On August 19, 1989, Bishop Snyder ordained Father Rene to the priesthood at St. Mary's Parish in Waterford, NY. In 1990, he obtained his master's in theological studies from Washington Theological Union, Silver Springs, MD. In 1995, Father Rene left the Franciscan Order and became a priest of the Diocese of St. Augustine. The Franciscans served in the diocese at San Sebastian Catholic Church from 1980 to 1993.For the next 12 years, Father Rene continued to serve as chaplain at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind while also assisting at San Sebastian Catholic Church and the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine. He served as a parochial vicar at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Fleming Island until his retirement in 2012. "To those whom he ministered, Father Rene will be remembered for his kindness and endless love for them. He always saw the good in the people he served, reminding them that God created them for greatness with a good and noble purpose for others," said Bishop Estévez. Father Rene is preceded in death by his sister Cecile "Terry" Adams who died in 2012 in Waterford, NY. He is survived by Terry's husband Walter Adams of Waterford, his brother Brian E. (Gina) Robert of Waterford, Deborah A. Bedard (Terri O'Clair) of Watervliet, his half- sister Joan McAndrew of Cambridge, NY, seven nieces and nephews and 12 grandnieces and grandnephews. There will be a prayer vigil on Monday, April 25 at San Sebastian Catholic Church, 1112 State Road 16, St. Augustine. The funeral Mass will be concelebrated on Tuesday, April 26 at San Sebastian Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations in Father Rene Robert's name be made to the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind and San Sebastian Catholic Church to continue his deaf ministry there.

RODERICK, Thomas Roderick (Abstracted from Elmer’s friend Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak the Bangor (ME) Daily News September 20, 2013) Dr. Thomas Roderick former president of the Maine Genealogical Society died Sept. 4 in Bar Harbor, was a dear man who generously shared his knowledge as a geneticist to further and enrich the family history studies of MGS members and others around Maine and in other parts of the country. We will miss him. His talks were challenging, but never condescending. For many of us, he was the helping hand that guided us up a step or two in understanding genetics and appreciating concepts such as mitochondrial DNA — the genetic material that comes from the mother’s mother’s mother’s mother’s mother and so on. A senior scientist at Jackson Laboratory, Tom knew Bryan Sykes, author of “The Seven Daughters of Eve,” and was a close friend of Dr. Victor McKusick, the Parkman native who researched at Johns Hopkins Hospital and was key to the Human Genome Project. Tom was credited with coining the term “genomics.” From Tom, we learned about a family history mystery that was solved by tracing the presence of hemophilia; about the prevalence of deafness on Martha’s Vineyard, and about the advantages of studying genealogy of a place such as Iceland, where nearly everyone really is related to each other. He founded the Annual Short Course on Medical and Experimental Mammalian Genetics, which brings geneticists from around the world to Bar Harbor, and co- founded the Center for Human Genetics in Bar Harbor. The center offered free clinics for families with medical issues in genetics. Tom also responded kindly to the millions of questions he was asked by non-scientists, from “Why are my children’s eyes blue?” to “Should I be worried that my great-grandparents were first cousins?” I asked him the second one, and was relieved to find out that lots of people can trace their ancestry back to first cousins who married and had children, and things usually turned out fine. From Tom I learned about organizations such as the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. Visit the website at isogg.org and learn more about famous genealogy and haplogroups, etc. Tom had a wonderful sense of humor to go along with his kind demeanor. He loved the Maine Genealogical Society and its chapters, and he was a blessing to all who knew him. He came from Michigan and didn’t have much New England ancestry at all, but he chose to be buried in Bar Harbor. I am glad about that. My condolences go to Hilda and Tom’s family, and a sincere thank you for sharing this dear man whose work has benefited countless people. Donations in memory of Dr. Thomas H. Roderick may be made to The Jackson Laboratory, 600 Main St., Box 610, Bar Harbor, ME 04609.
