Adam Hasko 5/29/60 – 5/23/19 Aberdeen native Adam Hasko, age 58, passed away on May 23, 2019, after a brief but gracious battle with pancreatic cancer. Adam was a scallywag who had a sharp wit, a quick mind and a healthy skepticism of all things governmental.

Adam loved fly fishing, shooting and hiking.

He was an avid Sci-Fi fan and would have loved to go into outer space one day. On earth, few things excited him more than a huge plate of bacon or a wild blackberry pie. With his beloved wife Patty, he explored Italy, Greece and various states in the U.S. Adam was fortunate to have several families throughout his life. He started out as a Hasko with one brother, Julius, and three step-siblings: Karol, Karl and Yvonne. Orphaned at the age of 16, Sue Miller of Aberdeen took him under her wing, along with her three children Mike, Larry and Diane. In his early 20s, he married Carol O’Neill and they had three children: Erin, Nicholas and Benjamin Hasko. Later in life, he married his best friend and soulmate, Patty Bonnell Hasko, and gained a step-son, Clayton Paschke.

Adam was elected ASB President at Aberdeen High School, held several state titles in Speech & Debate, and attended Grays Harbor Community College & Western Washington University. He ultimately graduated from WSU with a BA and followed that with a Master’s Degree from the University of Wisconsin.

He found his career when the tech industry began to flourish and eventually worked at Boeing and AT&T, among others.

Adam was a gentle man who didn’t try to change others. While not outgoing, he valued his friendships and was a loyal and kind friend. He would help you move, give you a ride, or buy you a hot meal if that was what you needed. He leaves behind his heartbroken wife and many friends and family members who valued his grounding presence and wicked sense of humor. Adam will be truly missed.

Memorial services were held on Sunday, June 16, at the Mount Baker Community Club in Seattle, with a reception following at the Bonnell/Hasko home.

Adam asks you not to send flowers, but to please find a local organization that helps homeless and less fortunate people and make a donation in his name.

Richard Dean Clauson Jr. Richard Dean Clauson Jr., 52, passed away on May 23, 2019, of terminal cancer at his home surrounded by family.

Rich was born on Nov. 22, 1966, in McCleary, Washington to Ruby and Richard Clauson Sr. He attended school in Hoquiam and lived in Hoquiam and Aberdeen most of his life.

He worked as an auto body repairman and painter for several auto body shops in Grays Harbor. He loved restoring and repairing vehicles and was willing to help anyone who stopped by his shop with any car related issues. Rich loved spending time outdoors fishing and hunting. As a youngster, he spent many summers and vacations with his uncle Junior, aunt Terry and cousins, Todd, Troy and Tami. They went camping, fishing, skiing, hunting and enjoyed water sports. Junior and Terry were like second parents to Rich.

He is survived by his parents, Ruby Clauson and Michael Braykovich of Hoquiam; his biological father Richard Clauson Sr. and step-mother Alberta of Vancouver, Washington; three sons, Michael and Ethel Clauson of Wasila, Alaska, Bryce Clauson of Aberdeen, Washington and Branden Clauson of Vancouver, Washington.

Herbert M. Johnson Jr. D.O. Herbert Marshall Johnson Jr. D.O. of Aberdeen, Washington, passed away on May 27, 2019, in Olympia, Washington at Providence St. Peter Hospital surrounded by his loving family.

The son of Herbert Marshall Johnson Sr. and Loucyette (Kizer) Johnson, he was born on Dec. 14, 1939, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

This December he would have embarked on his 80th year of life.

He graduated from high school in Pine Bluff, Arkansas and Henderson State College in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. He earned his Medical Doctorate from Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery in Kirksville, Missouri. He then performed his internship at Carson City Hospital in Carson City, Michigan where he was introduced to his future wife Patricia Ann Rayburn on a blind date that was set-up by her family physician.

He asked Patricia to marry him on their first date and suggested they get married the next weekend because it would work well for his medical rotation schedule, though it would be four months later, on May 21, 1966, when they married.

They moved to Trenton, Michigan, to undertake his medical residency in anesthesiology through Detroit Osteopathic Hospital Association at Riverside Hospital.

