Neighbors: Opening day for Oaks Dads Club
Lost Cat!
Bubbles is missing!
By Elizabeth Villarreal elizasgarden@outlook.com Nothing says spring has sprung like opening day of the 2015 Baseball and Softball Season at Oaks Dads Club last week when teams, parents, volunteers and friends participated in the annual Opening Day festivities. The day began with a parade of teams marching from Waltrip High School down to the ODC complex. The ODC Board Members and community would like to thank Constable Alan Rosen for leading the parade and Ashley Coffee for singing the National Anthem at the opening so beautifully. The new 2015-2016 ODC Baseball Board was announced: President - Sean Jez, Treasurer - Jeremy Woods, Comptroller - Beth Culver, Shawn Salyers, Angela Solice, Melissa Medina, Steven Ruffino, Lori Woods, Andy Moore and Andy Tomczeszyn. The ODC Hall of Fame honors those men and women who have played a major role in the growth and development of youth sports at Oaks Dads’ Club. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to bring to the attention of the public the widespread value of Oaks Dads’ Club by honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to ODC’s success as well as those for whom ODC laid the foundation for his or her successful career in sports. Last year was the inaugural year of the ODC Hall of Fame and 5 men and women were honored. This year ODC inducted 3 more of its alumni into the Oaks Dads’ Club Hall of Fame. Oaks Dads’ Club inducted J.T. Levay into the Oaks Dads’ Club

Hall of Fame in the Coaches Category. J.T. coached football and baseball at ODC for many years in the ‘60s. There was only 1 field at ODC at that time. J.T. went to all the local companies and members to get sponsorships to build the football field. He loved to coach and his philosophy was that you must get to know a child before you can coach them. He believed in the mental and physical therapeutic values of the game and was determined not to overlook any small detail which might lessen those values. Oaks Dads’ Club inducted Humphrey Hughes into the ODC Hall of Fame for Meritorious Service. Humphrey Hughes’s relationship with ODC spans from 1950s to 2000s. Hughes assumed many roles including President, Vice President, and Publicity Chair for the Corporate Board; Vice President and Tee Ball Supervisor of the Softball Board; and President of the Baseball Board. Oaks Dads’ Club inducted Pat Hale into the ODC Hall of Fame for Meritorious Service for service spanning over 20 years. Pat began

coaching softball at ODC in 1983 and continuously coached until 2006. During this time, she was a member of the softball board, football board, basketball board, and corporate board. Pat helped build the football program in the 1990s and organize the BBQ cook off and moms’ powder puff games to benefit the football program. She advocated for children whose families could not afford to pay their fees and believed that all children deserve a chance to play. Oaks Dads’ Club was her second home which she loved dearly. Some might argue it was more like her first home since she spent the majority of her time there. Pat lived to coach which can be seen by the “Coach Pat” shirt she wore when she was laid to rest last year. Pat’s dedication to ODC and its children was beyond compare. Although Pat is no longer with us, her contributions to Oaks Dads’ Club live on. Finally, ODC announced an outfield sign in memory of Ron Roznovsky will be installed. Mr. Roznovsky was an ODC Hall of Fame inductee last year.

ryan Harris
Ryan Harris, beloved father, husband, brother, friend entered eternal life on April 7, 2015. His spirit is carried on by his wife of forty-two years, Rhonda Harris, as well as his brother Dee, three children Ryan, Brent and Lauren, six grandchildren, and an extended family of relations and friends. We were blessed to learn many great lessons from Ryan in his sixty four years, including to always help those in need. He was one of the hardest workers you could ever meet and he took pride in his work and was well known in the Oak Forest community as an honest mechanic, always willing to help others, always offering fair and thorough service. We will have dinner and a memorial celebration of his life at SSQQ in the Heights. Please join us at 1431 W 20th St., Houston, TX 77008 at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday April 11th, to celebrate the life of our dear Ryan. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St Jude Children’s Hospital.