RODGERS, Carol Jean Rodgers (Abstracted from https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/ellenton-fl/carol-rodgers-4562899) Carol Jean (Lauria) Rodgers, age 66, of Waterlefe Golf and River Club, lost her final battle with cancer and went to the arms of her loving Savior on February 16, 2011. Carol was born in Philadelphia, PA on August 19, 1944 to Mike and Helen Lauria. She was that little Italian girl on Somerset Street that would guard your car when you went to watch the Phillies play baseball. Carol married Roland on June 19, 1965 (Col. US Army-Ret.). It was during her husband’s first overseas assignment that Carol learned the Army way of life. For twenty-six years, Carol, Roland and their three sons moved from Germany to Korea and all points in between. Carol became an expert at family logistics during these years, becoming the handy-woman for many trades. No matter the activity (and there were many with three boys), she heavily participated in every activity her children and family did—she was the den mother for her sons’ scouting, and the little league team “Mom” for more teams than one could imagine. She was always the voice to be heard above the crowd at all the children’s games. Carol was very active in the Catholic Church, working as church secretary and as a CCD teacher. She was active as a leader for the Ladies Niner’s Golf League. She was also an active member of the Red Hat Society and was involved in a number of clubs including Mahjong and book club. Carol is survived by her loving family: husband Roland; children Jimmy (wife Cheryl), Michael (wife Shirley) and David; grandchildren Rebecca, Sydney, Vincent, Tess, and Luke; sister Bonnie; brothers-in-law Nick and Frank; and niece Erin. A visitation will be at the Mansion Memorial Funeral Home at 1400 36th Avenue, East in Ellenton, FL.

RODGERS, Joshua P. Rodgers (Abstracted from http://www.pantagraph.com/news/local/obituaries/joshua-rodgers/article_fc24cb1d-7372-533a-9825- ece8fecbfef5.html) BLOOMINGTON — Army Ranger Sgt. Joshua P. Rodgers, age 22, of Bloomington, was killed in action Thursday (April 27, 2017) in Nangarhar Province during a joint operation with Afghan forces. Josh was assigned to Company C, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and stationed at Fort Benning, GA. He was on his third deployment to Afghanistan. His celebration of life will be Saturday at Eastview Christian Church, Normal. Kibler-Brady Ruestman Memorial Home, Bloomington, is assisting the family with arrangements. A private family interment will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Josh Rodgers Scholarship Fund, in care of Normal Community High School. Josh was born Aug. 22, 1994, in Bloomington, a son to Kevin and Vonda Coulter Rodgers. Surviving are his parents, Kevin and Vonda Rodgers, Bloomington; two sisters, Emily Rodgers and Hannah (Nathan Iloilo) Rodgers, Bloomington; a brother, Ashton Rodgers, Bloomington; a niece, Victoria Rodgers, Bloomington; grandparents, Russ and Diana Coulter, Gibson City, and Christine Rodgers, Bloomington; aunts, uncles and cousins, Duane, Trish, Makayla and Delanie Fisher, Aurora, CO; Joe and Carrie, Tyler, Cecil and Charlie Rodgers, Bloomington; and Dan, Marcie and Charlotte Rodgers, Janesville, NY. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Mike Rodgers. Josh attended Northpoint Elementary, Kingsley Junior High and Normal Community High School. After graduating from high school in May 2013, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and completed One Station Unit Training at Fort Benning, as an infantryman. Following completion of the Basic Airborne Course, Rodgers was assigned to the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program 1, also at Fort Benning. He graduated from RASP 1 and was then assigned to 2nd Platoon, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, where he served as a machine gunner, light machine gunner, gun team leader, and Ranger fire team leader. While serving our country, Josh deployed three times to Afghanistan, earned the coveted Ranger Tab, the Parachutist Badge and the Marksmanship Qualification Badge Expert-Rifle. He was also awarded the Army Achievement Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with two Campaign Stars, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Non- Commissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, and the NATO Medal. Posthumously, Sgt. Rodgers was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star medal with Valor. Though we mourn, we must remember the good times and cherish them forever. Josh loved his country, his family and friends, the military, and especially, his fellow Rangers and regiment. Josh knew his purpose in life and was living out his dream. He was an amazing friend with a big heart. Josh had a smile that could light up any room and a very contagious laugh that was loved by all. He was a man of very few words, but when he spoke you listened. Through hard work and determination he continually led by example and made everyone around him proud. His generosity was unwavering and if you needed anything from him he was always there. We encourage all of those who once knew Josh to not make this a final goodbye, rather a see you later. As Josh told his grandma before he left, "If I don’t come home, I will be with Jesus." Although Josh may physically be gone, his presence on earth will forever remain near. His soft- spoken words will continue to be our daily motivation. Josh was, and forever will be, a warrior. Tenacious, humble, determined and supportive. He was a true inspiration to everyone who knew him. Our service men and women are drawn to join for a multitude of reasons, but underlying the search for adventure, the desire to see the world, the need for a "steady" job, is generally a rich vein of patriotism and a healthy dose of desire to serve and protect. Although rarely acknowledged, each one knows that a military life also means separation, hardship, often times living in adverse conditions, and the unspoken exposure to danger. Though it is rarely brought out into the light, this knowledge is tucked away and balanced by the pride in serving our country, affinity to their chosen military branch, and loyalty to their brothers and sisters in arms. For those like Josh who died in service, we do not believe that their lives were "lost," as that minimizes the sacrifice." "Lost" implies a helpless, directionless, and wandering. Josh and every other person who honorably serves in our military knows and accepts that risk, but does it anyway. They are smart, strong, talented and focused, filled with honor and pride.

