July 13, 1922-April 1, 2011
Dec. 30th 1924-2011 Annie Yung Suen was born on December 30th 1924. She was one of two siblings. She went to school and spent her childhood years in China. At 19, she married her sweetheart, Francis Suen. They were blessed with four children, three (Rita, Dora, and Mickey) were born in China and Leslie was born on Saipan, Mariana Islands. After World War II, Annie and her family lived in China, Hong Kong, Mariana Islands, Okinawa and then back to Hong Kong. Francis and Annie decided to immigrate to the United States where the family could pursue the “American Dream”. At the end of 1958 they landed in San Francisco where they lived for six month before settling in Palo Alto. In Palo Alto, despite her language barriers, Annie found a position with Kaiser Aerospace and Electronics as an assembly line worker, moved into a supervisory position and retired after 25 years with the company. She was an environmentalist and started a recycling program for which she received commendations and a monetary award for her efforts. Annie was creative, “good-with-her-hands”, had a green thumb and spent her free time gardening, needle working and entertaining her family and friends. She is survived by her daughters, Rita and Dora (Ashley), a son, Mickey, seven grandchildren, Sheila, Christopher, Timothy, Alisa, Sierra, Brendan and Alex, and sons-in-law, Yuan-Cheng and Tony.

Of his many interests, Fran’s favorites included a love for the discoveries of Astronomy, and a relentless pursuit of the most cutting edge theories in mathematics. He had a passion for the culinary arts and a penchant for top-notch martinis. Some may remember Fran from the Manhattan Playhouse in East Palo Alto, where he could frequently be seen in the box office, parking cars or taking an occasional part on the stage. Fran was not only a brilliant and distinguished scholar with a gifted intellect, but also a kind and generous person with a quirky sense of humor. Fran is survived by his wife, Jeanne and her two children Charlotte and Steve. He will be deeply missed. In lieu of flowers or donations, just raise a martini to Fran’s memory.

Carl William Poll, Jr January 19, 1920-March 26, 2011
Carl William Poll, Jr., a resident of Palo Alto since 1947 and former Palo Alto High School teacher, passed away peacefully in his home on March 26, 2011. Carl was 91 at the time of his passing. He was born on January 19, 1920 in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1931 his family moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where his father worked during the depression as an accountant for Conoco Oil. In his youth he became an accomplished pianist, giving many wellreceived recitals during his teenage and college years. He attended Texas Christian University where he excelled as a student and athlete. He played on the college tennis team for four years and in his junior year was named the most outstanding student in the Economics Department. From 1941 to 1943 Carl was a missionary in eastern Canada for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. There he became acquainted with his future wife Helen Nelson, of Cardston, Alberta, Canada who was also a missionary. He served 2½ years in the Navy and then moved with his wife Helen to Palo Alto, where in 1947 he entered Stanford University on the G.I. Bill and received a Masters Degree in Economics in 1950. After a few years with Bank of America and eight years as an underwriting manager with Allstate Insurance, he decided his true love was teaching. He obtained a teaching credential from San Jose State and became a teacher at Palo High School, where he taught economics and government for twenty-five years. The last twelve years he headed the Social Studies Department. During this time he also had a flourishing side business as a piano teacher, and his wife Helen owned and operated the Midtown Nursery School in Palo Alto. He was an active member of his church, where among other positions, he served as the Bishop of the Palo Alto First Ward from 1979 to 1984. He was proud of the fact that each of his three sons received law degrees and his daughter obtained a PhD in Psychology. Carl was appreciated by many for his humor, kindness, intelligence, musical talent and amiability. He is survived by his wife Helen, daughter Shelley, sons David, Dennis and Brian, grandchildren Christopher and Geoff, and great grandchildren Alexander, Lola, Abbie and Kara. A memorial service was held on March 31, 2011 in the Middlefield Road, Palo Alto Chapel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, followed by a burial service at the Alta Mesa Memorial Park in Palo Alto.
