Saturday, June 10, 2017Diss. “He did all the major work. He was the heart and soul of the business.”Diss said as far as the repair business goes, he's not sure what his future holds. Ingram's brother, Bruce, will be stepping up to help.“I could never replace him,” said Diss. “I don't know for sure what I'm going to do yet. There are a lot of unanswered questions.”Ingram's sister, Melissa White, said the two were close growing up, but hadn't seen each other in several years.“He took me for my driver's test,” said White. “He would take me fishing. He had a big heart. He would do anything for anybody.”White, who lives in Neoga, said they had a large family with 13 siblings who are now across the U.S. Lowell Ingram also has a twin brother, Lyle.“You just don't realize how precious life is,” said White. “I've been in touch with his kids today and I heard how he was crazy about his grandkids.”A friend, Zennia Snow of St. Peter, said Ingram was a loving father and grandfather and when he wasn't being a mechanic, he loved to fish.Funeral arrangements are being handled by Pagel Funeral Home in Edgewood. No details were available Wednesday.Contact Dawn Schabbing at dawn.schabbing@effinghamdailynews.com or 217-347-7151, ext. 138...
Monday, February 27, 2017Dallas Symphony gig and conducting engagements on his 2017 calendar. Skrowaczewski’s tireless career is forever tied to the orchestra he took charge of in 1960, at age 36, and never left. After stepping down as music director in 1979, he remained its conductor laureate.It was his relentless proselytizing that got Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis built in 1974 after decades in the then-acoustically deficient Northrop Auditorium. He was the conductor the musicians turned to during a bitter 16-month lockout, leading a rogue, musician-led concert in 2012. And, when they returned to Orchestra Hall in 2014, he held the baton.Despite increasing frailty and heart problems, he conducted and composed until the end. “When you are 93,” he told the Star Tribune last year, “there is so much work to do because there is not a lot of time left to do it.”In what turned out to be his final concerts, he led the Minnesota Orchestra in Anton Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony in October, just after his 93rd birthday. It was a fitting farewell: Skrowaczewski was one of Bruckner’s finest interpreters, and, when he retired as music director, the same symphony was his valedictory.The October performance “seemed hardly the work of a man in his twilight years,” wrote critic Michael Anthony, who covered Skrowaczewski since the 1970s. “It was bold, vigorous and dramatic, a prime example of what might be called this conductor’s later style, a reading with a strong sense of direction, of inevitability and flow.”‘Out of this world, listening’Skrowaczewski forged an early passion for the Austrian composer he often referred to as “my beloved Bruckner.”Born in Lwow, a Polish city that’s now part of Ukraine, Stan was 7 and walking down the street with a friend when he heard music through an open window. He felt faint and feverish even the next day.“I stood there, completely out of this world, listening,” he recounted in “Seeking the Infinite,” also the name of Harris’ documentary film about Skrowaczewski. “It turned out that it had been Bruckner, his Seventh Symphony. And since then, Bruckner has been someone special.”Skrowaczewski began studying piano and violin at 4 and composed his first symphonic work at 7. At 13, he played and conducted Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto. But his dream of being a concert pianist was dashed when the Germans bombed Lwow in World War II. The wall of a house crashed down on him, injuring his hand.So he composed and conducted, becoming known as Poland’s young star maestro. The Minneapolis Symphony courted him after he electrified crowds with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1958. But Poland’s Communist government was su...
Monday, February 06, 2017SCI to be forthright, honest and fair, with a genuine commitment to the future of funeral service,” stated Mr. Deuth in an open letter to members of a regional funeral directors' association.Stepping away from the successful businesses he helped grow and create was no easy decision. Mr. Deuth was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and will be undergoing a stem cell transplant treatment to achieve remission. “Linda and I have decided and agreed that the restoration of my health must be my singular focus and my number one priority,” says Mr. Deuth who committed to being retained by SCI in a consultative role moving forward.SCI does not anticipate any significant changes to operations including the existing management team and staff. Additionally, SCI will continue to honor and fulfill all customers’ pre-need contracts. Bill O’Brien, SCI’s Managing Director, is pleased to welcome the Weerts Funeral Home and Riverbend Cremation Center family to SCI. “We are very excited to have the Weerts’ high-standards, tradition and team join our company, and we look forward to their continued success in the Quad Cities.”Service Corporation International, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is North America's leading funeral and cremation service provider. Generational Equity, headquartered in Dallas, Texas selected its Iowa partner Marigold Resources, in Davenport, to lead Mr. Deuth's M&A advisory team.
