Saturday, April 08, 2017Marie Goins 89, of Long Branch, NJ was born on October 17, 1927 in Atlantic Highlands, NJ and remained a lifelong resident of the shore area.Everyone who knew her knew how much she loved God's Word the Bible and that she read it daily. As the years progressed, her yearning for learning the deeper things of God became an important part of her life. As her knowledge grew, her love for Jehovah God grew and she begin faithfully attending the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.She was such an influential, loving, caring, genuine person, who always looked for a way to help everyone. She enjoyed spending time with her great grandchildren. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and loyal friend to many who will always be in our hearts. Her smile, generosity, and world-class cooking will be truly missed.On Friday, March 24th, 2017 she fell asleep in death peacefully at home and awaits the Bible's assurance of a resurrection to a Paradise Earth as promised at John 5:28, 29 and Psalms 37:29.She was predeceased by her loving husband of 51 years, Leonard R Goins, h...
Monday, March 27, 2017The family had learned that authorities had found remains that might provide closure to their grief. Mr. Tizon flew to the tiny town to write a lengthy magazine piece for The Atlantic on the family’s struggles and the broader phenomenon of why so many people vanish in that state.Those who worked with Mr. Tizon said the story was emblematic of his career — the way he spent so much time deeply reporting the piece, and the fact that he chose a topic that others in the media likely would have ignored.“He had a real interest in marginal characters and people who had not been in the spotlight,” said his editor on The Atlantic piece, Denise Wills. “He almost became a member of the extended family for these people.”In an interview last year, Mr. Tizon told the Harvard journalism program: “The stories I work on, especially for any length of time, do tend to become personal to me.”Jacqui Banaszynski, a University of Missouri journalism professor who was Mr. Tizon’s editor for two years at The Seattle Times, echoed others who said his death was a loss to the journalism community. She recalled Mr. Tizon as “an almost philosopher essayist” in his approach, and that the paper would send him on stories that were complex and needed to be told at a deeper level than the standard news story.A day after Sept. 11, 2001, for instance, the paper sent Mr. Tizon and photographer Alan Berner out for a series of several lengthy vignettes from various parts of the country that chronicled how communities were coping with the fallout of the terror attacks.“We need more people doing the kind of work he learned how to do, telling those authentic, true stories, rather than just race-and-chase journalism,” Banaszynski said.Mr. Tizon had a profound impact on other reporters, as well.Lisa Heyamoto remembers starting out as a summer intern at The Seattle Times in 2001, sitting at the desk across from Mr. Tizon.“I was just this flush-faced kid and was so hungry to get better and Alex paid attention to my work, and gave me feedback and clarified a lot of things for journalism for me at a time when I was really hungry and really impressionable,” Heyamoto said. “It made a huge impact on me, and I never forgot it.”Heyamoto, who later got full-time reporting jobs at The Seattle Times and The Sacramento Bee and worked alongside Mr. Tizon when the two were instructors at Oregon, said that whenever she got writer’s block she would reread a 2000 story by Mr. Tizon called “Thom Jones and the Cosmic Joke,” about a former school janitor in Lacey who became a celebrated but tortured writer. It turned a fairly simple story into a broader piece about suffering and life choices.“It reminded me of what you can do with a seemingly small story. He can tell this unsung story, and that’s a service to journalism, and a service to humanity,” said Heyamoto. “I modeled myself after him.”As a professor, his colleagues said he ditched the PowerPoint-and-lecture style and simply got up and told stories.He had a deep interest in fight clubs and boxing, and was an avid outdoorsman.His family was in Eugene on Saturday...