ROGERS, Leon Eyges Rogers (Abstracted from https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/heraldtribune/obituary.aspx?n=leon-eyges-rogers&pid=170881839) Leon Eyges Rogers loved life. He was an outstanding athlete, loving to and greatly loved by his family, a first-class and respected marketing executive and a fine person in every way. Leon was born a twin on 9 January 1918 in Brookline, MA, to parents he adored - Abraham and Hannah Eyges Rogers. He was educated in Brookline schools, graduated Huntington School of Boston, and earned his college degree at Brown University. He spent many happy summers, as a camper and counselor, at Camp Brunonia in Maine. Leon's athletic abilities were recognized early on as a team player and a track star. While at Brookline High School, he held the Massachusetts State Record for the 300-yd. dash. He also won the Massachusetts, Northeastern, Andover and Bowdoin Interscholastic 300-yd. events. The BHS Dash and Relay teams never lost a race. At Huntington School, he received the Washburn Cup for Best Athlete in the School. He was a varsity player for baseball and football, and was captain of the track team. His team was never defeated in a dual meet of the 300-yd. dash. Leon graduated from Brown University in 1940 with a degree in English Literature. At Brown, he was a member of the Owl and Ring Society; one of the originators of WBRU, the Brown University Radio Network; and Sports Editor of the Brown Daily Herald for 3 years (the only sophomore ever in this position). He was a member of the Ivy League Club and Brown University Club. His pride in and support for his alma mater was lifelong, and it gave him great joy when his daughter Patti chose to attend Brown. Leon served in the U.S. Navy Reserve as a Lieutenant Senior Grade for 4 years in WWII. His business career included being Vice President of Sales and Marketing for two publicly traded corporations and General Manager of a privately owned company. During the course of his career, he was a resident of New York, Chicago and Connecticut. Even in his youth, Leon always cared about community and was a responsible citizen. He was a Founder and President for many years of the Trojan Club, a Brookline Boys Club, active from 1931 into the 21st century. The Club was a huge charitable fundraiser for caring causes. When he retired to Longboat Key, Florida, in 1981, he became a member of the Longboat Key Club and a benefactor and supporter of fine arts and culture in Sarasota. Throughout his long life he was a great champion of others making the most of their gifts and celebrated the achievements of the ones he loved. A tennis enthusiast, Leon played in many clubs all over the U.S. and was still setting up games with "the guys" up until he was 87 years old. In his words, he "touched the surface of a court in every state but North and South Dakota." He played tennis in Bermuda, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Israel. Leon took an interest in everyone he met. He was a keen observer of people and places, often sharing his excitement through photographs. Listening to him was time well-spent, whether for his wisdom or humor. He was very organized and efficient. He was extraordinarily thoughtful, remembering all special occasions of friends and family with the perfect greeting card. Leon valued quality in all things. He appreciated people who were well-spoken and direct. He was a constant reader, lover of music and all the performing arts, and a life-long learner. He fulfilled his goal to study piano after retirement. At the age of 64, he began developing a repertoire of popular songs he liked to play. He loved the beach, the Florida sunshine and sunsets, and being a Bostonian, ice cream! As a husband, he was a dedicated partner, a best friend, a true gentleman and romantic. As a father and grandfather, he was generous, a valued and powerful influence, as well as perpetually energetic about creating fun activities. He was handsome all his life into old age. Leon Rogers was married to the late Muriel Mae Short for 39 years. They traveled extensively, enjoyed life, lived in many places and had a good marriage. In 1982, he married Annette Gold Rogers, and together they created years of wonderful memories living on Longboat Key and traveling the world. Annette was by his side at the Sarasota Bay Club for his final chapter, ending peacefully April 28, 2014. Leon leaves his devoted daughters Patricia Rogers and Victoria Lee Rogers and cherished granddaughters (Patti's children) Ming Rogers and Baie Rogers; his wife Annette Gold Rogers, and her daughters Ronnie Gold and Carol Gold.