Upon completion of his residency, Herb and Pat moved back to Carson City where he began his medical practice in anesthesiology, and they started a family giving birth to Nathan Zachary and Kirsten Nicole. After living for 13 years in Michigan, Herb and Pat decided to take their adventure to the Pacific Northwest where they began their new life in Central Park, a suburb of Aberdeen, Washington.

Herb opened his family practice in Aberdeen in October 1977, eventually moving his practice to Hoquiam. He retired in September 2015 after 38 years of serving the Grays Harbor community. During his time in practice he served as Chief of Staff and on various medical committees at Grays Harbor Community Hospital.

Herb was a caring physician that regarded each of his patients as individuals with a story and

life history that genuinely interested him. He did more than just accept people, he embraced them - regardless of culture, religion, upbringing, or circumstances.

His staff was the backbone of his practice and his nurses through the years — Sharon Godfrey, Barb Carlberg, Shirley Miller and Sharon Eaton — complemented him as a physician.

Outside of medicine, Herb was a collector of knowledge and experiences. His youngest sister Melody referred to him as a Renaissance Man of the First Order, a description that embodied him perfectly.

His mother had been a well-respected teacher and instilled the importance of education in her children, which remained at the forefront of Herb’s mind throughout his life. Herb served for six years on the Aberdeen School Board during which he personally handed both of his children their high school diplomas.

He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting waterfowl on the Mississippi Flyway and bow hunting white tail deer in Michigan. He had a passion for fly fishing and could get lost in the details of intricate fly tying. With family and friends, he created many memories while camping, skiing, sailing and hiking. Herb also possessed a deep sense of humor and laugh that was contagious.

He loved a well-meaning practical joke, was a marvelous storyteller and brought color to the lives of

Saturday, July 20, 2019

Florence Hazel Sisk those who knew him.

Herb was born into a musical family eventually becoming a student of the classical guitar and music theory. He loved many types of music, particularly jazz, and enjoyed experiencing live concerts. His passion for music led to an exploration into art which he pursued with enthusiasm. The family home and life were filled with art and music. Family was one of Herb’s greatest commitments and meaningful accomplishments in his life. Beyond the many family adventures, he loved sharing deep and thoughtful discussions with them.

Herb, our friend, mentor, brother, husband, father, grandfather and inspiration will be dearly missed, but the twinkle in his eye, gentle spirit, humor, passionate nature and loving soul will live on in those he touched.

Herb is survived by his wife of 53 years Patricia, his son and daughter-in-law Zachary and Kari of Ridgefield, Washington; his daughter Kirsten of Scottsdale, Arizona; his brother and sister-in-law Jim and Karen Johnson of Benton, Arkansas; his sister and brotherin-law Sharon and Dale Gallip of Fishkill, New York, his sister and brother-in-law Melody and Peter Rubie of New York, New York; his grandchildren Kaden and Kortnie; his great-granddaughter Kingsley; his nieces Keesha and Kimbra and his nephew Benjamin.

A celebration of his life was held on Sunday, July 14, 2019, at the Rotary Log Pavilion, 1401 Sargent Blvd, Aberdeen, WA 98520.

The family suggests memorials be made to Grays Harbor College Foundation, 1620 Edward P. Smith Drive, Aberdeen, WA 98520; Grays Harbor Community Hospital Foundation, 915 Anderson Dr., Aberdeen, 98520; or Providence St. Peter Hospital, Cardiac Critical Care Unit, 413 Lilly Road NE, Olympia, WA, 98506.

Mark L. Gonzalez Mark L. Gonzalez, angler and amateur racehorse handicapper, dies at 66.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was his birthplace.

Westport, Washington, his home. Retired in 2004, he spent his time with family and friends enjoying beach life.

He enjoyed razor clam digging in any weather, crabbing in secret spots for succulent Dungeness and Red Rocks.

He loved jetty fishing and gave a shout out to Captain Marv as he brought in Red Tails for the fish fry. With persistence he found the occasional salmon in the Westport Marina. Ever the foodie, his winter getaway was Las Vegas with endless restaurants and timeless musicians.

Mark is predeceased by his parents Betty and Jose, his brother Peter, and his niece Elizabeth. Surviving Mark are his wife Marsha, his son Philip, his two sisters, Lee and Tina, their spouse and their children.

