Earl Roy Clark II
January 3, 1949 - November 26, 2020
Earl Roy Clark II was
laid to rest on November 26, 2020. It is with a heavy heart to announce Earl died
at 71 years of age from a long hard 8-year fight from Angiosarcoma Cancer. It
would be wrong to say that Earl lost his battle. The truth is, he
never stopped fighting. As a remarkably strong man, no matter how sick he was,
he was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Earl stayed
strong and fought. Through him, we know what resilience and perseverance truly
looks like. There was no quitting with Earl. Just because he is no longer
here it does not mean he lost his fight. In his honor and memory, he left
behind his former wife and lifelong partner Robin, his 4 children: Kevin
Ellis, Earl Roy Clark III, Leslie Marie Clark, and
Coleen Charlette Messteri. He had 10 grandchildren, 1 great-grandson, his
younger brother, 3 nieces, several cousins and many friends. E. R. Clark II was
loved by so many. He was a great father, grandfather, and uncle.
Earl was nothing
short of brilliant and it was evident through his career path serving in the
Coast Guard, working on the Railroad for many years as Brakeman for Santa Fe
and as a Conductor for Amtrak. He was smart, genuine, tender, understanding and
a true friend. He would often read the Bible in his spare time and would have
long conversations with the Lord. He was soft spoken, positive, and could always
see the good in everyone. He was an avid golfer, bowler and card player.
He often spent time at the racetrack on a beautiful sunny day. Possessing a
green thumb, he enjoyed gardening. He loved growing tomatoes, peppers, and
other veggies. He was an amazing creator of mouthwatering meals. The kitchen
was his playground.
He would often spend
time socializing at the American Legion with his fellow Veterans, laughing,
watching football, and enjoying a drink with his friends. In his spare time at
home, he enjoyed being on the computer playing games and challenging himself in
games of Chess. He loved fishing, camping, swimming, and spending time
outdoors. He will be missed by many and his legacy will never be forgotten. We
will love and miss him very much.
During the Covid-19
pandemic, he will not get the ceremony he deserves. The number of people that
can attend will be very limited. However, feel free to visit him anytime once
he is laid to rest.

My Everything
You're my love, my life
The air that I breathe
You're my soul, my happiness
The all that I need
You're my light, my dark
The stars in the sky
You're my ups, my downs
The reason I try
You're my strength, my weakness
The love from the start
You're my heartache, my pain
The beat of my heart
You're my tears, my joy
The love that you bring
You're my world, my galaxy
Pony you're my everything.
Love your fiance Reyna Araiza.

year, Bill found retirement life far too slow-paced and went back to work for

Team at Centerpoint church in Colton. He also volunteered as a board

Joseph John Vicario
August 9, 1939 - November 14, 2020
Joseph John Vicario (Joe) passed in his home surrounded by
family on November 14,
2020 after a long, arduous battle against cancer.
Joe was born in Jamestown, New York on August 9 th , 1939
(81 years old). He was the son
of Antonina (Ann) and Giacomo (Jack) Vicario and graduated
from Jamestown High
School, Class of 1958. He married Carolyn Marzullo on April
30 th , 1960 in Dunkirk, New
York and they were married over 60 years. In 1982 the family
relocated to Southern
California.
Joe enjoyed a long career working in sales and retired at
age 79 from Marshall Tool &
Supply. Always dressed in his best shirts and bow ties, he
was known as “the old man in
the hat”.
Although he had been on an exclusively liquid diet for over
18 years, he enjoyed
gourmet cooking for family, friends, neighbors and
strangers. He was generous, loving
and always the life of the party. He had a knack for
collecting friends wherever he
traveled throughout his personal and professional life.
His real love was making people laugh – his jokes, pranks
and one-liners will live on in
our hearts and minds forever. Joe also enjoyed golf,
wood-working projects and
spending time with his family and friends while ending each
day with a tall glass of
whiskey (or two).
Joe is preceded in death by his mother, father and brother,
Jack Richard Vicario. He is
survived by his wife, Carolyn Vicario, sister Carol Johnson,
his three children, James
(Sonia), Tracy (Greg Timmel) and Jack (Janna) Vicario, seven
grandchildren, four great
grandchildren and a host of loving in-laws, nieces, nephews,
cousins and longtime
friends from around the globe.
There will be no in-person or virtual memorial service.
Thanks to all of you for your
outpouring of love and support that he experienced as his
own celebration of life. He
was overwhelmed through your emails, phone calls, text
messages, cards, gifts and visits
– thank you!
Joe has requested cremation and a living memorial that will
grow up from a
biodegradable urn. He chose a pine tree that will be planted
at the Oregon Coast where
he spent and enjoyed some time. Pine trees are rugged, lean
and enduring. They are
long-lived, typically reaching up to 1,000 years or more and
Writer Plotnik called it “a
Clint Eastwood of a tree”.
Donations can be made in his name to Hospice at
donate@hospicefoundation.org or the
American Cancer Society at cancer.org.
