He was well known around town, and Carpinterians may remember seeing "Grandpa" at all the football, baseball, softball and basketball games in his wheelchair, cheering on his grandchildren. His family and friends, however, will remember him as he was before he became ill... a hardworking, friendly man with a quick wit, who loved a good game of golf and always had a good joke to tell. He loved to dance and had a passion for music and sports, which he passed down to his children and grandchildren. Neighbors often commented that they knew when Dick was home because they could hear the sounds of the "big bands" emanating from the Nichols house. In later years, he served on the Board of the Parkinson Association of Santa Barbara and for several years he published the organization's newsletter. He was first and foremost a family man who never failed to be loving, supportive and "there" for all of us. We will forever be proud to call him "husband", "Dad", "Grandpa" and friend. Our lives are better for having loved him.

REINACHER, Ottilie P.
Born January 16, 1904, in Mannheim Germany passed away early January 1, 2000. Ottilie was one of eight children born to Theodor and Rosina Reinacher. She emigrated to the United States in 1924, later sending for her youngest sister, Margarethe, who later was to become Mrs Ernest Caesar in Santa Barbara. Sponsored by a family friend in Dayton, Ohio, Ottilie attended Business classes at night in order to improve her English language as well as learning secretarial and accounting skills. Her initial employment was as a cook to the Patterson family in Dayton. The family maintained a winter home in Santa Barbara and brought their domestic staff with them. Once she saw the beauty of Santa Barbara, she never returned to Dayton. She took a position with the J J Newberry store on State Street, eventually becoming the head cashier at the store where she worked for 25 years. She retired in 1969 and enjoyed her retirement by traveling to her native homeland and working as a volunteer with the Emanuel Lutheran Church. Ottilie was pre-deceased by her sister Margarethe who had traveled from Dayton, Ohio to join her in Santa Barbara in 1942. She is the last of her eight brothers and sisters to join the Lord. She is survived by her nephew, Tom Caesar, his wife Janice and her grand nephews, Darren and Gary Caesar.

She was born in the Bronx, New York on October 29, 1944, welcomed by her parents Sidney and Kate Tobias and brother Ivan. Llana attended public schools in the Bronx and Brooklyn, followed by a year at Hofstra University for which she had received a drama scholarship. She returned to complete a BA degree with honors at Brooklyn College, where she majored in political science. In the summer of 1963, she met her husband-to-be Robert Sherman; they were engaged on February 14, 1965 and married 1 1/2 years later. They resided in New Haven, Connecticut, where Llana taught in nearby grade schools while completing a M. S. degree in eduction at Southern Connecticut State College. In June, 1969, the couple moved to Santa Barbara. Llana taught at La Patera Elementary School until the birth of their son, Jonathan Colbert Sherman, in November, 1970. Colbey's sister, Relissa Anne Sherman, was born December, 1972. In 1971, concerned about the adverse effects of rampant growth in the area and how the water demands were exceeding available resources, Llana ran for election to the Goleta Water Board on an environmentalist slate. She was elected and helped influence action that led to the Goleta Water Moratorium. This significant measure dramatically curtailed growth in the area for many years, raising awareness about considering limited natural resources as a central factor in the planning process. Several years after serving a second four-year term on the Water Board, Llana was appointed as the Planning Commissioner for the Third Supervisorial District of Santa Barbara County where she continued her environmentalist efforts. In the 1980's and 1990's, Llana was employed by UCSB, Santa Barbara Research Center, the Community Environmental Council, the City of Ventura, and the County of Ventura, the latter two affording opportunities for her to apply her interest and skills in the water conservation area. Llana's zest for life went well beyond her political and career accomplishments. In 1998, she independently trained for and successfully completed the New York City Marathon. Her long-time outdoors interests included running, walking and biking. Her passions for traveling, jazz music, and the theater took her on many trips. She attended several jazz festivals in New Orleans, among others in Montreal and Monterey. Her appreciation for the theater was lifelong. She enjoyed attending plays and musicals from coast to coast. Her trip to Europe while her daughter Relissa was one in which they both gained a new appreciation for living life to its fullest. Llana's impact on those around her cannot be described fully by words. During her tremendous fight for life over the past 7 1/2 years, she developed a true appreciation for the unique individual qualities her friends and family possess. She was able to depend on many people during the toughest of times and for these relationships, she was very grateful. Those who has the privilege of spending this time with her were rewarded with a new understanding of what courage really means, and respect for what life is really all about. Family and friends are all-important; stress and the "small stuff" are not deserving of time. Thank you Llana for these perspectives. Llana is survived by her mother Kate Tobias of Ventura, daughter Relissa Sherman of San Francisco, son Jonathan "Colbey" Sherman and his finance Tracy Cline of Long Beach, brother Ivan Tobias and his wife Carol of Calabassas Park along with their children Andrea and Debra, her former husband and close friend Robert Sherman of Santa Barbara, Robert's parents David and Goldie Sherman of Florida, and many precious friends in Santa Barbara, Ventura and elsewhere. A memorial service will be held at Temple Beth Torah, 7620 Foothill Road in Ventura on Friday, January 7, 2000, at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, friends my remember Llana through a contribution to The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, One Penn Plaza, Suite #1610, New York, NY 10119.