Mark opened his home to people who needed extra loving and caring. He didn’t put his life on hold to help them.

Helping others was his life. He opened his heart to his brother and his brother’s family and never looked back. Mark helped Marsha care for her parents and her family whenever extra love and help was needed. Always chef extraordinaire he cooked for family friends and neighbors. He had a way of bringing people together with a kindness and generosity that touched our souls.

Mark supported The Wild Fish Conservancy, the International Federation of Fly Fishers, Trout Unlimited, the Westport Jetty cats, was a board member of the Environmental Coalition of South Seattle, a member of the Union County Sportsmen Club in Pennsylvania, a member of the Paddy Mountain Boys Rod and Gun Club in Pennsylvania, and a founding member of the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society of America.

Ever a man of integrity, Mark was depended on as a moral compass. He believed in honesty, a hard day’s work, liberty, freedom and equality, and the responsibility to do the right thing for

the larger community. Mark did the right thing when it mattered and when it didn’t.

Mark enjoyed the finer things in life, gardening, the fragrance of oriental and trumpet lilies, bar-b-queuing, his preference ever a dry rub, handicapping racehorses, checking his stable for valuable quality long shots, cream donuts, family dinners, flounder fishing with Jose on the Jersey shore, fine scotch, hence a founding member in the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society of America. At a tender age Mark was lured and held by the charm of a fast-moving stream, the swirl of an eddy, the rushing of a mountain creek, just beyond the boulders, under a branching tree. Some of his fondest recollections were fly fishing with Peter, fly fishing with Philip, fly fishing with friends. Odell Shephard said it best “what can a man desire more when standing knee-deep in a mountain river, rod in hand, with trout on the rise. Here he has earth and air and sky before him, strangely interfused and woven into one element. The brook runs over the bones of the planet and carries the sky on its back, so that it is a complete world, and one who gazes into this crystal long and steadily will find not food and drink only but work and play, patience and excitement, knowledge and wisdom, fact and dream.”

Mark passed away on May 21, 2019, with Dinah, Dylan and the Neville Brothers in the background, caressed softly by his wife Marsha, supported compassionately by his friend Leslie.

A crow waited on a branch just outside his bedroom window. He was cremated with his fishing rod, the Belmont stakes line up, Rendezvous BBQ sauce, a shot of good scotch, his body wrapped in a quilt of love with pictures of his family.

A service will be held at Abington Quaker Cemetery in the spring of 2020.

Family and friends will be notified.

Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Twibell’s Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen, Washington.

Jean M. Worrell Jean Marie Worrell passed away, surrounded by family at her home in Thompson Falls, Montana, on May 30, 2019. She had been battling cancer for the last 15 years.

Jean was born the second child of Archie and Georgette Shelp on Jan. 12, 1941, in Carmel, California. Soon after she was born the family moved to Marina, California, where she attended school. She graduated from Monterey High School in 1958.

Over 49 years ago, she entered into a marriage with her lifetime partner Bob Worrell. Together they shared many adventures and raised three children. As the kids grew up, everything with Jean and Bob was a family affair. There was nothing they did that didn’t include the kids. They supported the kids through many years of sports events, fishing and camping trips and anything else the kids showed a passion for.

In their later years they showed the same enthusiasm for the grandkids.

Taking them on grand adventures including fishing trips, camping trips and road trips around the northwest gave their grandkids memories that will last a lifetime. One summer they put on the “Thompson Falls Pioneer Days” to teach the kids outdoor skills.

Jean was a very skilled gardener and loved her time digging in the dirt. When the family lived in Aberdeen, Washington her gardens were included in tours by different organizations. Her vegetable gardens in Thompson Falls were something to be admired. They spent many hours working in the garden all the while giving Bob “direction” on what to do.

Whatever they did worked well because the final product was a thing of beauty.

It didn’t seem to matter the season

Jean was a fabulous hostess. Her and Bob put on many parties that were the talk of the town. No matter if it was a work party, Christmas party or a neighborhood party in Thompson Falls they were always perfect. She would put in hours in the kitchen preparing gourmet dishes for the events.

