Richard Henry Daum
May 11, 1935 - February 24, 2018
Richard Daum passed away on 24 Feb. 2018, age 82, surrounded by
family and friends in his home in Hemet, California. Richard was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin on May
11, 1935. Growing up he could be found working at the family business, Daum’s
Pharmacy or involved in various youth sports. He eventually found his best
sport to be swimming which he continued through High School where he was a
Wisconsin State High School Champion in 3 events. More important while on the
swim team he met Kay Keckler whom he married on May 5, 1956. In 1958 son, Michael, was born and in 1959 son,
Charles, was born.
In June 1953 Richard joined the U.S.M.C serving 4 years with his
most memorable duty assignment being the one year living in Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii. Following his discharge he
worked for Bell Telephone and bought a small farm back in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In 1966, after great effort, Richard was successfully activated from the Marine
Corps Reserve and spent 13 months in Vietnam. In January 1968, the farm was sold and the
family began Marine Corps life once again.
Over the years his duty assignments included: Quantico, Virginia;
Iwakuni, Japan (3 times); 29 Palms, California (2 times); Camp LeJuene, North
Carolina; and Camp Pendeton, California. In 1984 Richard retired from Marine
Corps active duty and started a second career as a Communication Cable
Installation Supervisor until he retired for the second time in 1997. In 1994 Richard and Kay moved to Hemet,
California.
While his sons lived at home Richard kept busy attending their
sporting events and coaching the 29 Palms City swim team with Kay. In 1982 Richard became a member of the Vista
Elks Lodge, purchased his first motorhome and joined their RV camping group,
The Grasshoppers. Over the next 35 years RV camping with the Grass Hoppers and
on their own became the focal point of his recreation. His trips across the
country and to Alaska brought many good times.
On many occasions they brought the Grand Kids along which provided a
lifetime of happy memories.
Richard Daum is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Kay, his
son, Michael and wife Misako, 2 Granddaughters, Chaz (Clayton) and Cassidy, and

Albert Donald Williams
August 12, 1942 - February 14, 2018
On St. Valentine's Day, February 14, 2018, The Heavenly Host
and the ancestors softly and tenderly whispered to Albert Donald Williams that
it was time for him to come home. His
work on earth of dispensing joy and laugher and giving comforting to those in
need had come to an end.
Spring Season
Albert Donald Williams has completed
his full Seasonal lifetime chart on Planet Earth. His SPRING SEASON began On August 12,1942, in Houston, Texas,
where he was born to Jesse Edward Williams and Martha Louise Robinson
Williams. The family members loving
called him Don. He was christened in
Houston at St. Paul C.M.E. Church, that later became Sheeler Memorial C.M.E.
Church.
In 1943 his family moved to Los Angeles, California. When he was
three years old, the spirit moved him and he started preaching to family
members. He would stand on a box and the
divine word of God would flow through him from Calvary’s Mountain as be recited
the King James version Bible verses. At
an early age, he united with Hays Tabernacle C.M.E. Church and he sang in the
Children's and Youth choirs. The word of
God as well as music was an important part of his life. As a child, Don, began
taking piano and voice lessons with
Marjorie Tucker. After a few years, he discontinued the lessons. He was
musically inclined and the music came from within the depths of his inner
self which gave him the ability to play
the piano music by ear. Besides playing with other children in the
neighborhood, riding his tricycle, skating, making scooters from old skates he
was active in the Boy Scouts.
Summer Season
Don continued his Earthly Journey into his SUMMER SEASON and he received his
education in Los Angeles Public school system.
He attended Russell Elementary,
Edison Jr. High, and graduated from Fremont High School. He took
Horticulture classes and Woodshop classes at Fremont High School. The
Horticulture classes assisted him in helping his parents plant and cultivate
beautiful flower gardens and nutritional vegetable gardens. His woodshop
classes gave him the ability to make various pieces of furniture for his home.
He continued with the Scouts and he was elevated to the Explorer Scouts as a
teenager and was able to go on Summer camping trips where he learned to swim.
Fall Season
The next phrase of Don’s Earthly
Seasonal Life was his FALL SEASON. Albert Donald married Mary Yancy in the early 1960’s. This union ended in
divorce. On November 23,1976, he married
Artealia Hollins his soul mate. They moved to Pomona, California, with her
daughter Jessie Mae and helped raise the grandchildren. Don continued to create songs by ear on the
piano and he eventually taught himself
to play the Organ. Don did not become a preacher, but he was an avid reader of
the Bible. He memorized numerous Bible verses and quoted them as lessons to
live by and wisdom to explain the world.
He also studied the Bible through his telephone conferences. Don united with Macedonia Baptist Church in Pomona, California, serving
as pianist of the Sunday School, sang in the Inspirational Choir and the Men’s
Chorus.
Don was an industrious and conscientious entrepreneur in janitorial services.
He had contracts with Shakey’s and Straw Hat Pizza Parlors, and other
businesses. Keeping the pizza parlors
clean was a top priority for a healthy environment for customers. Don was a
pillar in his community. He and Artealia
assisted the Pomona Police Department with
the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), the City of Pomona’s planned response to
emergency/disaster situations associated with natural disasters, technological
incidents and national security emergencies.
Don’s sunny personality and love of music was an asset for
his pizza parlor job. At the grand
opening of new restaurants, he would often serenade the customers with his
inspiring and unique style of piano solos.
In his “heyday”, family and friends often
gathered at Don’s house for a fun filled
holiday. His delicious and tender BBQ, scrumptious greens, and hot water
cornbread became his Signature dishes. These dishes were food for the
soul. Music was always a big part of
these gatherings. Don would take his
place at the organ and begin to entertain with his bluesy style. Soon everyone would start singing along.
Winter Season
The final phase of his Earthly Seasonal Life was his WINTER SEASON. After the death of Artealia, Don married
Gwendolyn Keys. Gwen was there to
comfort and aid him in the final leg of his life’s journey. She provided him with the utmost
compassionate and gentle care that kept him going throughout his lengthy
illness. Gwen was aided by her brother Elton, who forged, a loving and
supportive bond with Don.
Don’s parents, Martha and Jesse
Williams, and his wife, Artealia Hollins
Williams and his granddaughter, Roberlynn Sims preceded him in death. He leaves to mourn his transition his wife
Gwendolyn Keys Williams, his daughter, Jessie Mae Jones, granddaughter, Alondriea Sims, grandson
Datrone Sims, Geat grandchildren: Jamelia Rich, Katrina Aifesehi, Thea Daniels,
Daevon Rone, Jaylynn moore, Jason Martin, great-great grandchildren: Ashanti
Fane, Naoima Atkinson, Ariana Rone, brother: Jitahadi Imara (Eugene Howard
Williams), sisters: Jessie Linda Williams Virgil, and Eugenia Elaine Williams
Schnyder, and a host of
relatives and friends.
Don will be remembered for teaching us how to enjoy life, in all its simplicity
and beauty. He was fond of saying, “ I have it together in all types of
weather.” This was the essence of a “blues man, improvising and plowing through
the storms of life. The blues did not bother Don because he was “blues man.” He
loved to play the blues. This was His
way of giving joy and happiness through his music. Somewhere in Heaven, Don is
playing the blues for the angels, his
parents, and all those waiting to “finger pop.” Let us smile and rejoice that
this blues man, son of Jesse and Martha Williams is now with his maker,
surrounded by love and at peace with himself because of the life he lived on
earth and the glory he gave to his Lord.
Rest in Peace Don, thou faithful husband, father, son, and
brother..