Monday, January 16, 2017County Police detectives are working to uncover what led to the first county homicide of the year, the shooting death of a 55-year-old man off Epping Forest Road Monday afternoon.Police identified the man as Terry Paul Crouse, whom police found suffering from gunshots at his home in the 1800 block of Kimberwicke Place.Police tried to resuscitate the victim until firefighter paramedics arrived and took over. The victim was declared dead at the scene, police said.The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled Tuesday Crouse's cause of death as "gunshot wound(s) with the manner being homicide".Crouse, known to friends and family as "TC", was an electrical contractor, and was described by neighbors as friendly and would help clear snow from neighborhood driveways.Neighbor Robert Childers heard the shots."Bang, bang, bang, bang. Then nothing," he said. "Then like 1,000 police cars. We're just sick about it."He said Crouse was friendly, always said hello. "I had a vegetable garden and used to take him vegetables.Neighbor Kirk Vollard said he was helping his son with his homework when he heard loud noises."I thought something fell u...
Monday, December 26, 2016He wanted to be a leader. He was a leader in the post and he helped mentor all of the other Fire Explorers to be the best that they could be.”Those early years of leadership formed a stepping stone for Davis, Becker said, adding, “I think his first uniform and his first badge meant the world to him.”While a kid, Davis entertained the usual childhood dreams of going professional with football or basketball — he was a standout football player for the Sandcrabs — but a hunger to become a warrior compelled him to enlist in the Marines.“I about had a heart attack,” said his father figure, Forrest Buckwald, co-owner of Buck’s Gun Rack in Daytona Beach.Once past the initial shock, Buckwald helped sway Davis to switch his enlistment to the Army, where he believed career opportunities would be more boundless and where he said Davis came to find his niche.The last decade of Davis’ life unfolded with 11 deployments, which dropped him into some of the most dangerous corners of the world, including Tikrit, Iraq, where he was killed under enemy fire.The decorated veteran’s family members are still battling to soldier on without him, Adams said. His death was particularly devastating for their mother, Ellen Davis, who still lives in Daytona Beach.For Adams, now stationed in Honolulu, the process to move forward is regularly stymied by her military role in mortuary affairs, in which she processes the remains of soldiers.“So every time I’m working with a family or a set of remains, it’s always a constant reminder,” she said.As painful as the reminders are, Adams and Buckwald are more pained at the thought of their hero being forgotten by the masses he devoted his life to protecting.The memorial at Seabreeze High will at very least keep the memory of Davis intact amongst Seabreeze family members.“One kid there may look at that and think, 'Maybe I can make a difference,’” Buckwald said.
Monday, December 19, 2016Her husband, Jerry Margolin, was the executive director and master of ceremonies for the same run.Margolin took care of most of the day-to-day duties of the pageant, her son said, including prepping the young women for the competition, working out the choreography and increasing sponsorships.The pageant has since had several winners go on to become Miss California and compete in the Miss America competition in New Jersey, the most recent, Bree Morse, in 2015.“They took it from a fledgling pageant to a thriving one,” Raphael Margolin said. “It’s given thousands of dollars to the contestants.”Connie Margolin was born Oct. 4, 1941, in Omaha, Neb. When Margolin was a teenager, the family moved to California. Margolin graduated from North Hollywood High School.Jerry and Connie Margolin, who moved to Garden Grove in 1973, got involved with the Strawberry Festival, which draws 300,000 people annually; both were longtime festival directors. Connie Margolin, her son said, created such popular festival events as the Berry Berry Beautiful Baby, and Tiny Tots Kings and Queens contests.Connie was also on the boards of several local nonprofits until largely retiring in 2011. She was on the Planning Commission until her death.There will be memorial and graveside service at 2 p.m. Monday at Harbor Lawn-Mt. Olive Memorial Park & Mortuary, 1625 Gisler Ave. in Costa Mesa. From 4 to 8 p.m. that day, a “celebration of her life” will be held at the Garden Grove Community Center, at 11300 Stanford Ave.Besides Raphael Margolin, Connie Margolin is survived by children Nancy Williams, Ann Eileen Carder, Mike Margolin and Debra Righter; brothers Stuart and Bradley Nichols; 10 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Daughter Stacy Margolin died this year.Contact the writer: 714-796-6979 or chaire@scng.comDigital & Driveway Delivery - 50% OffMost Popular...