ROHRBAUGH, Lewis Bunker Rohrbaugh (Abstracted from https://blog.eogn.com/2016/01/12/update-lewis-bunker-rohrbaugh-r-i-p/) Lewis Bunker Rohrbach, F.A.S.G., of Marco Island, Florida, and Worb, Switzerland, one of genealogy’s most dynamic and widely- respected writers and publishers, passed away in Naples, FL on 2 January 2016, after a short stay at Avow Hospice. Despite an illness that became critical several months ago, he was able to continue his research in early Swiss records up until a few days before his death. Lew was born in Philadelphia on 28 October 1941, son of Lewis Henry and Ruth Elizabeth (Bunker) Rohrbaugh, and a Birthright Quaker. He attended Westtown School in West Chester, PA, and then Amherst College, where he was a member of Phi Delta Sigma fraternity. After graduating in 1963 with a degree in Economics, he completed six months of training in the U.S. Army Reserves. He then began a professional career in the banking industry as credit analyst for Provident National Bank in Philadelphia, but quickly moved into the investment banking business, first with Butcher and Sherrerd brokerage in Philadelphia, and then with Endowment Management & Research Corporation in Boston. His final stint as an employee was a year as a vice-president of Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder in New York. In 1973 he formed his own consulting company and became one of the first securities analysts to extensively cover the burgeoning Japanese market; primary clients during that 15-year period were Endowment Management, Nikko Securities of Tokyo, and GT Management of London. His first marriage, in 1964 to Suzanne Potts, ended in divorce a decade later. He married, second, on 28 June 1980 in Rockport, ME, Carol Allen Cressman, daughter of Dr. Paul Gerhardt and Betty (Allen) Cressman, who survives him. It was at the time of his second marriage that he changed his name from Rohrbaugh to its original spelling, Rohrbach. Genealogy was a strong interest for Lew dating back to his childhood and influenced by his mother, Ruth (Bunker) Rohrbaugh, who herself did significant work in the field. His family also provided another important connection, summers on the Maine coast. As a teen-ager Lew conducted a thriving lobster business, maintaining his own traps in the harbor. Given his love of books, genealogy, and Maine, combined with an outstanding business sense, it was a natural move in 1978 for Lew to establish a small publishing business, Picton Press, in his home in Rockport, Maine; after a period in Camden, he settled it in an old farmhouse in Rockport. The focus was on transcription of old records, but a “vanity press” division, Penobscot Press, handled books funded by their authors. Lew had already published the first two volumes of his own Rohrbach Genealogy, in 1970 and 1977; the third appeared in 1982. In 1983 he put his investment career aside in order to focus on developing Picton as a leader in excellence in the industry. One of its early publications was Boston Taxpayers in 1821. Although he continued his own research at a steady pace, Lew was personally involved in every aspect of Picton: when necessary he jumped in and rewrote passages, he indexed books, and he went to genealogical conferences marketing them. Picton’s specifications for book production were just a bit more stringent than those of other companies; attention was given not only to appearance, but to such details as heavier boards in the bindings and high quality acid-free paper. His home in Rockport was packed to the gills with books, and in the 1990s Lew invited a few people whose work he had published to serve on the board of a new venture, an Institute for the Study of Colonial History. Even though meetings were expected to be infrequent and small, the effort came to naught when small town New England politics interfered and the Selectmen rejected the establishment of an institution that strove to celebrate the history of the place. Finally, he sold Picton’s Rockport house and moved the business to rented quarters in Rockland. Throughout the years, Lew and his small staff at Picton performed wonders for Maine research, bringing out editions of classics with new introductions, publishing vital records of Maine