When the garden would come on she would constantly search for new ways to prepare her fresh vegetables.

In 2000, after a search of the northwest Jean and Bob settled on Thompson Falls as the place they wanted to retire.

She was instrumental in the design and building of their dream home on the Clark Fork river. She volunteered at the Thompson Falls Public Library and spearheaded fundraising efforts to help the community.

Their place on the river was truly Jean’s paradise. During her last years, when her battle with cancer was running out, all she wanted was to be home. Bob would do everything in his power to get her home as soon as her medical procedures would end in Spokane.

Jean is survived by her loving husband Bob; children Ron Nicklas and his wife Tori of Hayden Lake, Idaho, Linda Nicklas and her wife Lisa of Montesano, Washington, and son John Worrell of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. She leaves eight loving grandkids and four great-grandkids. She also leaves behind sisters Doris and Pat along with brother Jim. She was proceeded in death by her brother John.

A celebration of life was held at the Clark Fork Valley Elks lodge, 2519 Industrial Way Thompson Falls, Montana, on Wednesday, June 5. Donations may be made to the Thompson Falls Public Library in her name, P.O. Box 337, Thompson Falls, MT 59873.

Sylva (Neet) Jurasin “To know her, was to love her!”

Sadly, on June 1, 2019, after eight years of battling cancer, Sylva (Neet) Jurasin passed away in her home encircled by her loving family. She was born to Gayle Neet (D. 10/1/05) and Rosalyn (Olson) Neet (D. 4/26/13), on Sept. 11, 1953, at Saint Joseph’s Hospital, the third of five siblings (Dennis, Jared, Timothy and Andrew (D. 7/3/09)).

Being raised with four brothers made her tough, determined and self-sufficient, but she was also elegant, graceful and never afraid to get her hands dirty. She was the second generation of her family to be born and raised in the Wishkah Valley, and had the luck of being raised around her mother’s family, the Olsons. She graduated from Aberdeen High School in 1971, then from Grays Harbor College, where she was the first of her siblings to become a college graduate. She went to work for Western Steel where she became one of the first female traveling sales representatives.

Sylva blossomed into a beautiful woman and at a mutual friend’s house in 1980, she found the love of her life, Philip T. Jurasin. They were married the next summer on June 13, at her family’s estate and a year later she gave birth to Ann Marie Jurasin. She made the choice to became a full-time mother after that and after having Danielle and finally Derek, she felt her life was complete.

Once they were all in school, she started working part-time for Wishkah Cable, the family business her father founded.

Then in 1999, she went back to college, got a second degree and then she and her brother Andrew, owned/operated Wishkah Cable until it was sold to Comcast in 2004. After that, she worked part time, always allowing time for her family and her passion of gardening

and landscaping, which led her to joining the Grays Harbor and Pacific County Master Gardeners, who quickly became an extension of her family.

Over a period of 25 years, she managed to creatively and artistically landscape their home into a garden paradise, so unique in its design, it was chosen to be included in the 2005 Annual Garden Tour.

She always enjoyed a challenge, so she was constantly creating bigger and more complex projects for her and her husband to work on together. Her landscaping was so lovely and enchanting, that both her brother Andy and later her daughter Danielle, had the privilege of being married in her beautiful garden.

She had an eye for interior and exterior design, a deep passion for working in the earth, had the vision to see beauty and possibility wherever she went and the courage to bring her visions to life!

She was truly beautiful inside and out, and unafraid of testing the limits of the world around her!

In addition to her husband Philip T Jurasin, she is survived by their three children; Ann, Danielle and Derek; her grandson Mason Stewart, her brothers; Dennis, Jared and Timothy, along with the rest of her remaining extraordinary family. We will all miss her wonderful smile, room filling laughter and joyful nature. Her love of gardening was second only to her love of her family!

We will miss you deeply and always remember the light you brought into our lives.

A celebration of life was held in Sylva’s honor at her home at on June 22. The guests ate, laughed and shared memories of this extraordinary woman!

Kris L. Vanucie

Judy Anne McKeag

Gerald L. Foy

Kris Lindsay Vanucie, a lifelong Harborite, passed away on June 6, 2019.