Erik was preceded in death by a sister, Jordyn Lynn Kester, and by a grandfather, Harry Mengis. Erik's story is one of courage and character. His sister, Jordyn, then 1 year old, was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia in 1988. Erik, then 4 years old, became her donor and best pal through two bone marrow transplants. Sadly, neither transplant was successful, and Jordyn died in 1989. In the following years, Erik transformed the Kester home from one of grief to one of joy. He played soccer and basketball. He enjoyed rollerblading and surfing with his pals. With his parents, Erik shared hobbies like Karate and watching movies and pets named Pockets, Stripes, and Keesy. Together, they made countless friends at the El Montecito Presbyterian Church. Then, in July of 1997, Erik was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. Erik, then 12 years old, faced the long struggle leading up to and beyond his own bone marrow transplant. Erik simply lifted his spirit to a higher power. Unable to play contact sports, he became an avid golfer. Unable to surf the ocean, he learned to surf the web. Already a good student, he became better. He smiled and joked and he loved. He also won that battle. His bone marrow transplant was successful. In September of 1998, Erik came home. In his new home in Goleta, Erik continued his academic excellence. He added new hobbies like making custom CDs or playing on-line games with friends. He went to school, he went to church, he went to the movies. Everywhere he went, he took love and hope with him. And then he was gone. In December, 1999, Erik contracted viral pheu- monia. He succumbed after a battle lasting several weeks. A quote from Erik's autobiography reads, "After my life on earth is done, I plan to go up and say hello to my sister and granddad, and then spend eternity with all my family, friends, and my Lord." A private graveside service will be held on Monday, January 10 at 2PM at Santa Barbara Cemetery followed by an open celebration of Erik's life at 3PM at El Montecito Presbyterian Church, 1455 E Valley Rd, Montecito.

NICHOLAS, Oscar
Friends and family will gather on Sunday, January 9 on the grass overlooking the ocean at San Clemente at Cliff Drive to bid farewell to longtime Santa Barbara couple Oscar and Cecilia Nicholas. This view was at their doorstep and they loved it almost as much as they loved each other. Burns and Allen, soup and sandwich, peanut butter and jelly, Oscar and Cecil none of the above sounds right without the other. Both came to Santa Barbara as children attended school and made their lives here. Their accomplishments were not of great heights. Their lives held Santa Barbara in their hearts. Cecilia made friends while working at Oakleys frame shop and golfing. Some of the areas famous artists were her friend and made special pictures just for her. She made it always a point to have soft drinks , cookies, snickers and dog bones for any friend to visit. She battled cancer for the last 20 years making a walker a must but battled life to be around to care for her husband. Surgery in June turned to an infection taking her life at Cottage Hospital. Take care of your Uncle whispered out of her mouth, the battle was over. Cecil passed away at the age of 85. Life could never be the same for Oscar Nicholas. He used to describe Cecil as a beautiful babe and she was. The glisten was still in his eyes as he spoke of her in his dreams. At the age of 87 the first time in his life he was alone. Well taught a poet and scholar, Oscar made his living as a tree specialist. He knew every tree in Santa Barbara. His scrapbooks contained the Dupont Estate, Fess Parkers home trees on Parkway's and Orchards in surrounding cities. Elks pool champion and many a hole in one, Jack of all trades but master of nothing was his saying. His wit and charm kept many a friend. He recently told his niece he felt ignorant and was embarrassed to ask what in the heck a dot com was. She explained it was a computer address. With a twinkle in his eye and a slow smile his answer was I thought so but I was afraid to ask anybody. Last year the couple celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. Their niece Diana rented a limo and took the couple for hours around the city they loved so much. This sight that had been so normal all of their lives had not been seen in awhile. These last few years with Cecil refusing to move to the LA area to be closer to family, the couple grew dependent on friends and nieghbors for rides, meals and companionship. These relationships gave them their last wishes. To never leave their home. Phone calls, postcards and visits kept them independent. When asked to move with his niece Oscar replied, no I have good people here, people who like to tell me what to do. What would they do without me? Besides Johnny the barber needs my money. He's cut my hair for 30 years and I can't skip out on him now. Oscar Nicholas passed away in his home. Farewell to a grand couple. Anyone wishing to pay respects may visit Sunday, January 9th on the grass at San Clemente and Cliff Drive. A short gathering will be at 11:00 am.
