Alan Neil
Rasmussen
deceased 21 June 2014
Alan Neil Rasmussen was born in Tacoma, Washington on November
5, 1942, and passed away in Lakewood, Washington on June 21, 2014. Alan was
a lifelong and proud resident of the
Tacoma and Lakewood area. He graduated
from Lincoln High School in 1960 and then attended the University of
Washington, where he studied Political Science and graduated in 1964. Alan then
attended the University of
Washington School of Law, graduated in 1967, and was admitted to the Washington
State Bar in September of that year. In
1968 Alan began serving in the United States Army, 101st Airborne Division, and
honorably served one tour of duty in Vietnam. While serving in Vietnam, Alan
was highly
regarded by his fellow soldiers and officers and was awarded several medals and
honors, including a Bronze Star for meritorious service in connection with
ground operations. Upon returning home
from Vietnam in 1969, Alan began working as an attorney in a law firm in Fife,
Washington, and shortly thereafter he started his own solo law practice in
Spanaway, Washington and maintained his own law practice for 43 years. Alan
met the love of his life, Twila, in 1969
and they married in 1970. Alan and Twila
celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary on June 13, 2014, and they were
constant companions, as Twila was the only person Alan trusted to assist him at
his law practice. Alan and Twila worked
together every day for 41 years. Alan
had two great loves, his family and practicing law. He was very compassionate
and generous with
his time, often assisting those who were in need of his legal services for very
little, or no money at all. He strongly
believed that legal services should be available and affordable to all. When
not spending time with his family, Alan
was happiest being at work and helping those in need of his legal services. Alan
was above all a thoughtful and modest
person, who never asked for much in return as he took great pleasure in helping
people in any way possible. Alan is
survived by his wife, Twila, his children, who gave him great joy and pride,
Genevieve Davis (Kirk) and Jordan Rasmussen (Jess), and grandchildren Grant and
Colette Davis and Skylar and Colton Rasmussen. At Alan's request, no service
will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that
donations be made to the charity of your choice.

Carolyn Lee
SOKOLOWSKI Grismore deceased - 28
Jun 2008
Carolyn "obit" based on comments
by her on-line friends at http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=7753
Carolyn Grismore, also known on these forums as Leandra, lost her battle
with cancer and passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, June 28. She is survived by her daughter Susan, her son
David and granddaughter Rachel, her sister Maryann and her brother Roy, numerous nieces and nephews and many friends.
In
lieu of any memorials, the family asks that assistance be given to your local Hospice - or to the American Cancer Society.
A
class act through and through. Rest in peace, Carolyn.
In 1997 I spent a week with her in Seattle and we traveled all over the
peninsula area west of Puget Sound. Damn, but that's pretty country! We hit Mt. Ranier, Pike Street and all the big touristy
places. I met her sister at that time ... her daughter was living elsewhere so I missed meeting her.
I met Carolyn more
than 10 years ago when we were playing in Kymer/WorldsAway. She was Aisha back then. When we had a gathering in Seattle, she
invited me to stay with her for the few days that the gathering went on. I was going through a really hard time then and she
was a great listener.
I didn't stay in touch with Carolyn or most of the others from that era. I had real life situations
that forced me to move on and make changes in my life. I wish I had kept in touch better. She was a genuine person with a
huge heart. I was really sorry to hear that she had cancer and from what I have read here, she went quickly, which is a blessing.
Dream
well, Carolyn. You left your memory in the hearts of many.
There haven't been any services.
She will be cremated by the Neptune Society and her ashes scattered in Puget Sound, which she loved so much. In august there
will possibly be a family/friends memorial get-together.

was not going to pass away alone. To the staff at Hospice House, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the tender

many friends who visited him to show their love. All of us will miss him very much. Funeral services for Don will be Friday,