He was born in Aberdeen to Joan (Norris) Schneider and Don Vanucie on April 2, 1953.

Kris grew up in Central Park and was a 1971 Weatherwax High School graduate, being one of four generations to pass through those halls. In 1981, he married Jo Sandoval and together they raised two beautiful daughters, Bethani Joan and Nicole Pauline.

Although Kris grew up in Central Park, he spent his summers with his dad and siblings on Silver Lake in Everett. It was there that he enjoyed idyllic summers of swimming, slalom skiing and running the ski boat from morning until night.

In fifth grade, he discovered his lifelong passion of playing the drums. Throughout his life he was in numerous bands with his first one being The Mustangs starting in grade school. While growing up, there was always a band practicing in the basement of his home. Before turning 21, he traveled with Butch Paulson and The Young Country. He later joined local bands, The Show Biz Kids and Van-Shur-Man. Kris was a talented craftsman who built a dome house out at North River for his family, while in his 20s, without a kit. He was very proud and meticulous about his work. His hobbies were fishing and being creative in any way possible. His latest endeavor was working with copper wire.

The love he had for his daughters was immeasurable. He taught them how to swing a bat, a drum stick and a hammer. In their house, he was the king of the sock fight and the best at making paper airplanes.

Football season will not be the same without his phone calls. When it came to dads, to his girls, he was the coolest.

As a child he was encouraged to be a free spirit and to always follow his heart. Kris was quiet, kind, unassuming, humble, down to earth, very intelligent, sensitive and had a sweet smile. He loved to tell stories and would give someone the shirt off his back.

He will be missed and loved forever.

Kris is survived by his beloved girls, Bethani and Nicole; siblings Konnie Vanucie-Shelton (Ron), Debbie Griffin (Dwight) and Danny Vanucie (Kathy); five nieces and nephews and ex-wife Jo Vanucie. He was preceded in death by his parents.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, July 27, at the Hoquiam Elks, 624 K Street from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Judy Anne McKeag left us for a better place on Sunday, May 5, 2019, after a two-year battle with dementia.

Judy was born in Canada and was adopted by a wonderful couple, Guy and Anne Locke. They moved to Vancouver, Washington, with Judy and started their life as a family. In Vancouver is where Judy would attend her school years and would eventually meet her first husband, Paul Charlton.

Together her and Paul had one son, Todd Charlton.

She and Paul later divorced.

Later in life Judy met Mike McKeag. They fell in love and married, and would be married for the rest of both their days. We hope they are together again somewhere out there.

After Judy moved to Montesano with Mike and Todd she started her career at Timberland Bank as a bank teller. From where she would retire 25 or so years later. She made friends with everyone in town while working there. Always, all the time we would hear it from our friends, or maybe a checker at Thriftway or maybe our mail lady: “Judy at Timberland. Oh yes Judy, the little, tiny pretty blonde, She is so sweet.”

We could never write about Judy without describing just how special she really was. She was beautiful, yes, she was smart. Oh yes. She was funny, and witty, and loyal (to her own default sometimes). Judy was almost always on point. She dressed to the finest, her hair and makeup always done. She was well known for her exuberance, cheerfulness, and that crazy sparkle that she always had. It didn’t matter if she knew you or not; Judy always had something kind or funny to say. She would smile at you and almost always leave you with a hug. Again, even if she didn’t know you that well.

Judy just loved life. She loved her dogs, Mandy and Maybe. They were her everything, they were her babies. We would laugh at how crazy she was with these dogs. One holiday she trained Mandy how to open up presents; just in time to show her grandkids on Christmas Day. Judy adored her grandkids. Everything was made special for them. Every holiday and all the birthdays she would always have a special made basket or sweetly hidden presents in the house. They loved her back just as much.

Judy leaves behind her son Todd (Donna) Charlton of Montesano; grandkids Brittany and McKenzi Charlton of Montesano; and great-grandchild Jax Charlton of Montesano. She was preceded in death by her husband Mike McKeag.

We will miss you Judy and all your sparkle.

Judy loved parties so there was one all about her on Sunday, June 30, 2019, at the Moose Lodge, 3 Monte Elma Road.

His legs were so bowed you could drive a head of cattle between them.