towns and other books for the Maine Genealogical Society, and, finally, digitizing Maine town records and making them available on CDs. (An offer to do the same for Rhode Island was met with distrust by town clerks and never got off the ground.) Lew’s wife Carol says, “Maine was his new world heritage and a place where he began his work of assembling and publishing vital records in association with the genealogical community. But Switzerland was his identity and core.” In 2001, hoping to give their young daughter a taste of another culture, Lew and Carol moved to Worb, Switzerland, for what was intended to be a year’s stay; Staatsarchiv Bern gave him a work permit in exchange for his writing a book for them. That year turned into a long-term residency, as the reserved Swiss uncharacteristically welcomed the family — a time recalled by Carol as one of the happiest in Lew’s life. Finding that “the 15th and 16th centuries were where he wanted to spend his research efforts and the Canton of Bern was so generous in offering up to him some of their treasures,” Lew had his large collection of books shipped from Maine to Worb. Although frustrated by the fact that he could never master the spoken Bern Deutsch dialect, he learned to read the ancient script. A few months before his death, knowing that he was working against time, he wrote to a friend, “There is something simply magical about being about to go into old German from the 1500s and 1600s which has never been transcribed much less translated, and solving problems.” Lew’s partnership with the Bern Archives resulted in several books and numerous CDs of German Churchbooks and other early records. His Guide to Swiss Genealogical Research was published by Picton in 2010, and Volumes 4 and 5 of his Rohrbach Genealogy appeared in 2012 and 2014. Lew’s first five volumes on various Rohrbach families, many of whom were not related to him personally, are considered among the best and most well- documented books on American families with German and/or Swiss origins ever published — classics in their field. At the time of his passing, Lew was working feverishly on proofreading and adding footnotes to Volumes 6 through 10, which cover all Swiss Rohrbachs c1250-2015 including their thousands of descendants in America; the indexes alone have about 150,000 entries. His goal was to make the entire Rohrbach series, in his words, “the best single-surname genealogy of the last century.” His memberships included the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, the Pennsylvania German Society, the Swiss American History Society, the Maine Genealogical Society, the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Maine, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts, the Camden [Maine] Yacht Club, the La Jolla [California] Beach and Tennis Club, and the Island Country Club, Marco Island, Florida. He was a Trustee of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, from 1991 to 1993. He was certified as a C.G. for 40 years, and in 2015, shortly before his death, he was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists. Lew was meticulous, a scholar’s scholar – and his absolute passion for genealogy came through via the excellent quality of his own many publications (not to mention those of Picton Press): he accomplished what many genealogists can only aspire to achieve. Although often a lightning rod for controversy, he was at heart “a giver,” happily dispensing advice and sharing his expertise with any family historian who sought him out. In 2014, he gave his 12,000-volume library (about 11,000 books and 1,000 quarterly journals, shipped back from Switzerland) to the St. Louis County Public Library’s Special Collections. He leaves his wife, Carol Cressman Rohrbach, daughter Elisabeth (“Liz”) Rohrbach Andrews, son-in-law Christopher John Andrews, and a multitude of friends and colleagues in both the United States and Switzerland who will miss him greatly. The publication of his final Rohrbach volumes is scheduled for 2017. Picton Press will close but its legacy will continue. The Rohrbach Foundation, which Lew formed to underwrite historical and educational projects, will distribute Picton’s inventory to libraries throughout the county.

