Art Goldstrom 5.22.1934 – 3.6.2024 A tree will be planted in our family Grove in Scotland to honor Art. I met him through his good friend Dan McLeod after I went looking for one of the Pie Companies original delivery trucks. Art went out to California fetched it brought it back to Las Vegas and organized its restoration with the Henry Ford Museum, the SNMTC, and Gary Cooper. When I offered to reimburse him for his expenses he said, “no you could not afford me… when it is finished before it is returned to your family let me display it at my annual show to benefit a charity.” You will be remembered and missed sir!

Datuk Ramesh Chander
The father of one of our closest friends recently passed. Besides sharing several of his families’ special moments, I also had the opportunity to work with him on a couple projects. Mr. Chander was Malaysia’s first Chief Statistician and was instrumental in the development of their New Economic Policy. He was later Statistical Adviser at the World Bank. Soon we will lift a glass of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau and have a laugh and drink in your honor.
Rest In Peace.

We are sad to learn of the passing Joseph Anthony Bruno (B. 1935). Joe and my uncle were best friends since childhood in the 1930’s and he was a family friend. He worked for in the Senate and in the White House for President Johnson and for his service in the Navy he will join my uncle and aunt later this year when he will be interned at Arlington National Cemetery! Joe sent me pictures from travels he and his wire Rhea made over the years with my uncle and they have been archived for future generations. We dined together over the last few years to catch up on Washington, D.C. (the old days) and on family. We will miss him deeply.

Patricia McLeod de Witt
January 3, 1941 - April 7, 2023 Just learned of the passing of Pat de Witt who I met in 2015 at Laguna Secca Race track in 2015. We were there for Porsche’s Rennsport Reunion and our car was damaged in shipping. Pat was one of the first to rush over to see if it could be repaired in time to race and she brought over a case of oil and helped access the damage and directed people to help. All this for free and from someone I had never met until that moment. We became friends and I invited her to Amelia Island in 2016 where our car won and I returned a little of her hospitality by taking her to dinner with my family. Pat was a car person and for over 50 years sponsored and raced with her team. She was known by most of the professional race car drivers throughout America and she will be deeply missed.

Mary Margaret O'Neil
May 10, 2023 AGE 90

(Just learned of her passing 9.12.2023)

I Only met MM O’Neil once and that was at her request when she was in her late 80’s. As she is family I always jump at the chance to learn more about our history and went to lunch with her at the Chevy Chase Country Club. We talked about our Irish and Scottish roots and family for some time before she made to me one of the strangest requests ever. As the matriarch of her side of the family, she was trying to hold on to and preserve what had been in the family since the 1880’s! I asked her if she was kidding when she asked for my help, she said, “she was not” and then I asked her, “where was she when I was starving my way through college eating food cooked on a flat-bottomed popcorn popper?” We both laughed! Ultimately before I could help, she was out maneuvered by “greed.” Rest In Peace MM O’Neil!

Sara Ann Copperthite née (Pugh)
Passed peacefully this morning at 3:42 am (8.31.2023)
A former nun who left the church when she could not teach anymore, Sara met my dad who was going through AA and they were inseparable until his death 25 years ago. Sara was my father’s 3rd wife and she was not the fault my parents got divorced… in fact she may have saved my dad. She most certainly loved him and was a wonderful human being. When I was in college and needed a place to live, I ran into my dad at a funeral and he invited me to move in with them. Sara accepted me as family and though we have not seen her since Keely was looking at colleges, we have never stopped including her in our lives. We tried to visit her in Florida these past several days but weather and Covid prevented that. However, we were able to facetime with Sara and let her know that we loved her and that she will always be remembered. Keely told Sara, “She is her grandmother”.
Our thoughts and more than prayers are with you and we will never forget you, Sara.
Rest In Peace!

Margaret Jean Paseur

Can not say that we ever met Margaret but we have casually known her husband from the dog park for the past almost 5 years. If she is the better half (which we are sure she was) of Ray than she must have been the light of the world she revolved in. In their honor and her memory, a tree will be planted in our family grove in Scotland. Rest in Peace.

Relmond Hodges

This past weekend we lost a wonderful person who we met later in his life. He is a second cousin and we all share the family history of the largest pie baking concern on the planet. His family ran the Virginia Beach and Norfolk bakeries which were started at the turn of the last century! We are all descendants of Irish/Scottish immigrants who came to America for a better life, who served our country, and our communities, and became part of the fabric that makes the USA great. Relmond we will miss you “a man of  exceptional character”… after all he was an Eagle Scout!

Rest in Peace!

We Love You Will Always Remember!

In The Garden Hymn
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

Refrain

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

Refrain

I'd stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