RUDD, Dennis J. Rudd (Abstracted from http://www.farleyfuneralhome.com/obituary/dennis-rudd/) Dennis J Rudd, age 63, of Nokomis FL passed away October 30, 2014. Dennis was born December 17, 1950 in Long Branch, NJ to Grace Ploger Rudd and James Rudd. Dennis was raised in Atlantic Highlands, NJ with his grandparents, parents, sisters, brother, aunts, uncles and cousins all together on the same street. His first uniform was that of a boy scout and his last uniform he wore with pride was with the Keansburg Police Department. He also served in the United States Army in the Military Police from 1974 to 1977. In 1982 he received his Associates Degree in Science, Criminal Justice from Brookdale Community College. He began his career with the Keansburg Police Department in 1980 as a patrolman. During his tenure at the KPD, he developed the police scuba division and trained officers for water rescue missions. He also designed a scuba diving program for at-risk students to keep them in school. His accomplishments were numerous from fire arms instructor to underwater investigator to photographer. He was trained in bomb scare techniques, fingerprint classifications and advanced criminology to name a few. He retired from the KPD in 2001 as a Detective Captain. Scuba diving was Dennis’ passion in life. He was a PADI Master Instructor and taught classes and organized dive trips for Dosil’s in Middletown, NJ. His dive trips became legendary and were some of the best times in his life. His passion for diving was contagious because of the spirit and enthusiasm that he brought to it; but he brought that spirit to whatever he did – drinking beer at 60 feet underwater or hanging out at home. Whether Dennis was organizing under water bowling for charity or taking photographs of sea life, he approached it with a joyfulness that was infectious. Dennis was also an avid bowler and loved working outside in the yard. He was content to be with those he loved and enjoyed a frosty cold Coors Light on occasion. And fittingly, Dennis ended his working career at the Venice Dive Center in Venice, FL. He was preceded in death by his father, James Rudd, his mother Grace Ploger Rudd, and his brother Steven Maxson. He is survived by his wife, Diana M. Cantillo, his sisters Vicki Struble, Highlands NJ and Carol Soles, West Virginia, his mother- in-law Mary Cantillo, brother and sister in-laws Tom and Mary Cantillo and Mary Ann and Dave Kachelriess, Sarasota FL and family member Jamie Lyn Rossbach Keansburg, NJ.

Don was born November 30, 1925 in Coffeen, IL, son of Edwin and Viola Ruppe. He grew up in southern Illinois. It was here that he met and married Carmen Schmidt on August 12, 1944. After 58 years of marriage Carmen passed in 2002. While living in Sarasota, FL, Don met and married Priscilla Chandler Cross on August 2, 2003. Survivors include his wife Priscilla and his children: Kim and her husband George Kolar of Sarasota, FL, Lane Ruppe of Paducah, KY; 2 grandchildren: Seth Dobson and Jacob Ruppe; and one great-grandchild Genevieve Dobson.

Don graduated from Greenville High School where he excelled in his passions: basketball and baseball. Upon graduating he was called to serve in the U. S. Army Air Corp during WWII. After his honorable discharge he used the GI Bill to attend Greenville College transferring to the Illinois College of Optometry. Don and Carmen bought a small optometry practice in Monticello, IL following graduation. He grew the practice over the next 31 years and it brought him much success and enjoyment. He was a popular doctor with a ready smile and an easy demeanor. Doc played golf for many years at the Monticello Golf Club where he found a new outlet for his competitive streak. He was a member of the Illinois Optometric Association, the Rotary Club, the Allerton Library Board, the Cosmos Club and the City Council. Don was on the City Council committee that researched, planned and built the public swimming pool in what was to become the Robert C. Burke Memorial Park. When time would permit he could be found walking the paths in Allerton Park. After retirement, Don and Carmen became snowbirds, residing in Illinois and Florida, allowing him to pursue golf year round and spend quality time with his grandsons. He was a great son, husband, father and grandfather who valued his family and his many friends of Monticello. While his family meant everything to Doc his golf foursome in Monticello was like his second family and he valued the time they spent competing on the golf course or around a poker table. Later he especially enjoyed his grandsons, always making time to pass on his tips on living a good life but how not to take it or themselves too seriously. After Carmen passed in 2002 Don married Priscilla Cross, who had a Monticello connection despite meeting quite accidently in Sarasota, Florida. Priscilla's daughter, Dawn is married to Marc Poling, both of Monticello. Don and Priscilla made their home at Bay Village of Sarasota. It was while married to Priscilla that Don found yet a new passion: cruising the world. From Sweden to Cape Horn to Australia, to Alaska and to places in between, Don and Priscilla enjoyed their second home on the sea. As his health declined Priscilla and Kim were his devoted companions and he still had a ready smile, never failing to say that he had led a good life. A celebration of his life was held privately with just the immediate family in Sarasota. Interred in Section 6, Site 1466 of the Sarasota National Cemetery.
